INSTALLATION – SYSTEM
THIS WATER HEATER IS NOT SUITABLE FOR POOL HEATING.
SOLAR COLLECTORS
The system is suitable for installation with Solahart L, LCS or CSA2007 solar collectors.
In Australia, systems with L solar collectors are
suitable for installation in all climate zones.
Collectors installed at an orientation greater than 60°
from the equator may require an additional collector
to ensure adequate solar performance.
In Australia for climate zones 1, 2, and 3 there is a
risk that systems with selective surface LCS or
CSA2007 solar collectors may over perform. In these
zones, systems with 2 or more LCS or CSA2007
solar collectors should be installed at orientations
between 60° and 90° from true north only.
In climate zone 4, systems with selective surface
LCS or CSA2007 solar collectors provide optimum
performance compared with non-selective surface
collectors, particularly in the months of lower solar
radiation.
IMPORTANT NOTES
•
Working on roofs is and should always be considered a hazardous activity, particularly early in the
morning, late in the evening, when the roof is wet or during and after periods of rain.
•
All work must be carried out in accordance with Local, State and Federal Occupational Safety, Health and
Welfare Regulations. In particular, the requirements for safety whilst manual lifting, working at heights and
on roofs.
•
Installers must be competently trained in:
◼
Height Hazard Assessment
◼
Working at Height Procedures
◼
Assessment / Use / Wearing of correct height safety equipment (harnesses etc.)
◼
All other relevant safety factors specific to the installation and maintenance work to be compliant with
suitable Occupational, Health and Safety Regulations / Codes.
•
All relevant permits shall be obtained from the regulatory authorities before commencing work to install
the solar hot water system.
•
All work carried out must be performed by appropriately qualified tradespeople or be suitably supervised
for trades assistant duties.
•
Every care must be taken to protect and warn occupants of the building and the public from personal injury
which may occur from falling tools, roof materials, fittings or any other hazards of a general nature.
•

electrical supplies.
•
The connection, attachment, integration or general association of other equipment or parts which either
directly or indirectly affect the operation or performance of this equipment could void the Solahart warranty.
