Safety instructions

Please follow these safety instructions closely to prevent accidents and

material losses.

Safety regulations

Installation, initial start−up, inspection,

maintenance and repairs must only

be carried out by a competent person

(heating engineer/installation

contractor).

Observe all current safety regulations

as defined by DIN, EN, DVGW and

VDE or locally applicable standards.

See also the safety instructions sheet

in the Vitotec technical documentation

folder.

Before working on the equipment/

heating system/solar heating system,

isolate its mains electrical supply

(e.g. by removing a separate mains

fuse or by means of a mains

electrical isolator) and safeguard

against unauthorised reconnection.

Observe maximum load and distance

from roof edge for the substructure

installed on the roof to DIN�1�055.

Earthing/lightning protection of the

solar heating system

Install an electrical conductor on the

pipework system of the solar circuit

in the lower part of the building to

comply with VDE or local

regulations.

Connection of the collector system to

a new or existing lightning protection

facility or the provision of local

earthing should only be carried out

by authorised personnel, who must

take into account the conditions

applicable on site.

¨�Safety instruction

Denotes information which must be

observed to prevent accidents and

material losses.

When assembling the locking ring

fitting, observe the following:

� All pipe ends must be square and

deburred.

� Push the union nut and the locking

ring onto the pipe and lightly

lubricate the threads with oil.

� Push the pipe into the compression

fitting as far as it will go.

� Initially turn the union nut by hand,

then tighten with an open ended

spanner by a further ¾ turn.

Do not use annealed copper pipes

with compression fittings.

1. Insert the plug or plug with air

vent valve until they bottom out.

Please note

Use the plug with air vent valve,

if the water connections from

the collector array are routed

downwards.

2. Insert the connecting pipes until

they bottom out.

Only rotate the vacuum tubes with locking ring released. Otherwise there is a

risk of breakage.

1. Open the connection housing and

remove the thermal insulation

mat.

2. Remove the protective cap from

the vacuum tubes.

3. Click the vacuum tubes into the

tube holders on the mounting rails

until they bottom out inside the

coupling. Ensure no part of the

thermal insulation is pinched in

the process.

4. For roofs with deviations from due

south:

Adjust the angle of inclination of

the vacuum tube absorber using

the template supplied by turning

the tubes around their own axis

(coated side of the absorber

oriented towards the sun).

5. Initially tighten the locking ring

fitting by hand. For this, hold the

soldered hexagon nut with an

open ended spanner�SW�17. Then

tighten the locking ring fitting by

1½ turns.

6. Secure the vacuum tubes with the

retaining rubber.

7. Fit the collector temperature

sensor in the connection housing

position that is furthest west.

Insert the sensor into the holder

until it bottoms out. Route the

sensor lead in the recess of the

thermal insulation and secure with

adhesive tape.

8. Secure the sensor with PG thread

onto the casing.

9. Carefully position the thermal

insulation mat and close the

connection housing.

Installation


Use only gunmetal and brass fittings and copper pipes for the installation.

Never use galvanized pipes, galvanized fittings or graphitised gaskets. Use

hemp only in conjunction with pressure and temperature resistant sealants

(e.g. Viscotex�Solarpaste, Locher, CH�9450�Altstätten).

Never step onto solar panels. Never solder near or on the collector.

Installation (cont.)

1. Route pipes so that they can be

completely vented. Install at least

one air vent valve at the highest

point of the system. Install an air

separator at an accessible point in

the pipework (see fig. on page�50).

2. Equip the system to EN�12�975

with expansion vessel, safety

valve and circulation pump.

3. The expansion vessel must be

approved to DIN�4807, and must

be arranged with a heat insulating

loop.

The diaphragms and seals of the

expansion vessel and the safety

valve must be suitable for the

process medium.

For the calculation of the

inlet pressure, see the

service instructions.

4. When operating without

Solar−Divicon, use only safety

valves designed for a max. of

120�ºC and 6�bar bearing the

marking "S" (solar) as part of the

component identification.

5. Make all unions pressure and

temperature resistant (observe

the max. standby temperature of

the solar panel).

For commissioning of

the solar heating system,

see service instructions.
