Solar System Installation Guide
Other Relays
If any additional relays are set up on the system, these should be tested in ‘Manual’ mode as above, to ensure the
connections have been wired correctly.
Thermomax HP Installation
The evacuated tubes should be inserted at a time when there is very low light such as late afternoon when the sun is low
and not particularly strong. Alternatively the tubes should be covered. This is important as tube connections can heat
up considerably in a short space of time and have potential to cause injury while the glass temperature will remain low.
Thermomax evacuated tubes have a patented feature that limits the temperature to 275°F in the tubes. This protects all
components within the system from overheating during prolonged stagnation periods.
Inserting HP Tubes
1.
Place tube in tube clips on both support rails
2.
Slide tube into manifold connection while slightly rotating tube until TWO clicking noises are heard. Do not apply
force. If tube does not engage properly, support tube at bellow section while pushing into the manifold connection.
3.
Gently pull on tube to ensure secure assembly.
4.
Pull the rubber retaining clips over the tubes on each of the support rails to hold the tubes tightly in place.
5.
Repeat steps 2 - 4 for all tubes.
6.
Close manifold lid ensuring proper engagement of front seal strip over whole length and on end caps.
