This User Manual has been prepared for owners and users  
of the hot water system. Please keep it in a safe place for 
future reference. 

warning

Installation must be performed by a qualified installer (for 
example, a licensed plumber or gas fitter).

 

caution

•    Contact an authorised service technician for repair or 

maintenance of this hot water system.

•    If any power cord or cable is damaged and needs to 

be replaced, replacement work must be performed by 
authorised personnel only.

•    Installation work must be performed in accordance  

with national standards by authorised personnel only. 
Wrong connection can cause over heating or fire.

•   This hot water system should be installed in accordance 

with AS/NZS 3000 and your electricity suppliers rules.

For the installer

The installation must be completed in accordance with the 
information supplied in the Installation Manual that comes 
with your solar hot water system.
All other relevant National, State or Local regulations must 
also be conformed with and these include (but are not 
limited to): 
•  Australian Standard AS3500.1 – Water Supply 
•  Australian Standard AS3500.4 – Hot Water Supply 
•  Australian Standard AS3000 – Electrical Installation 
•  Australian Gas Association Code AS5601 –  

 Gas Appliance Installation 

•  Local Water, Gas & Electrical Authority Regulations  

 Municipal Building Codes 

•  The solar hot and solar cold pipes between the hot water 

storage tank and solar collectors MUST BE copper and 
fully insulated with closed cell polymer insulation or 
similar (minimum thickness of 20mm). Thicker insulation  
may be required to comply with the requirements of  
AS/NZS 3500.4. 

•  The insulation must be weatherproof and UV resistant if 

exposed to sunlight. All compression fittings must use 
brass or copper olives.

•  Plastic pipe MUST NOT be used, as it will not withstand 

the temperature and pressure of the water generated 
by the solar collectors under stagnation conditions. 
The solar collector can generate extremely high water 
temperatures up to 272°C. Plastic pipe can not withstand 
these temperatures and MUST NOT be used. Failure of 
plastic pipe can lead to the release of high temperature 
water and cause severe water damage and flooding.

•  The minimum supply water pressure for correct operation 

is 150kPa. If the supply water pressure could exceed 
600kPa, a 600kPa pressure limiting valve must be installed.

•  If the solar hot water system is electric boosted, the 

heating element is designed to be connected to extended 
off peak and not standard off peak (also called off peak 1).

warning

  

 

Connect with power supply properly.

Otherwise, it may cause electric shock or fire due to 
excess heat generation.

  

 

Always ensure effective earthing.

No earthing may cause electric shock.

  

 

Disconnect the power to the hot water system and 
turn off the gas inlet valve to the gas booster if smoke, 
strange sounds or smells are coming from the system. 

It may cause fire or electric shock.

 

Do not operate or stop the hot water system by 
switching on or off the power.

It may cause electric shock or fire due to heat generation.

Do not use a damaged or unspecified power cord.

It may cause electric shock or fire.
If a power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by 
the manufacturer or an authorised service centre or a 
similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

Do not modify power cord length or share the outlet 
with other appliances.

It may cause electric shock or fire due to heat generation.

Do not operate with wet hands or in damp environment.

It may cause electric shock.

Do not allow water to run into electric parts.

It may cause failure of machine or electric shock.

 

Do not use the socket if it is loose or damaged.

It may cause fire and electric shock.

 

Do not open the hot water system during operation.

It may cause electric shock.

 

Do not allow any power cords or cables to rest close  
to hot surfaces.

It may cause fire and electric shock.

Do not disassemble or modify the hot water system.

It may cause failure and electric shock.
