Safety regulations
Carefully read the safety instructions before commencing the installation. It’s for your own safety.
Please follow the structural instructions if the installation location of the solar system is above 600m sea
level and possibly exposed to large amounts of snow (higher than zone 4).
The protections of the manifolds have to be removed before the solar collectors are exposed to the sun
and heat themselves.
Working on the roof
Appropriate safety measures have to be arranged. The following aspects have to be respected to
achieve a secure installation of the solar system:
• always use fall protection while working on a roof
• respect safety regulations when using a ladder
• while working on roof coverings with corrugated sheets the risk of breaking through exists
• secure workplaces on steep roofs
• safety clearances have to be met if an aerial pipeline leads across the roof
• always wear safety goggles and gloves while working with an angle grinder
• Flat plate collectors can achieve a stationary temperature of over 200°C due to incident light. The risk
of burns exists at the connections of flow and return. Always cover the collectors on sunny days during
the installation
• Even regular daylight might cause the fluid in the collector to vaporise. The vapour leaks from the col-
lector connections. Possible risk of scalding.
Familiarise yourself with the general regulations of accident prevention for construction work of your pro-
fessional association or let yourself be instructed by an appropriate person.
Attention: glass
• Don’t extent mechanical pressure on the glass covering. glass splinters might evoke cuts.
• Wear safety goggles and gloves while installing the solar system to avoid injuries due to possible
damages..
Caution:
The solar system has to be filled with a mixture of water and antifreeze before its initiation.
This is also necessary in summer. During the night a temperature fluctuation to minus degrees
might arise due to the high-quality selective coating of the collector and that might lead to a
destruction of the solar system!
