Electrical Connection; Filling The Heating System; Installation Control - Alde Compact 3010 Manuel

ATTENTION! If circulation pump (F 25)
is fitted it must be connected on the
return pipe. The rubber connections must
be secured with band clips.
A thin layer of Permatex Form-a-Gasket
no. 3 should be applied to the joints to
seal them between the rubber connec-
tions.
ATTENTION! The heating system reaches
a high temperature when running. The
heating pipes should be insulated or built
in to prevent the driver or passenger from
getting in contact with them during the
journey.
ATTENTION! Copper pipes, joints or
water storage tanks should not be
used in the system. Aluminium pipes
alone are best. Do not mix different
metals as this can give rise to serious
corrosion damage.
CONNECTION TO THE
FRESH-WATER SYSTEM
In order that the hot water heater shall
function, it must be connected to the vehi-
cle's fresh water system.
The fresh water connections are located
on both sides of the boiler. Blue marking
for incoming cold fresh water and red for
outgoing hot water.
External safety valve with built-in
drain
Alde Article No. 3010 431 Safety/Drain
valve shall be mounted on the cold water
hose into the heater.
Drill a Ø .75 in / 16 mm hole in the floor for
the drain hose, and then screw down the
safety/drain valve into the floor.
Mount the hose connection (F 26) on the
incoming nipple. Connect the safety/drain
valve to the hose connection.
ATTENTION! The safety/drain valve must
not be mounted higher than the hose con-
nection.
Mount the angle connection with built-in
bleed valve on outgoing connection (F
27).
This shall be mounted in the same way
as the hose connection. Mount the bleed
hose (F 28) on the valve's hose sleeve,
and then pull the hose out through the
floor. The hose shall be cut obliquely at
a 30° angle from the direction of travel
under the vehicle. The hose must not be
blocked.
Only use genuine Alde valves.
LPG CONNECTION
Remove the protective cap from the gas
pipe on the boiler (F 29).
Make the LPG installation to the boiler
with a 3/8" flare connection.
When laying the pipe, remember that the
boiler has to be dismounted for service.
The boiler should be connected to an
LPG cylinder with type-approved pressure
reducing valve and a pressure of
30 mbar.
ATTENTION! National regulations must
be adhered to when installing LPG.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

12 VOLT DC (fig E)
Connect the extension cable (E 34)
between the control panel and the LPG
boiler.
ATTENTION! If there is no glycol liquid
in the heating system, wait before con-
necting 12 V to the boiler. This is so that
the boiler shall not be started by mis-
take without glycol. The cable must not
be extended. Only use genuine cables
from Alde, which are available in various
lengths.
Supply of 12 volts to the boiler must be
direct from the battery via the vehicle's
main breaker (E 35) or a separate breaker
(the boiler consumers about 70 mA when
it is in stand-by or is switched off).
A fuse (E 36) of 5 A must be mounted
close to the battery. The plus and minus
cable between the battery and the boiler
shall have an area of 16AWG 1,3mm
to 65 feet / 20 metres length (32 feet/10m
for positive cable and 32 feet / 10 m for
minus cable). With longer cable lengths,
the area must be increased to 14,2mm
AWG.
If a transformer is used instead of battery,
it must be of good quality, giving proper
direct current and not pulsing direct cur-
rent.
ATTENTION. Do not clamp or bind 12
V cables or sensor cables together with
120 V cables. It is preferable not to place
the cables close to each other. If the
cables are bundled, the risk of shutdown
increases.
120 VOLT ~
Connect the boiler (electrical heating ele-
ment) securely to 120 V ~ and secure with
a 16 A fuse for 1,9 kW electrical heating
elements.The boiler must be protectively
earthed. The installation must be carried
out by a qualified person according to
current national regulations. Only genuine
connection cable from Alde may be used.
WARNING: 120 V ~ must be well sepa-
rated from 12 V.

FILLING THE HEATING
SYSTEM
The heating system shall be filled with
a liquid mixture consisting of water and
"GRAS" Generally recognized as safe
non-toxic propylene glycol. Preferably use
ready-mixed glycol of high quality (with
inhibitor) intended for aluminium heat-
ing systems. When using concentrated
glycol, the mixture shall be 60% water
and 40% glycol. If the heating installation
is subjected to lower temperatures than
-15°F/-25°C, the glycol content should be
increased, however, not more than 50%.
The tank for handling the liquid must be
absolutely clean, and the pipes in the
heating system must be free from con-
tamination. This is to prevent the growth
of bacteria in the system.
Filling the system is carried out in the
expansion tank, either manually or using
Alde's filling pump (1900 811), which both
fills and bleeds the system. When filling
manually, the liquid must be poured in
slowly until the level is about .75 in/1 cm
above the MIN line on the tank. Bleed the
up
2
system. Pour in some more if the level
has gone down from bleeding. With a
newly filled heating system, bleed at regu-
lar intervals during the first days the heat-
ing is running.
For other care of the heating system, see
User Instructions.

INSTALLATION CONTROL

The LPG system
• Always check the LPG installation for
leakage after installation or service.
• If there is leakage, localise the leak
with leak spray or soapy water.
• ATTENTION! A naked flame must not
be used when looking for leaks.
• Check that the reduction valve is at the
right pressure.
The heating system
• The heating system shall be checked
for leaks when the entire system is
visible, i.e., before the fixtures have
been mounted. Checks can be made in
two ways. Either leakage control with
0.75 – 1.0 bar over 15 min - pressure
reduction max. 0.05 bar, or by filling the
system with liquid and checking visu-
ally. No leakage of liquid is acceptable.
• Check that all hose clips are mounted
and correctly located.
Miscellaneous
• Check that the draining hoses on the
expansion tank and the drain cock for
hot water are not blocked.
• Check that flue and hoses are correctly
in position, and that hose clips are
mounted and fastened.
• Check that the boiler's service report
has the manufacturing number and
installation date entered in it.
• Check that the year on the boiler's
data plate has a cross against it (when
mounting or during first start-up).
