1.3 Danger prevention
ROTEX Solaris systems conform to the state-of-the-art and meet all recognised technical requirements. However, improper use
may result in serious physical injuries or death, as well as property damage. To avoid danger, ROTEX Solaris systems should only
be installed and operated:
– as stipulated and in perfect conditions,
– with an awareness of safety and dangers.
This assumes knowledge and use of the contents of this manual, the relevant accident prevention regulations as well as the
recognised safety-related and occupational medical rules.
1.4 Intendet use
The ROTEX Solaris flat roof trestle may be used exclusively for the support of solar collectors. The ROTEX Solaris flat roof trestle
may only be mounted and assembled according to specifications in this manual.
Any other use outside the above-mentioned use is considered as improper. The owner will be responsible for any resulting damage.
Proper use also includes the observance of maintenance and inspection conditions. Spare parts must, at least, satisfy the
technical requirements defined by the manufacturer. This is the case, for example, with original spare parts.
1.5 Instructions on industrial and operating safety
1.5.1 Employment protection
• Assembly works on the roof must be done by authorised and trained specialists (heating engineer, roofer, ...) in consideration
of applicable accident prevention regulations for roof works.
• Installation materials and tool must be secured properly against falling down.
• The traffic area below the roof area must be secured against trespassing.
1.5.2 Membrane protection
• An appropriate support between the membrane and the installation face of the flat roof trestle should be mounted on-site
(base rails, cross-struts).
1.6 Instruction for failure-free operation of the ROTEX Solaris system
• In an equilateral connection, level the bottom edge of collectors horizontally and never connect more than 3 collectors.
• In alternating connection, level the collector field with gaps to the lower collector connection (return).
• Always run the connection cable between collectors and the storage with continuous gap to avoid a siphon effect
(two-way gap) via the whole connection passage.
• The top edge of collectors may not be more than 12 m above the storage installation level.
