INSTALLATION – SOLAR CONTROL UNIT
Single Element Model Solar Storage Tanks: The solar control unit is designed to be mounted on the side of
the solar storage tank, with its location above and offset from the solar cold water outlet. The solar control
unit and components to enable the connection of the solar circuit pipe work to the tank are supplied in a kit
(299280) separate to the tank.
The solar control unit, supplied with a 1.8 metre power cord, requires a 240 V 50 Hz general purpose outlet
(GPO) located within 1.2 metres of its installation. The GPO must have a continuous power supply
originating from a circuit other than the water heater circuit. The GPO is required to be weatherproof if
installed outdoors (refer to
“Connections – Electrical”
on page 43).

Notes:

For single element model tanks, care must be taken when mounting the solar control unit to the side of
the solar storage tank. If the cylinder is damaged as a result of mounting the solar control unit to the
jacket, any resultant faults will not be covered by the Solahart warranty (refer to
“Saddling - Pipe Work”
on page 29).

All pipe work must be purged and cleared of foreign matter before connection and before attempting to
operate the water heater.

It is important not to cross connect the solar cold and solar hot pipes to the incorrect connections.

Connect the solar pipes to the solar storage tank using only the fittings supplied.

All olive compression fittings must use brass or copper olives.

Use thread sealing tape or an approved thread sealant on all other fittings.
