Figure 1: Safety information
The manufacturer hereby guarantees to take back
products identif ied with an eco-label and to recycle
the materials used. Only the heat transfer medi um
specifi ed may be used!
Wear a helmet when carrying out installation
work!
Wear protective goggles whe n drilli ng and
handling coll ectors!
Wear cut-proof safety gloves when mounting
collectors!
Wear safety shoes when carrying out install ation
work!
1 m ................voltages up to 1000V
2 m ................voltages from 1000V to 11000V
3 m ................voltages from 11000V to 22000V
4 m ................voltages from 22000V to 38000V
> 5 m in case of unknown voltages
Whenever you are near live overhead el ectric cables
where contact is possible, only work if:
- it is ensured that they are voltage-free and this
is secured for the duration of work.
- the live parts are secured by covering them or
cordoning them off.
- the prescribed safe ty distances are maintained.
Voltage radius:
If non-personal fall protection or fall-arrest systems
are not provided, working without the use of
suitable safety harnesses may lead to falls from
heights and therefore cause serious or lethal
injuries!
Only lean ladders against secure points. Secure
ladders in traffi c areas by suitable cordoning.
Ladders not properly secured against sinki ng in,
slidi ng or falling over may lead to dangerous falls!
Contact with live electric overhead cables can be
lethal.
If non-personal fall protection or fall-arrest systems
cannot be installe d for technical reasons, all
personnel must be secured by means of suitable
safety harnesse s!
Never use damaged ladders (e.g., wooden ladders
with spli t runners or rungs, or bent or buckled
metal ladders). Never try to repair broken runners,
rungs or steps on wooden ladders!
Only use safe ty harnesses (safe ty belts, lanyards and
straps, shock absorbers, fall arresters) that were
tested and certifi ed by authorized testing bodies.
Ensure that ladders are put up safely. Observe the
correct leaning angle (68° - 75°). Prevent ladders
from slidi ng, falli ng over or sinking into the ground
(e.g. usi ng wider fee t, feet suited to the ground or
hooking devices).
Safety precautions: Bef ore commencing mounting
work on roofs, it must be ensured in all cases that the
non- personal fal l protection and fall-arrest systems
required by DIN 18338 (Roof Covering and Roof
Sealing Works) and DIN 18451 (Scaffolding Works) are
in place. See also Builders‘ Protection Ordinance
[Bauarbeiterschutzve rordnung], Federal Law Gazette
340/ 1994, paragraphs 7-10! Other country-specific
regulations must be observed!
Safety harnesses should be fixed above the use rs
whenever possible. Safety harnesses should only
be fastene d to sufficiently load-be aring structures
or fixing points!

1.4 Risk assessment
The compilation of a risk assessment is strongly recommended before installing the
product. The following areas require particular consideration in addition to the information required by the Health and Safety at Work Act.
- scalding: where appropriate or required by law a thermostatic mixing valve is to be
fitted to the hot water outlet of the cylinder
- explosion: the unit is fully equipped with all relevant safety equipment to comply with
current regulations. The correct design and function has been verified by independent
third party testing. The correct application thereof is the responsibility of the competent installer.
- water borne organisms (i.e. Legionella): if applicable a risk assessment should be
carried out following the recommendations outlined in the Approved Code of Practice
L8.
- the user preference must be considered when commissioning the system, in particular
when adjusting the solar and auxiliary system temperature and timer settings.
1.5 Tools required
It is recommended that the below list of tools be used when installing the integrated
roof kit.
- 2 people required for installation
- Measuring tape
- Hammer
- Drill
- Adjustable pliers
- Angle grinder with stone disc
- TX 25 x 25mm torque bit
- Spirit level
- Plumb line
- Additional wood (as required)
- Pop-rivet gun
In addition to the above tools it may be required to wear suitable safety gloves upon
installation as the kit consists of sheet metal which may cause cuts if care is not taken
during handling of the product.
1.6 Earthing and Lightning Protection
If a lightning arrester is available, the collector frame should be connected to it. This
may be performed using the collector frame, because the slot for mounting on the reverse side of the collector is ideally suited for fixing a thick cable. If no arrester is available, the potential equalization is carried out using a connection of a cable at the
pipe(s) which are led into the building. Please consult local regulations to ensure adherence.
1.7 Pipe Work
The pipe work from the collector to the pump unit and from the pump unit to the cylinder is to be all metal. The joints have to be high temperature resistant (compression or
high temperature flat seal). For more information please see Technical Manual.

The connections of a mounted solar collector/collector array may become excessively
hot so care must be taken to avoid burns when working around collectors that are exposed to the rays of the sun.

3 Product features and descriptions
The Dimplex Tile Integrated Roof kit offers a unique solution for mounting solar thermal
collectors to the roof of a building. The concept of the product is to make the installation of the collectors a quick and simple process.
The Tile Integrated Roof Kit can cater for 2m² up to 8m² of collector area and comes in
four variations, 2m² kit, 4m² kit, 6m² kit and 8m² kit.
The product consists of various aluminium flashings and fixings that seal the collector
against the roof covering in an aesthetically pleasing way. The collector is an integral
part of the assembly and forms part of the weather tightness of the roof.
4 Collector connections
Due to its four connections, the collector offers a wide choice of connection options.
Ensure that no part of the collector array or collector in the array is short circuited by
following these instructions.
When planning the collector array, the position of the various connection parts must be
in accordance with the diagrams, also pay attention to the position of the highlighted
sensor pocket.
Table 6 illustrates the components required to make all the collector connections.
Table 6: Collector connection components
4.1 Single collector portrait connection
When installing a single collector installation, there is one connection option available.
The sensor must always be installed at the top of the collector and on the connection
where the heat transfer fluid leaves the collector.
Figure 2 illustrates the left hand side connection option that is applicable only to a single portrait collector connection.

4.2 Multiple collector portrait connection
When installing multiple collectors, (2 up to 4), component P03 is used to connect one
collector to the next.

The sensor must always be installed at the top of the collector on the connection flow of
the system.
