4.14 External forces
Avoid any additional forces (e.g.: forces caused by heat expansion, flow oscillations or dead weights on the flow and return lines).
They can lead to cracks and breaks in the water-bearing pipework, to a loss of stability, and also to failure – associated with serious
personal injury and damage to property.
4.15 Inspection before commissioning and re-inspection
These checks guarantee operational safety and its continued presence in line with applicable European regulations, European and
harmonized standards and pertinent technical rules and guidelines of the professional associations for this field of application.
The required inspections must be arranged by the owner or operator; an inspection and maintenance log book for scheduling and
traceability of measures taken must be kept.

4.17 Electrical equipment inspections, routine inspection
Without prejudice to the considerations of the insurer / Operator, it is recommended that the electrical equipment relating to the
external pressure control unit be inspected demonstrably together with the heating / cooling unit not less than every 18 months (see
also DIN EN 60204-1 (2007)).
4.18 Maintenance and repairs
The degassing equipment must be disabled and prevented from being unintentionally enabled until the inspection is completed. To
stop electrical equipment (control unit, pump, motor ball valve, peripheral equipment), isolate the power supply to the control unit.
Note that the safety circuits and data transmissions made while shutting down could trigger safety chains or generate incorrect data.
Note: Even if the control unit is switched off, a 230V signal / voltage may be present across terminals 12,13,14, 16 and 17!
Existing instructions for the heating or cooling unit as a whole must be observed. In order to shut down hydraulic components, the
relevant sections must be blocked using the cap valves and ball valves contained in the scope of delivery of the Vacumat Eco.
The pressure can be relieved using the unit's fill and drain valve.
Caution: The maximum system water temperature in conducting components (vessel, pumps, casings, hoses, pipelines, peripheral
equipment) may reach 90 °C and, in the case of improper operation, may exceed that. This presents a danger of burns and / or
scalding.
The maximum pressure of system water in conducting components may be equal to the maximum set pressure for the system's
applicable safety valve. The Vacumat Eco 300 up to size 900 has a maximum positive working pressure of 10 bar. Use of eye / face
protectors is required if the eyes or face could be injured by flying parts or spraying fluids.
Unauthorised modifications to, and the use of non-approved components or replacement parts is prohibited. This can result in
serious injury to persons and endanger operational safety. They will also render any claim for damages against product liability void.
The recommended approach is to call in Flamco customer service to perform maintenance and repairs.
4.19 Obvious misuse
• Operation at incorrect voltage and frequency.
• Feeding in drinking water systems and operation with medium that does not correspond to VDI 2035.
• Operating the system with deionized water.
• Operating the system with flammable, toxic or explosive means.
• Operation with the wrong system pressure and too high or too low a system temperature.
• Mobile application.
