6.1
Preparing to install the collectors
Before beginning actual installation on the roof, preas-
semble the locking caps on the ground to make work on
the roof easier.
To secure the locking caps (and later the corrugated
pipe connectors and connecting pipes as well), attach
brackets to the connections.
6.1.1 Pipework connections
The collectors must be installed in such a way that the
sensor bushs for taking up the collector sensor (Fig. 40,
Item 1
) are at the top.
The pipework in the collector is designed as a double
meander, which enables you to carry out two different
water connections:
Single-sided connection of up to 5 collectors
Up to 5 collectors can be connected
to one
side of a col-
lector array (Fig. 39 and Fig. 40).
Two-way connection of up to 10 collectors
If there are more than 5 collectors installed in one
collector array, the water connection must be two-way
(Tichelmann principle, Fig. 41).
The two-way connection can also be made if there are
fewer than 6 collectors (Fig. 41).
If more than10 collectors are required then a further
AGS pump station is required.

CAUTION!
SYSTEM DAMAGE
through leaks in the collector connections.
The corrugated pipe connectors, connec-
ting pipes and collector connections must
not display any signs of damage or conta-
mination.
z
The collector connections have had
special grease applied in the factory to
make installation easier. Do not use
any other grease.
USER NOTE
The water connection pipes can be con-
nected on the right (Fig. 39) or left
(Fig. 40). In this manual, the connection pi-
pes are shown on the right.
