PACKAGING
The solar collectors are supplied assembled and accompanied
by the ordered assembly kit (inclined or raised roof).
After removing the appliance from the packaging, make sure that
the supply is complete and undamaged.
The packaging elements (cardboard box, straps, plastic bags,
pallets etc.)
must not be left within the reach of children as
they are potential sources of danger.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility in the event of
damage caused to persons, animals or things arising as a result
of failure to comply with the above.
In addition to the appliance, the packaging also includes:
- Instruction booklet for the installer and maintenance technician
- Guarantee
PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS
Before installation, keep the collector away from possible sources
of damage, therefore accidental bumps and falls.
ATTENTION:
Before installing, never leave the collector upside
down to avoid possible damage caused by water infiltration
in case of rain; Before filling the circuit, never leave the solar
collector empty exposed directly to solar radiation; it is advisable
to cover the collector.
ATTENTION:
Before connecting the panel to the system,
carefully clean the pipes with a suitable product, in order to
eliminate metal residues from processing and welding, oil and
grease that may be present and which, reaching the boiler, could
alter its operation.
Do not use solvents to wash the system, as their use could
damage the system and / or its components.
Failure to follow the instructions in this manual can cause damage
to people, animals and things, for which the manufacturer cannot
be held responsible. Before filling the solar circuit, provide a
pressure reducer if the network pressure exceeds 6 bar.
POSITIONING
When choosing the place to install the appliance, follow the
following safety instructions:
- Place the appliance in places where it is possible to prevent
access by children as a potential source of danger to their
safety.
- Make sure that the fixing is carried out as illustrated in this
manual.
- Make sure there are no high temperature parts that they can
come into contact with people, animals or objects sensitive to
high temperatures. The solar collector must be positioned in a
place where the breakage of any of the elements supplied
cannot cause any damage to people or things.
WARNING!
Respect the correct direction of installation;
ORIENTATION
Position the solar collectors so that the capturing surface is
exposed to the south or in any case in the east-south-west
quadrant, avoiding shaded areas.
DO NOT place panels facing north. Exposure affects
the performance of the collectors. Maximum orientation
recommended = 30° South / East - 30° South / West
INCLINATION
When choosing the inclination of the collector (when not required
due to an inclined roof installation) take into account: the variation
in the inclination of the sun’s rays during the year;
the place of installation; the type of plant; it is recommended to
use the inclination suggested in the table shown below.
