About these instructions

Please ensure that these instructions are read and understood before commencing installation. Failure to comply

 with the 

instructions listed below and details printed in this manual can cause 

product/property damage, severe personal injury

and/or 

loss of life

. Ensure all requirements below are understood and fulfilled (including detailed information found in 

manual subsections).

General Information 

The installation, service, and 
maintenance of this equipment 

must be

 performed by a licensed 

professional heating contractor.

Please see section

entitled “Important
Regulatory and
Installation
Requirements" in the 
Installation Instructions.

Read all applicable documentation

 

before commencing installation. 
Store documentation in a readily 
accessible location for reference in 
the future by service personnel.

These instructions 

describe the function, 
installation, startup 
and operation of the 
Solar-Divicon-HX heat 
transfer stations. For other 
components of the solar system 
such as collectors, storage tanks, 
expansion tanks and controllers, 
please observe the instructions 
supplied with those components.

Vitosol solar collectors and pumping 
stations are designed for use in 
closed loop heating systems for 
domestic hot water heating, space 
heating and pool heating via a heat 
exchanger. The use of Viessmann 
heat transfer medium “Tyfocor-
HTL” is strongly recommended.
Other heat transfer fluids may be 
suitable if they have the same 
temperature range -35°F to 170°F 
(-31°C to 77°C) and are non-toxic.

Information contained in
this and related product
documentation must be
read and followed. 

Failure to do so may 
render the warranty 
null and void.

Advice to owner

  Once the installation work is  

 

  complete, the heating contractor 
  must familiarize the system
   operator/ultimate owner with all
  equipment, as well as safety
   precautions/requirements,  

 

  shut-down procedure, and the need
   for professional service annually  
  before the heating season begins.

WARNING

Indicates an imminently hazardous 
situation which, if not avoided, 
could result in death, serious injury 
or substantial product/property 
damage.

CAUTION

Indicates an imminently hazardous 
situation which, if not avoided, may 
result in minor injury or product/
property damage.

Solar-Divicon-HX may only be used 
as a heat transfer station between 
the solar collector loop and storage 
tank loop in closed loop solar thermal 
systems taking into consideration 
the technical limit values indicated in 
these instructions. Improper usage 
excludes any liability claims.
