- Sustituir el ánodo gastado por otro nuevo y
rehacer la operativa a la inversa, hasta abrir
las llaves o llenar de agua el depósito.
En modelos ASC, cerrar la llave de entrada de
agua de la red al depósito y abrir un grifo del agua
caliente hasta eliminar la presión en el depósito.
- Levantar la tapa de plástico superior y previa
desconexión de los cables del ánodo desmon-
tar la tapa-brida, aflojando los tornillos que la
fijan al depósito.
- Desmontar el ánodo gastado aflojando la tuer-
ca que lo fija a la brida. (Figura 4).

Storage cylinders of 800, 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500
and 3000 litres for solar thermal systems. Models
AS 800-2 E, AS 1000-2 E and AS 1500-2 E are
fitted with two heat exchange coils. The lower coil
is connected to the solar collectors and the upper
coil is used for the possible additional heating by
means of a back-up boiler.
Models AS 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500 and 3000-1 E
are equipped with a heat exchange coil connected
to the solar collector circuit.
Water heating in storage cylinders without coil
AS 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500 and 3000-IN E
takes place through external heat exchangers.
Optionally, all AS models can be supplied with a
heating element.
ASC 800/200 and 1000/250 have been designed
for combi applications of domestic hot water and
heating.
Both the storage vessels and the coils are in
enamelled steel and protected by magnesium
sacrificial anodes.
All models are heat-insulated with they are heat-
insulated with flexible polyurethane foam and
covered with the same insulating material, lined
with white plastic and a zip fastener.
Delivery
They come on a wooden pallet and are suitably
protected for transport.
In models of 2,000, 2,500 and 3,000 litres, the
polyurethane foam blanket is delivered knocked-
down.
Installation
- Always in a vertical position.
- To comply with current regulations, the following
must be fitted in the cylinder's cold water mains
inlet: a shut-off valve, a check valve, and a pre-
set pressure relief valve at a pressure of less
than 10 bar.
AS model assembly
- Cover the cylinder (mod. 2,000 and 3,000 litres)
with a polyurethane blanket and close the zip,
as required.
- Make the hydraulic connection to the solar
thermal system and, if appropriate (AS models
800, 1000-2 E and 1500-2 E), to the backup
boiler.
If you do not plug boiler support, place caps on
the connections of the coil higher.
- Also make the hydraulic connection to the water
mains inlet (8) and hot draw-off (14), inserting
dielectric sockets.
- Insert the solar sensor and that for a possible
boiler in the tappings (6) and (3) respectively.
- Install a drain cock in (9) and route the
discharge to a drain system.
Magnesium anode assembly in
models 2000, 2500 and 3000 liters
- To screw the anode caps on the two connections
1"1/4G, which are welded on top of the tank.
- To thread the eyelets of the cable (figure 5) on
the two pins of the anodes.
- To thread the eyelet of the brown cable (figure
6) on the pin of an anode and fix the eyelet of
the blue cable on the grounding plate with a
screw.
- To screw a nut M8 on every pin of the anode
and the tank will look like the figure 7.
- To thread the two fastons on the special pin on
the back side of the anode tester (brown cable
on the pin +). Figure 8.
- Place the anode tester in its corresponding
location. Figure 9
ASC model assembly
- Make the hydraulic connection to the solar
thermal system and heating circuit.
- Also make the hydraulic connection to thewater
mains inlet (12) and hot draw-off (10),inserting
dielectric sockets.
- Make connections of the primary circuit (9
and 13) of the cylinders of DHW to the backup
boiler.
- Insert the solar sensor and that for a possible
boiler in the tappings (2) and (7) respectively.
- Also make insert DHW sensor (14)
- Install a drain cock in (1) and route the
discharge to a drain system.
Stopper all connections that have been free
after assembly.
Operation
The heat transfer between the primary and
secondary circuit(s) is established according to
the temperature values set in the
CS* solar control centre, in the thermostat in the
optional
RC* electric heating element
or the back-up boiler, if any.
* See the respective Instructions.
Cleaning
- Empty the tank when necessary.
- In AS model take away the plastic cover and unplug
the screws that fix the flange (1). Figure 2.
- In ASC model, remove the top flange.
- Clean the parts inside accessible.
- Remove the solid parts on the bottom of the
tank.
Maintenance
IMPORTANT: Control frequently the erosion
of the magnesium anode and replace it
immediately when necessary. The damage
of the tank as a result of not having replaced
a extinguished anode could be a reason
to loose the warranty of the manufacturer.
The anode erosion level could be know by
pushing the bottom of the sensor (2). Figure
2. When pushing the bottom (4) Figure 2 and
the arrow is on the red area means that the
anode is extinguished and must be replaced
immediately.
To replace the anode on AS range, proceed to:
- Close the inlet and outlet valves and empty
the tank through the drain connection (9). See
connections diagram.
- Unplug the tap (5) and unplug the extinguished
anode.
- Replace the estinguished anode by a new one
and undo the above procedure until the opening
of the valves and the filling of the tank.
On ASC range, close the water inlet valve and
open a tap of hot water until there is no pressure
in the tank.
- Rise the plastic cover above and unlock the
flange, unpluging the screws that fix it to the
tank. Figure 4.
- Uninstall the extinguished anode, unpluging the
nut that fixs it to the flange.
- Replace the anode by a new one, installing all
the components following this procedure on
reverse.
