Mounting (Fig. 1)
-- Remove front insulation cover (5).
- The solar station (1) forms a unit with the wall bracket and the rear
insulation cover, and is to be fastened from the front side, in the
prescribed position, with wall plugs and screws (2) suitable for the
subsurface.
- Connect the safety assembly (3) (supplied separately with the module)
to the outlet of the return flow fitting (4) above the pump using the
G 3/4" union nut. The package accompanying the module contains
a suitable gasket.
- Mount the wall bracket for the expansion tank at the side of the module.
Ensure that the corrugated hose is long enough for connection
of the expansion coupling and the 3/4” male thread of the safety
assembly!
- Connect the system up to the solar energy circuit.
- After the system has been filled and a complete seal-tightness
check performed, attach the front section of the heat insulation.
- Removing the module from the wall bracket: use a screwdriver or
similar tool to pull the clamping rings off towards you.
N.B.: the FlowBox Solar module is now loose! Make sure that it
does not slide forwards and out of the wall bracket!
Mounting the clamping ring screw connections
- Cut off the copper pipe at a right angle using a pipe cutter and debur
the edges of the pipe.
- First push the clamping ring nut over the pipe, then the clamping ring.
- Insert the pipe with clamping ring nut and clamping ring into the screw
connection and push up to the stop.
- Tighten the clamping ring nut by hand.-
- When tightening the compression fitting, care is to be taken that
counter-pressure is applied to the respective designated panes with
an open-ended spanner.
Connection safety valve
- A blower line leading to a collection container (e.g. empty canister of
the solar heating medium) must be fitted to the safety valve. This
permits collection and reuse of any heating medium which escapes
in the event of malfunction.
Heat insulation cladding
- The heat insulation cladding is for thermal insulation and protection
during transport.
Connection plug for filling, flushing and draining
- Both the safety assembly and the FlowGuard are fitted with a mini
ball-valve for filling, flushing and draining the system.
Safety assembly
- Consisting of safety valve, pressure gauge, fill-and-drain valve, and an
expansion tank connection. In order to reduce the thermal load, the
safety assembly is installed in the return flow line.
