7Chapter 3 | The water heater designVPB/VPBS
GeneralPipe installation must be carried out in accordance withcurrent norms and directives.
Internal support bushes should be fitted when a plasticpipe or annealed copper pipe is used. The water heatermust be fitted with the requisite valves, such as a safetyvalve, shut-off valve, non-return valve, and vacuum valve.An overflow pipe must be routed from the safety valveto a suitable drain. The size of the overflow pipe must bethe same as on the safety valve. Route the overflow pipefrom the safety valve enclosed along its entire length andensure that it is frost proof. The outlet of the overflowpipe should be visible and clearly away from any electricalcomponents.

The solar heating system's supply and return are connec-ted to VPBS 300.
Cold and hot waterConnecting cold and hot water
There must be a mixing valve if the temperature can ex-ceed 60 °C.
Connecting hot water circulation
VPB/VPBS R and E have a connection that allows hotwater circulation.
To reduce the risk of bacterial growth in systems withhot water circulation, the temperature of the circulatingwater should not fall below 50 °C. There should not beany non-circulatory hot water pipes. Adjust the hot watersystem so that the temperature does not fall below 50°C at the ends of the system.

NOTE
Electrical installation and service must be carriedout under the supervision of a qualified electri-cian. Electrical installation and wiring must becarried out in accordance with the stipulationsin force.
SensorsVPB/VPBS can be supplemented with up to two hot watersensors, one for display and one for control. The displaysensor is positioned in the submerged tube for the displaysensor (UA1) and the control sensor in the submergedtube for control sensor (UA2). In cases where it is onlypossible to connect one sensor, use the control sensor(UA2).
VPBS 300 can also be supplemented with a solar sensor.This is placed in the submerged tube for solar sensor(UA3).
Use the sensors provided with the heat pump (or otherheat source). When no heat sensors have been providedthese must be ordered from the manufacturer of the heatsource.

5 Electrical installation
Direct-current anodeVPB 200E is factory equipped with direct-current anodeand supplied potentiostat. The anode cable (W1) is in-stalled in the anode from the factory and only needs tobe connected to the potentiostat.
1. Route the anode cable (W1) along the docking pipe,flow line (XL8).
2. Connect the anode cable (W1) to the potentiostat.
3. Connect the potensiostat to a suitable 230 V wallsocket.
NOTE
The cable between the potentiostat and theanode must either be extended or shortened.
The figure shows VPB 200 E.

Filling and ventingFilling the hot water heater
1. Open a hot water tap in the house.
2. Fill the hot water heater through the cold waterconnection (XL3).
3. When the water that comes out of the hot water tapis no longer mixed with air, the water heater is fulland the tap can be closed.
Filling and venting the charge coil
Filling1. Open the filling valve (external, not included with the
product). Fill the coil in the hot water heater and therest of the climate system with water.
2. Open the venting valve (QM22).
3. When the water that exits the venting valve (QM22)is not mixed with air, close the valve. After a whilethe pressure starts to rise.
4. Close the filling valve when the correct pressure isobtained.
Venting1. Vent the coil via the venting valve (QM22) and the
rest of the climate system via the relevant ventingvalves.
2. Keep topping up and venting until all air has beenremoved and the pressure is correct.
The figure shows VPB 200.

Service actionsSafety valve
The water heater's safety valve sometimes releases a littlewater after hot water usage. This is because the coldwater, which enters the water heater to replace the hotwater, expands when heated causing the pressure to riseand the safety valve to open.
The function of the safety valve must be checked regu-larly. Perform checks as follows:
1. Open the valve by turning the knob anti-clockwisecarefully.
2. Check that water flows through the valve.
3. Close the valve by releasing it. If it does not closeautomatically when released, turn it anti-clockwiseslightly.
Emptying
The water heater is emptied through the siphon (withhose) in the cold water connection (XL3).
Drain the charge coil through the siphon (with hose) onthe docking connection, return to heat pump (XL9).
Drain the solar coil through the siphon (with hose) onthe connection, return to solar heating system (XL14).
