Owner’s Manual – Solar Water Heaters
H3165 029664 Rev. B
Electrical Safety:
This water heater is designed for single
phase 240V a.c. supply only. The electrical
connection must comply with Local Supply
Authority Regulations and AS/NZS 3000.
Any electrical covers including the solar
module cover, should be removed only by
a licensed tradesperson, and only after the
electrical supply to the water heater has
been isolated.
In addition to the PTR Valve and the Solar
Controller, electric boosted models are fitted
with a combination thermostat and over-
temperature energy cut-out.
These devices must not be tampered with
or removed. Replacement of these devices
must only be carried out by a licensed
tradesperson or the manufacturer.
The water heater must not be operated
unless these devices are fitted and in
working order.
Electric Booster Connection:
The electric booster is to be connected
to the power supply using fixed wiring.
A means for disconnection must be
incorporated in the fixed wiring in
accordance with the Wiring Rules.
When the supply wiring has been
connected, ensure the wires are kept
away from the inner tank, thermostats
and heating elements.
The thermostat controlling the electric
booster is pre-set to 60°C and should not
be adjusted.
Gas Booster Temperature Setting:
The instantaneous gas water heater must
be set to 75°C as described on page 19. A
remote controller must
not
be connected to
the water heater.
Solar Controller Installation and
Setting:
The solar collector temperature sensor is to
be connected to the terminal block located
under the solar module cover as described
on page 11.
The temperature settings of the solar
controller are pre-set and are not user
adjustable.
Solar Controller Supply Cord:
If the solar controller supply cord is
damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Not Using Hot Water?
If the water heater is not used for two weeks
or more, a quantity of hydrogen (which is
highly flammable) may accumulate inside the
water heater tank.
The procedure to dissipate this gas is
described on page 25.
Power Failure or Disconnection:
WARNING:
Do not turn off the power
supply to the solar controller. The solar
controller is designed to be continuously
powered.
The procedure to disconnect is on page 25.
