 Start-up and decommissioning

Ɣ

Open the KFE hose on the 

KFE filling connection

(

KFE BA, 16 52 15

).

Ɣ

Adjust the valve insert on the connecting angle so that the
flow to the drain hose is opened (also refer to fig. 5-2) and
drain the water content of the storage tank.

5.2.2 Final shutdown

Ɣ

Take the ROTEX solar system out of service
(see section 5.2.1 "Temporary shutdown").

Ɣ

Disconnect the RPS4 control and pump unit from all electrical 
and water connections.

Ɣ

Dismantle the RPS4 control and pump unit in accordance
with the assembly instructions (section 4 "Peak output") in
reverse order.

Ɣ

Dispose of the RPS4 control and pump unit correctly.

Recommendations for disposal

Ɣ

Insert the 

KFE filling

connection

 (

KFE BA,

16 52 15

)

 

into the 

connecting angle and
secure using a retaining
clip (fig. 5-3).

ing connection in the 
connecting angle

Thanks to the environmentally friendly design of the 
solar system, ROTEX has complied with requirements 
for environmentally sound disposal. During the disposal 
process, the only waste created is that which can be 

used for material or thermal recycling.
The materials used that are suitable for recycling can be sorted 
into individual types.

The designation of the product means that electrical 
and electronic products may not be disposed of to-
gether with unsorted domestic waste.

Proper disposal in compliance with the respective na-
tional regulations of the country of use is the responsi-
bility of the user/owner.

Ɣ

Disassembly of the system, handling of coolant, oil and
other parts may only be carried out by a qualified fitter.

Ɣ

Disposal may only be carried out by an organization that
specialises in reuse, recycling and recovery.

Further information is available from the installation company 
or the responsible local authorities.
