1. Basics
1.1 Safety instructions
Please follow these safety instructions faithfully to eliminate hazards, personal injury and material damage. The installation, commissio-
ning, inspection, maintenance and servicing may only be performed by an approved, specialist company. Please familiarise yourself with
all the parts and their handling before starting work. Observe the applicable accident prevention regulations, environmental regulations
and legislation for the assembly, installation and operation of the system. In addition, observe the applicable safety provisions of the DIN,
EN, DVGW, VDI and VDE and all relevant country-specific standards, laws and guidelines.
When working on the system: Disconnect the system from the mains and monitor it to ensure that no voltage is being supplied (e.g. at the
separate cut-out or a main switch). Secure the system against being restarted. (With gas-fuelled systems, close the gas shut-off valve and
secure it to prevent it from being opened accidentally). Repairs to components with a safety function are not permitted. The installation
location must be dry and frost proof. Hazards resulting from adjacent components must be avoided. Free access must be ensured.
1.2 Intended use
The components listed in the following instructions are intended for use in heating systems according to DIN EN 12828. The boiler guard
is an optional system component that simplifies the commissioning and maintenance of a heating system and minimises faults caused by
gas and foreign substances during its operation.
