4.0 MAINTENANCE
Servicing should only be carried out by competent installers and any spare parts used must be purchased from Kingspan
Solar. NEVER bypass any safety devices or operate the unit without them being fully operational.
The KINGSPAN TRIBUNE is fitted with a ½” NPT drain fitting at the base of the tank. An appropriate draining faucet should be
installed that can not be accidentally opened.
Isolate from the electrical supply to prevent the immersion heaters burning out. Isolate the unit from the cold mains.
WARNING: WATER DRAINED OFF MAY BE VERY HOT!
4.1 DRAINING
TRIBUNE HE requires an annual service in order to ensure safe working and optimum performance. It is essential that the
following checks are performed by a competent installer on an annual basis. Commonly this is done at the same time as the
annual boiler or solar system service.
1) Lift the lever on the expansion relief valve on the inlet control set and allow water to flow for 5 seconds. Release and make
sure it resets correctly. Repeat with the pressure / temperature relief valve. In both cases check that the discharge pipe
work is carrying the water away adequately. If not, check for blockages etc. and clear.
WARNING: THE WATER DISCHARGED MAY BE VERY HOT!
2) Check that any immersion heaters fitted are working correctly and that they are controlling the water at a temperature
between 60˚F no more than 185˚F
3) Check the pressure in the expansion tank is charged to 44psi. Turn off the water supply to the unit and open a hot
faucet first. The air valve on expansion tank is a Schrader (car tire) type. Air or CO2 may be used to charge the expansion
tank.
4) If fitted, Unscrew the head on the inlet control set and clean the mesh filter within.
YOUR WARRANTY MAY BE VOID WITHOUT PROOF OF ANNUAL SERVICING
