GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION AND PRECAUTIONS

b

As soon as you open the packaging, check imme­diately that the contents are all present and undam­aged. Contact the reseller from whom you pur­chased the solar collector if you notice any prob­lems.

b

This solar collector must be used only for the proper
purpose for which it is designed and made. The
manufacturer declines all responsibility, contractual
or other, for damage to property or injury to persons
or animals caused by improper installation, adjust­ment, maintenance or use.

b

The solar collector must be serviced every two
years.

b

Work near uncovered and live electrical wires, with
which it is possible to come into contact, is only
permitted under the following conditions:

- Wires must be free from voltage for the entire dura­tion of the work.

- Parts remaining live must be covered or accidental
contact prevented.

- The following minimum safety distances must be
respected:

1 m for voltages of up to 1000 Volts
3 m for voltages from 1000 to 11000 Volts
4 m for voltages from 11000 to 22000 Volts
5 m for voltages from 22000 to 38000 Volts
over 5 m if the voltage is not known.
Contact with open, live electrical wires may lead to

electrocution and may even be fatal.

b

Always wear safety goggles when drilling. Always
wear safety shoes, cut-proof protective gloves and
a safety helmet when performing installation work.

b

Before beginning installation work on roofs, install
the necessary fall prevention and fall arrest devices
and ensure that all applicable safety standards are
applied.

Use only tools and materials that conform to the

safety standards that are applicable in the place of
work.

b

Only wear overalls that have a safety harness (with a
suitable safety or fall-arrest belt, ropes or slings, fall
dampers or dissipaters). In the absence of adequate
fall prevention and security devices, failure to use a
proper safety harness may lead to falls from great
heights with serious or even fatal consequences.

b

The use of ladders leaned against walls can lead to
serious falls if the ladder slips, slides of falls. When
using ladders, always ensure that they are stable,
and that suitable ladder stops are present. If pos­sible secure the ladder with hooks. Make sure that
there are no live electrical wires near the ladder.

b

Especially when installing the solar collector as part
of a domestic hot water system, follow the orienta­tion and angle of the roof to ensure that the collector
blends in with the architecture of the building.

b

This instruction manual is an integral part of the solar
collector. It must be kept safe and must ALWAYS
accompany the solar collector, even if it is sold
to another owner or transferred to another user or
to another installation. If you damage or lose this
manual, order a replacement immediately from your
local Technical Assistance Centre.
