Please note the following instructions regarding laws,
regulations and technical rules.
When setting up solar energy installations, the laws and
regulations at local, state, European and international level that
apply to the country in question must be observed. Generally
acknowledged technical regulations apply; these are usually
formulated in the form of standards, guidelines, provisions,
regulations and technical rules laid down by local and national
bodies, energy supply companies, trade organisations and
technical committees in the relevant fields. The installation of
solar units may require improved rain resistance with regard to
roof, wall and sealing technology and this must be taken into
account accordingly. To meet regulations for the prevention of
accidents, it may be necessary to use safety equipment (straps,
scaffolding, supports, etc.). Such safety equipment is not
supplied and must be ordered separately. Installation must only
be carried out by technically qualified and authorised personnel
with a recognised qualification (verified by a state or national
body) in the relevant technical area.
Use a safety harness when working at height.
The structure of the roof must be assessed for its suitability
prior to commencing work.
This product is unclassified against BS 476-3.
Consult a Structural Engineer if you are unsure of the
collector’s siting.
Loading due to snow may exceed the capability of the
property’s structure.
Wind loads may cause excess forces on the structure and
cause damage.
The Installer is responsible for the suitability of the site and its
sub-structure.
The collector should be sited to avoid damage from falling
debris and vandalism.
All pipe work within this installation must be Earth bonded.
In exposed areas, the collector must be protected against the
risk of lightning.
It is recommended that a minimum of 2 people are used to lift
this product.
The collector must not be lifted by its pipe connections.
Ensure all hydraulic connections are securely fixed and are free
of leaks.
The system must be inspected on completion of the work.
A further inspection is recommended annually.
Avoid installing the collector in shaded areas.
The general recommended torque setting for nuts and bolts is
10Nm.
A separate second array can be installed behind the first if
necessary.
Large arrays will require specialist piping, pump groups and
design.
The collector must not be installed on an uneven roof surface.
Do not apply excessive force when installing the collector.
Hot, exposed surfaces that can be touched must be insulated
to protect against injury.
Lubrication is not required for the ‘O’ ring connections.
