Disregarding this warning can lead to serious
injury or death.
WARNING!
Indicates a potentially dangerous situation.
Disregarding this warning may result in serious
physical injury or death.
2.1.2 Handling instructions
● Handling instructions are shown as a list.

arrow.
2.2 Avoiding danger
DAIKIN solar installations are state-of-the-art
and are built to meet all recognised technical
requirements. However, improper use may result
in serious physical injuries or death, as well as
property damage. To prevent such risks, install
and operate DAIKIN solar installations only:
– as stipulated and in perfect condition,
– with an awareness of safety and the hazards
involved.
This assumes knowledge and use of the contents of this manual, of the relevant accident prevention regulations as well as the recognised
safety-related and occupational health rules.

2.3 Use as intended
The DAIKIN solar system may only be used for
solar-supported heating of hot water systems.
The DAIKIN solar system must be installed, connected and operated only according to the instructions in this manual.
Any other use outside the intended use is considered as improper. The operator alone shall
bear responsibility for any resulting damage.
Intended use also includes compliance with the
maintenance and service conditions. Replacement parts must at least satisfy the technical requirements defined by the manufacturer.
This is the case, for example, with original spare
parts.

complied with.
2.4.5 Instruct the owner
● Before you hand over the heating system,
explain to the user/owner how to operate and
check the heating system.
● Document the handover by filling out the
installation and instruction forms together with
the owner and sign them.
2.4.6 Relevant national regulations
● DIN 1055-4: 2005 / EN 1991-1-4 Wind actions
● DIN 1055-5: 2005 / EN 1991-1-3 Snow loads
● DIN 18338 Roofing work
● DIN 18451 Scaffolding work
● DGUV Information 208-016
● DGUV Information 201-054
● DGUV Regulation 112-198
The accident prevention regulations must be
heeded when working on the roof.

3.2Brief description
The DAIKIN solar system is a thermal solar system for supplying
hot water for consumption and solar support.
The pressure-less system (DrainBack) must only be
used with the EKSRPS4A control and pump unit.
Prerequisite for fault-free operation in the DrainBack
system is that the connecting pipes are laid with a consistent
gradient (at least 2 %) and, with two-way connection, the bottom
edges of the solar panel with constant gradient to the return flow
connection or with equilateral connection, mounted horizontally.
Operating mode
The Solar EKSV21P, EKSV26P and EKSH26P high-performance flat solar panels convert solar radiation into heat with a
high degree of efficiency. The heat carrying medium is water with
which the storage tanks are filled in accordance with the associated installation instructions.
As soon as the solar panels have reached a useful temperature
level, the buffer water in the storage tank (which is not under
pressure) is pumped directly through the panels. With insufficient
panel temperature, the circulation pump is switched off and the
system is drained automatically. This operating mode has
several advantages:
– High operating safety as there are no components (such as
expansion vessel, safety valve, vent valves) sensitive to damage or interference
– Excellent heat transfer and heat storage capacity (system
works without antifreeze agents)
– Minimum maintenance requirements
– Frostproof
– No additional solar heat exchanger required
– No stagnation problems
Modular design
The system consists of several pre-assembled modules. Plug-in
technology and a high degree of pre-assembly ensure fast and
simple system installation.

Storage tank
The following storage tanks can be used for the DAIKIN solar
system:
– DAIKIN EKHWP: Highly thermally insulated, unpressurised
solar stratified tank (with possibility to connect to a DAIKIN
air/water heating pump).
– Daikin Altherma integrated solar unit: Solar stratified tank with
integrated indoor unit of an air/water heating pump.
Design, functionality, start-up and operation of the storage tanks and other Solar components not mentioned in
chap. 3.3 are not described in these instructions.
Detailed information on these components can be found
in the associated operating and installation instructions.
The handling instructions and descriptions mentioned in these
instructions basically apply to all DAIKIN storage tanks that can
be used in this solar system, even if only one type is described
for illustrative purposes. If there are variances to other storage
tanks, special reference is made.
Electronic control
The fully electronic DAIKIN Solar R4 control unit ensures optimum utilisation of the solar heat (hot water heating, heating
support) and the observance of all safety-relevant aspects. All
parameters needed for trouble-free operation have been preset
at the factory.
