Preparing to Install
Before starting the installation please read through the complete installation manual. By taking the
time to follow these simple instructions the whole installation process will be much easier.
1)
Carefully unpack the system and check that all components are present, familiarise
yourself with them and make sure that everything has been identified. Ensure that you
have all tools required to complete the installation.
2)
Familiarise yourself with the Dulas Installation Record in Section 24 of this manual. This
provides a step-by-step guide to the installation process and also gives you a formal record
of the installation.
3)
Discuss and decide a position for the refrigerator, ensuring that it is out of direct sunlight
and in a well-ventilated, dry place. The cooler the room, the better the performance.
Note:
avoid locations where room temperature may fall below +5°C.
4)
Identify a safe position for the solar array, ensuring that it faces the correct direction and is
mounted at the correct tilt angle for the system location
. Ensure that the solar array is
not, and will not become, shaded in the future and that it is accessible for cleaning
and maintenance.
5)
Work out the best route for the solar array output cable and the earthing cable, ensuring
that there is sufficient length to reach the refrigerator and that our advice on lightning
protection is followed (see Section 13).
Each component should have a sensible, well thought out,
safe
location, allowing access for
routine maintenance.
