Lightning Protection

As per the stipulations of Lightning Protection Standard EN 62305 Parts 1-4, the system must not be connected to the building's
lightning protection. Beyond the scope of validity of this standard, country-specifi c requirements must be observed.
A safety gap of at least 1 metre from any adjacent conductive object must be maintained. In the case of installations on top
of existing metal substructures, an authorised and qualifi ed electrician must generally be consulted. To enable equipotential
bonding of the building, the metallic conductor pipes of the solar/water circuit and all of the system housing/fi xtures must be
connected to the main equipotential busbar by an authorised and qualifi ed electrician in accordance with EN 60364 and/or
country-specifi c requirements.
General Important System Information
The system is a two-circuit system. The system forms a closed circuit (process water circuit) with the heat exchanger of the stor-
age tank. This circuit is completely separate from the solar circuit (storage tank). The system offers appropriate performance only
when installed in frost-free areas. If the temperature falls below 32 °F for more than 18 consecutive hours or 23 °F for more than
6 consecutive hours, the system must be drained.
In this system, an electric immersion heater can be installed into the solar water circuit. The system
SYSTEM-E
storage tank is already prepared for its installation as standard. An appropriate electric immersion
heater is available as a retrofi t kit in the optional scope of supply of the product. The hot and cold
water lines in the process water circuit are not protected from freezing by the electric immersion heat-
er. When installing, appropriate insulation and trace heating for the pipes must be provided.
The frost tolerance limits are based upon an assumed set of environmental conditions. Extended periods of cold weather,
including ambient air temperatures below the specifi ed limit, may cause freezing in exposed parts of the system. It is the own-
er's responsibility to protect the system in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions if the air temperature is anticipated to
approach the specifi ed frost tolerance limits.
Protect all water pipes from freezing. If the system is not completely drained, the warranty will become void.
After initial commissioning and in seasons with strong outside temperature fl uctuations, condensation may form in the system.
However, this condensation disappears after a few hours of sunlight.
A thermal mixer, where the required water temperature can be set, must always be installed at
the hot water outlet as scald protection. The safety over-pressure valve provided must be
installed on the cold water connection to the system in order to limit overpressure in the water
circuit.
System Alignment
For the installation of the system, a suitable place without shading (e.g., trees, buildings) is required throughout the year. The opti-
mum function of the system will be obtained if the system is installed pointing south in the northern hemisphere as far as possible
and pointing north in the southern hemisphere as far as possible. Mounting vertically to the fi rst is prohibited, the system must be
mounted in the horizontal orientation, please note the appropriate installation instructions (see Page 48).
System Inclination
The system is suitable for an inclination of at least 5° to a maximum of 45° and may only be mounted horizontally (+/-5°). Other
installation angles as cited are not permitted, as this will cause irreparable damage to the solar storage tank.
System Pressures
The maximum operating pressure in the cold water supply must always be limited to 145 psi; if necessary, a corresponding /
suitable pressure reducer must be installed. The solar storage tank of the system must be kept depressurised; one of the two
fi lling openings above (see sketch) must not be closed as this will cause irreparable damage to the solar storage tank.
The maximum operating overpressures specifi ed on the storage tank identifi cation plate must never be exceeded. The safety
valve provided must always be installed in the relevant connection on the storage tank to limit the overpressure in the process
water circuit (see sketch).
