INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION

1. Transport and install all components carefully. The Vacuum tubes 

are strong and can cope with hail, but they are also fragile glass and will 

break if dropped.

2. The NS-200WB/NS-300WB needs to be installed in a place with as 

much sunlight as possible to produce maximum hot water.

Shady places will produce hot water, however not as effective as direct 

sunlight.

A three metre free of obstructions radius is highly recommended.

Ambient temperature does not have a significant effect on infra-red ab-

sorbance.

It is important that the unit is attched to a strong structure like roof 

joists, structural timber or steel beams.

3. Make sure all vents are not obstructed. As this is not a pressurised 

tank it is important the exhaust is allowed to breathe. If blocked, the tank 

will expand and contract with the heat produced by the water and dam-

age is inevitable.

4. Attach the stand to the roof with coach screws or bolts (please refer to 

your local authority or Registered builder for Regulation requirements) 

After attaching the stand to its permanent solid structure, place the main 

tank on the stand making sure the bolts on the tank are aligned into the 

slots on the stand (you will need to remove the nuts on the holding bolts 

before placing it on the stand). The holding bolts have 10mm adjustment 

allowance to make it easier to align. Put the nuts back on the bolts, but 

do not tighten them.

5. Place the dust seals about 20cm down the tubes, use dishwashing liq-

uid to lubricate the tube first.

Place the tubes into the tank using dishwashing liquid to lubricate the
