    Device and principle of operation

    Each Vektor geyser is a structure that has elements in its composition, each of which performs its important function:

    • Copper Heat Exchanger is the main element of the device. It has many hollow tubes. Cold water enters the part, and the gas vapors that are formed during the operation of the burner heat the water.
    • Electrical ignition available in any column model.It is designed to simplify the process of the apparatus and make it safe.
    • Water gas knot starts working after the tap is opened. It consists of three parts: a silumin gas node, an adapter between the nodes, a brass water node. The gas valve begins its operation with an appropriate water pressure. The task of the regulator is timely gas supply, control of its quantity and leakage.
    • Gas-burner. This part of the device is made of stamped sheet. It contributes to the combustion of the air mixture, as well as its entry into the combustion chamber.
    • Gas outlet. It is designed to remove by-products. A special sensor is mounted in the gas outlet, which disconnects the column if there is no optimal thrust. Hot air increases the temperature of the thermal switch, opening, it stops the operation of the burner. Chimney is another safety measure.
    • Thermal sensor - It is an element of the gas column, which protects it from overheating. It is located near the heat exchanger where the peak temperature indicators are recorded.After the temperature reaches 80 degrees, the temperature sensor turns off the gas flow.
    • Fuse serves to regulate pressure, as well as discharge water from the column.

    Geyser Vektor - a universal device that can perform all its functions. The raw material for its work is not only natural but also liquefied gas. A pressure of 0.2 atmospheres is sufficient for ignition.

    Thanks to the simple scheme of the device, the Vektor speakers allow you to save the set temperature mode. Many columns are equipped with glass panels with a variety of patterns, which allows them to be not only useful in everyday life, but also attractive in appearance.

    How to install and configure?

    After acquiring a gas water heater, it is worthwhile to take care of its proper installation. The procedure for connecting the device to the highway should be carried out in accordance with the regulations and requirements, so the work is entrusted to professionals. Installation in the apartment you can do yourself. After buying the equipment, it is required to act strictly according to the instructions, because working with gas equipment is quite dangerous. It is also necessary to order the project documentation, and while the registration is being carried out, It is necessary to purchase parts for work:

    • connecting chimney metal pipe;
    • pipes and fittings for water and gas wiring;
    • stop valves;
    • fasteners to hang the device on the wall;
    • galvanized steel sheet if necessary.

    Hanging the unit on the wall does not require a lot of effort, the main thing is not to disturb the distance to everyday objects. After the process of fixing to the wall it is necessary to connect the column to the water supply. For this, the following actions are performed:

    • using fittings, pipes are connected to the water supply system and the column;
    • to connect the device is to use an American;
    • pipes must be fixed to the wall to avoid overloading the nozzle;
    • mudguard is mounted on the input wiring horizontally and mounted on the wall;
    • on liner you need to install taps.

    After performing all the above works, it is necessary to connect the gas pipe to the column. This requires the help of skilled workers in the industry. They must install the column to the gas line and pre-set the equipment. The user needs to make the initial launch of the column.

    To do this, open both tap water, and then hot water at the mixer. You should wait until the water jet is level, and then turn off the mixer. Next, you will need to insert the batteries into a special compartment and open the gas valve. If the installation of Vektor equipment was carried out in compliance with all the rules, then after opening the hot water, the device will start automatically. The homeowner will only need to adjust the optimum outlet temperature.

    How to use?

    The process of operating gas equipment has many rules, and only when they are performed, the technician will serve for a long time and without interruptions.In addition, the safety of people in the room depends on the correct use of this equipment. For ease of use, the display has a lot of tips for the user.

    When you first turn on the device or if it has not been used for a long time in the gas line, air may accumulate. To remove it, you must repeatedly open the mixer with a minute hold. If the burner is lit, the lever that regulates the water pressure, turns to the right side, so you can open the column.

    To increase the water pressure of the handle, which is responsible for this indicator, you need to squeeze as much as possible. The left handle, which is aimed at regulating the gas supply, adjusts to the required temperature index. With high water hardness it is not recommended to set too high temperatures, the optimal value is up to 55 degrees.

      If there is no need for around-the-clock use of a gas column, then it is worth turning it off at night, in some models there is a built-in microswitch. To turn off the device, follow these steps:

      • close hot water;
      • shut off the gas shut-off valve;
      • shut off the water flow to the equipment.

      Safety rules when using Vektor equipment:

      • if you smell gas, it is necessary to turn off the tap, ventilate the room and call the gas service;
      • you should not run the equipment in the absence of traction;
      • in the room where the column is installed, there should always be fresh air;
      • it is forbidden to make changes in the design of the device.

      Malfunctions and methods of their elimination

      Like any other technology, the Vektor gas column may eventually cease to function. Such a situation can provoke a number of reasons.

      For example, if the device does not start work, but a spark is present. The following signs may be observed:

      1. No gas supply. To restore it, you need to open the valve.
      2. Water flows into the system with low pressure. To eliminate the problem, you can install the sediment, which will make the water pressure more.
      3. The water in the system has a good pressure, but when it leaves it loses. Most likely, scum has formed in the heat exchanger. To eliminate the cause, you will need to disassemble the part and clean it.

      If the equipment does not turn on and there is no spark, then to troubleshoot the problem, first of all it is necessary to inspect the relay and determine the mode set in it. If it is minimal, then switching to a maximum is required. The second reason may be the need to replace the batteries.

      The device ignites and goes out after a while. Causes of the situation:

      1. Bad traction, which can be increased by cleaning the chimney.
      2. The exhaust pipe is dripping at the connection point. In this case, it is urgently necessary to restore its tightness.
      3. Triggering the sensor that controls the temperature. In this case, it is worth lowering the temperature.

      If at maximum gas flow the water temperature does not heat to the desired level, The problem may be caused by the following reasons:

      1. Clogged heat exchanger. Accordingly, the element must be rinsed immediately.
      2. Weak gas pressure, which only gas service can normalize.
      3. Fouling or damage to the membrane. To fix the problem, it is worth repairing the water / gas unit or replacing the membrane.
      4. Sharp change of flame color from blue to yellow. It is necessary to check the accumulation of dust and soot inside the burner.If it is present, the part is worth cleaning.

      If the geyser hums and vibrates during operation, it can be:

      1. malfunction of the heat exchanger, which needs urgent repair;
      2. Too high gas pressure - when it is lowered, the problem will go away.

      If the column is off, goes out, then there may be several reasons. In this case, the technique may spark or the spark may be completely absent. The reason may be hiding in a lot of water pressure, which should be reduced. Also in the device can be broken parts that urgently needs to be replaced.

      The possible reasons which can put a Vektor gas column out of action are numerous. Some breakdowns lie inside the device, others become a consequence of failures in the flow of water or gas, and still others - in the wrong use of the device. Like any other household appliances, the gas water heater needs proper and proper installation, adjustment and careful treatment.
