WARNING
This water heater is only intended to be operated by persons who have the experience or the knowledge and
the capabilities to do so. This water heater is not intended to be operated by persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities i.e. the infirm, or by children. Children should be supervised to ensure they do
not interfere with the water heater.
This water heater uses 240 V AC electrical power for operation of the control systems and the electrically
operated components. The removal of the front cover or solar control unit cover will expose 240 V wiring. It
must only be removed by a qualified person.
The power lead from the solar controller must be plugged into a weatherproof electrical outlet if installed
outdoors. Take care not to touch the power plug with wet hands.
Care should be taken not to touch any exposed pipe work or fittings connecting the solar storage tank and
the solar collectors, as this may result in a burn injury. Very high temperature hot water and in some
circumstances high temperature steam can be generated by the solar collectors under certain conditions and
flow through the pipe work from the solar collectors to the solar storage tank.
Note:
Any exposed pipe work or fittings in the solar circuit should be attended to and covered with insulation.
Phone your nearest Solahart Dealer to arrange for an inspection.
SAFETY
This water heater is supplied with a thermostat, an over-temperature energy cut-out, temperature sensors
and a combination temperature pressure relief valve. These devices must not be tampered with or removed.
The water heater must not be operated unless each of these devices is fitted and is in working order.
The operation of the over-temperature cut-out on the thermostat indicates a possibly dangerous situation. If
the over-temperature cut-out operates, it must not be reset and the water heater must be serviced by a
qualified person.
If the power supply cord or plug to the solar control unit or the electrical conduit to the solar storage tank is
damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. The power supply cord and
plug must be replaced with a genuine replacement part available from Solahart. Phone your nearest Solahart
Dealer to arrange for an inspection.
Warning:
For continued safety of this water heater it must be installed, operated and maintained in
accordance with the Owner‟s Guide and Installation Instructions.
The Solahart warranty may not cover faults if relief valves or other safety devices are tampered with
or if the installation is not in accordance with these instructions.
BOOSTER CONTROL
An isolating switch is installed in the electrical meter box for the solar storage tank. This should be left
switched on to allow the booster heating unit to operate if required. The booster heating unit is for heating
the water at times of low solar energy gain, such as during very cloudy or rainy weather, or during the colder
months.
The booster heating unit will only activate if heating is required and power is available from the switchboard.
When the water is below the thermostat setting, the booster heating unit will turn on and heat the water. The
booster heating unit will automatically turn off when the temperature of the water reaches the thermostat
setting.
Leaving the isolating switch switched on will also provide a sufficient period of time each day for the booster
heating unit to operate, if required, to satisfy the requirements of AS 3498.
