Inserting Probe Into The Panel
Inside the controller box you
will find 3 probes as shown
here.
Take the black probe from
the box and insert this black
probe into the sensor pocket
located on the left hand side
of the far left panel.
This side is now the hot side
of the solar system.
If you choose to use solar pipe either in full lengths or as tails the connections must be made to the
panels prior to fitting the flashing kit.
The panels are terminated in 3/4” BSP flat face male nipple as supplied as part of the kit. Following
the diagram below single fitting should be tightened to the flat face of the elbow connected to the
panel.

Connecting Panels Together
The Acapella collector has a ¾” flat face male
thread on one side and a swivel nut ¾” female
on the other side. This means that each panel
connects directly to the panel beside it. A fibre
washer must be inserted between the flat face
of the male thread and the internal of the female
swivel nut.
