• Use two spanners when connecting the conex (supplied) fittings. Hold the rear nut whilst tightening
the connecting nut.
• The T&P valve can be adjusted to the required angle. Loosen the securing n
ut, adjust the angle and
fasten the nut at the desired angle.
• Fill the HWC with water. Leave a hot water tap open to get any extra air out of the system.
• Once filled, close the tap.
• Proceed by connecting the electrical supply. Open the electrical box and connect the electricity line.
Always ensure the electricity line is dead when working with electricity. Ensure a suitable qualified
artisan performs this function. Recommended thermostat setting 60°C, using the middle position of the
element (at the rear end of the HWC) for installation with solar panels.
• Install a suitable isolator switch within easy reach of the HWC.
•
ALWAYS ensure that the HWC is filled with water BEFORE the electrical supply is
commissioned.
Failing this the HWC and submersible element might be damaged.
• Check all f
ittings for leaks, and ensure all supply lines are properly fastened and secured to fastening
points; thereby minimizing strain on the fittings attached to the HWC.
• Never remove the supplied copper fittings from the HWC.
Split system Installations
If forced circulation is required (where the HWC is positioned at a point lower than the SP) follow the
instructions of the pump supplier. Always ensure that the fluid is circulated FROM the tank (HWC) TO
the panel (SP). This will ensure that the cooler fluid is circulated through the pump.
Fault Finder:
The water doesn’t heat even in bright sunlight?
Check the system for an air lock. Loosen (best early in the morning before the panel is warm) the conex
stopper at the top of the HWC and add more antifreeze. Close the system properly and repeat till
problem has been solved. The best practice is to fill the panels from the bottom with a flexible hose held
in a position higher than the HWC.
