Start up operations must be done by allowed sta

  after the complete reading of 

the present use and maintenance booklet.
All the electrical connections must be done by specialized operators.
Ensure that water 

fl

Start-up.

For SFERASOL

TM

 start-up follow the indications below:

• Set the thermostat of the control board at 3 °C
• Give power tension to the board. 
• Open inlet cold water valve. 

Note: circulator rotation speed is set by Manufacturer at first speed  (950 

RPM); such setting must not be change.

orking principles.

A soon as a temperature di

 erence between thermal liquid and storage tank wa-

ter, the control board activates circulating pump, which moves thermal liquid  until 
same storage tank temperature is reached with minimum power consumption. 
Thermal re-balancing is then obtained. 
The whole system can be switched o

  through the apposite switch 

fi

 tted by the 

installer.

I

nstructions after installation.   

Maximum e

  ciency of SFERASOL

TM

 panel is reached after half day full sunshine from 

installation. For this reason, we suggest to avoid warm water consumption during the 

fi

 rst two days after installation, even if sunlight  exposure  conditions are optimum.
