Safety instructions explained
Danger
This symbol warns against the
risk of injury.
!Please note
This symbol warns against the
risk of material losses and envi-
ronmental pollution.
Note
Details identified by the word "Note" con-
tain additional information.
Target group
These instructions are exclusively inten-
ded for qualified contractors.
■ Work on gas installations must only be
carried out by a registered gas fitter.
■ Work on electrical equipment must
only be carried out by a qualified elec-
trician.
■ The system must be commissioned by
the system installer or a qualified per-
son authorised by the installer.
Regulations
Observe the following when working on
this system:
■ Statutory regulations regarding the
prevention of accidents
■ Statutory regulations regarding envi-
ronmental protection
■ The Code of Practice of relevant trade
associations
■ All current safety regulations as
defined by DIN, EN, DVGW, TRGI,
TRF, VDE and all locally applicable
standards,
Gas Safety (Installation & Use) Regu-
lations the appropriate Building Regu-
lationeither the Building regulations,
theBuilding Regulation (Scotland),

land), the Water Fittings Regulation
orWater Bylaws in Scotland, the cur-
rent I.E.E. Wiring Regulations.
If you smell gas
Danger
Escaping gas can lead to explo-
sions which may result in serious
injury.
■ Do not smoke. Prevent naked
flames and sparks. Do not
switch lights or electrical appli-
ances on or off.
■ Close the gas shut-off valve.
■ Open windows and doors.
■ Evacuate any people from the
danger zone.
■ Notify your gas or electricity
supplier and your local heating
contractor from outside the
building.
■ Shut off the electricity supply to
the building from a safe place
(outside the building).

If you smell flue gas
Danger
Flue gas can lead to life threat-
ening poisoning.
■ Shut down the heating system.
■ Ventilate the installation site.
■ Close all doors in the living
space.
Flue systems and combustion air
Ensure that flue systems are clear and
cannot be sealed, for instance due to
accumulation of condensate or other
causes. Ensure a sufficient supply of
combustion air.
Instruct system users that subsequent
modifications to the building characteris-
tics are not permissible (e.g. cable/pipe-
work routing, cladding or partitions).
Danger
Leaking or blocked flue systems,
or an insufficient supply of com-
bustion air can cause life threat-
ening poisoning from carbon
monoxide in the flue gas.
Ensure the flue system is in
proper working order. Apertures
for supplying combustion air
must be non-closable.
Extractors
Operating appliances that extract air to
the outside (cooker hoods, extractors, air
conditioning units, etc.) can create neg-
ative pressure. If the boiler is operated at
the same time, this can lead to reverse
flow of the flue gas.
Danger
The simultaneous operation of
the boiler and appliances that
extract air to the outside can
result in life threatening poison-
ing due to reverse flow of the flue
gas.
Fit an interlock circuit or take suit-
able steps to ensure a sufficient
supply of combustion air.
Working on the system
■ Where gas is used as the fuel, close
the main gas shut-off valve and safe-
guard it against unintentional reopen-
ing.
■ Isolate the system from the power sup-
ply (e.g. by removing the separate fuse
or by means of a mains isolator) and
check that it is no longer 'live'.
■ Safeguard the system against recon-
nection.
Danger
Hot surfaces can cause burns.
■ Before maintenance or service
work, switch OFF the appli-
ance and let it cool down.
■ Never touch hot surfaces on
the boiler, burner, flue system
or pipework.
!Please note
Electronic assemblies can be
damaged by electrostatic dis-
charge.
Before beginning work, touch
earthed objects, such as heating
or water pipes, to discharge static
loads.

Repair work
!Please note
Repairing components that fulfil a
safety function can compromise
the safe operation of the sys-
tem.
Faulty components must be
replaced with original Viessmann
spare parts.
Auxiliary components, spare and
wearing parts
!Please note
Spare and wearing parts that
have not been tested together
with the system can compromise
its function. Installing non-author-
ised components and making
non-approved modifications or
conversions can compromise
safety and may invalidate the
warranty.
For replacements, use only orig-
inal spare parts supplied or
approved by Viessmann.

Intended use
The appliance is only intended to be
installed and operated in sealed unven-
ted heating systems that comply with
EN 12828, with due attention paid to the
associated installation, service and
operating instructions. It is only designed
for the heating of water that is of potable
water quality.
Intended usage presupposes that a fixed
installation in conjunction with permissi-
ble, system-specific components has
been carried out.
Commercial or industrial usage for a pur-
pose other than heating the building or
DHW does not comply with regulations.
Any usage beyond this must be
approved by the manufacturer for the
individual case.
Incorrect usage or operation of the appli-
ance (e.g. the appliance being opened
by the system user) is prohibited and
results in an exclusion of liability. Incor-
rect usage also occurs if the components
in the heating system are modified from
their intended function (e.g. if the flue
gas and ventilation air paths are
sealed).
Product information
Vitodens 050-W, type BPJC
Preset for operation with natural gas.
Conversion to LPG P requires a gas con-
version kit.
Gas Council no.
■ 29 kW combi: 47 819 31
■ 35 kW combi: 47 819 32
Conversion for other countries
The Vitodens 050-W must only be deliv-
ered to the countries specified on the
type plate. For deliveries to alternative
countries, an approved contractor must
arrange individual approval on his/her
own initiative and in accordance with the
law of the country in question.
Product description
The Vitodens 050-W is available as a
gas condensing combi boiler with inte-
gral plate heat exchanger for DHW heat-
ing. For the connection of heating circuits
and the DHW line, see from page 11.
The Vitodens 050-W is set up for opera-
tion with a constant boiler water temper-
ature.
The following are integrated: one sealed
unvented hydraulic system with 2 con-
nections for heating flow and return and
2 connections for DHW heating.
The following components are integra-
ted into the hydraulic system:
■ Circulation pump
■ 3-way diverter valve

■ Safety valve
■ Diaphragm expansion vessel
■ Plate heat exchanger for DHW heating
Accessory connection
A time switch (accessory) can be con-
nected to the control unit and supplied
with low voltage.
Siting
Siting is possible, for example, in the fol-
lowing locations:
■ Recreation rooms and other living
spaces
■ Ancillary rooms without their own ven-
tilation
■ Compartments (open at the top)
■ Recesses without compulsory clear-
ance towards combustible materials
■ Attic rooms (pitched attics) where the
balanced flue can be routed directly
through the roof
Since the flue pipe connection for room-
sealed operation is surrounded by com-
bustion air (coaxial pipe), maintaining
clearances from combustible materials
is not required. For further details, see
the technical guide "Flue systems for the
Vitodens".
The installation area must be safe from
the risk of frost.

The Vitodens is approved for installation
in wet rooms (e.g. bathroom or shower
rooms) (protection IP X4 D, splash-
proof).
When installing the Vitodens in wet
areas, observe the safety zones and
minimum wall clearances according to
regulation (see also "Electrical safety
zone"). The Vitodens may be installed in
safety zone 1 if hosed water (e.g. from
massage showers) is prevented.

Electrical equipment in rooms containing
a bathtub or a shower must be installed
in such a way that users cannot be
exposed to dangerous body currents.
The IEEE Regulation specifies that
cables supplying permanently installed
consumers in zones 1 and 2 should only
be run vertically and routed into the
equipment from the back.
