The sensor "bundle" must be placed under the rubber pipe insulation covering the collector header. Thoroughly
wrap and weatherize the insulation with electrician's tape or insulation tape as provided by the manufacturer
(Rubatex Insul- Tape or equal). See Figure 8 for collector sensor installation detail.

Low Voltage Wiring
Low voltage wiring is used to connect the collector sensor to the controller and should be a minimum 18 AWG.
The wiring should be stranded bare or tinned copper, two-conductor type.
The wiring should be PVC insulated, with a PVC UV rated gray jacket suitable for exterior use. Use Eastman Wire
& Cable No. 5704, Belden Wire and Cable No. 8461 or equivalent.
This completes the system installation procedure.
Collector Maintenance
Collectors operate best when the glass is clean and unobstructed. If they become dirty wash them with mild
soapy water and rinse. Remove any branches or leaves that do not naturally fall off or are blown away by the
wind. Collectors installed at the proper angle anywhere in the continental United States should not have either
of these problems. Dust and dirt build can be a problem in dry desert climates where there is little rain to wash
the glass.
