Function and features
3.1
Generalities
To improve the quality of hot water distribution in water
heaters and boilers, while making them compatible with
thermal, solar-powered systems for heating household water.
Its function involves maintaining a constant setting for the
temperature of the mixed water that is provided for use, when
conditions for supplying hot and cold water vary.
The Solar Kit can operate continuously, with hot water
temperatures resulting from solar accumulation or from the
support device.
Advantages
•
Prevents hot water burns and damage to devices;
•
Use of the solar kit does not require the purchase of a
separate solar water heater;
•
The support appliance works only if the solar system's
water temperature is lower than 45 °C, without reducing
the flow rate;
•
Savings in maintenance costs (the appliance has a shorter
running time)

in the present manual, taking into account the applicable
standards in effect.
It is mandatory to connect the equipment to
an entry point for cold water.
4.1
Location
▶ Assemble the Solar Kit close to the appliance supporting
the thermal solar system.
▶ Do not install outdoors.
No freezing is to occur at the installation site.
If there is a risk of freezing
▶ Shut off and empty the solar kit and the water heater
associated with it.
After a period when freezing occurs, if the appliance is turned
on once again without having been previously emptied, check
to make sure that hot water can be drawn. Should you have
problems, please contact an accredited technician.
