3.1 Intended use
The Valliant solar system has been constructed using
state-of-the-art technology in accordance with recognis-
ed safety regulations.
However, if the system is not used correctly, or as inten-
ded, this could physically endanger or result in the death
of the user or third parties, or damage the unit and
other property.
These components of the Vaillant solar system are not
intended to be used by persons (including children) with
limited physical, sensory or mental capabilities or insuffi-
cient experience and/or knowledge, unless they are su-
pervised by a person who is responsible for their safety
or have been instructed by this person on how to use
the unit.
Children must be supervised to ensure they do not play
with the unit.
The purpose of the Vaillant solar system is to provide a
solar-supported hot water supply.
Any other use or extended use is considered to be im-
proper. The manufacturer/supplier is not liable for any
resulting damage. The user alone bears the risk.
Intended use also includes observance of the operating
and installation instructions as well as all other applica-
ble documents, and also compliance with the inspection
and maintenance requirements.
a Caution!
Improper use of any kind is prohibited!
You will find a start-up report at the end of this manual.
This should be filled in by the installer and/or start-up
engineer and handed over to the operator.
All CORGI-approved installers have a CORGI ID card and
a registration number. Both of them should be entered
on the start-up checklist. You can check the details of
your installer at CORGI under the telephone number
+49 (0)1256 372300.
3.2 Design and function of the solar system
The solar system consists of four main components:
– The collectors, which absorb the solar radiation and
utilise it (refer to Section 4.1, Collectors).
– The solar control, which monitors, displays and
controls all functions of the system (refer to Section
4.8, Solar control).
– The solar pump unit, which transports the solar heat
(refer to Section 4.2, Solar pump unit).
– The solar cylinder (refer to Section 5.1, Installation of
the solar cylinder).
On days on which the solar radiation is insufficient to
heat the drinking water in the cylinder, the stored water
must be reheated by a heating system. This can be done
with boilers or electrically with an immersion heater.
