Servicing and Maintenance
Users should regularly check the temperatures which the solar control panel is recording.
With the SC range of controllers, simply pressing the ‘SET’ button on the fascia once will
display the upper and lower collector temperatures since the control panel was last reset. If
the collector temperatures have been excessively high i.e. over 170 ˚ C, it is recommended that
the antifreeze level checked using a refractometer by a qualified engineer.
A sample of the Tyfocor® LS antifreeze fluid can be extracted from the pump station at
the pump itself. The large centre of the pump hub can be opened with a large flathead
screwdriver. This should be opened slowly until a few drops of the antifreeze fluid are
released. A sample of the fluid placed on the glass of the refractometer will display the level of
antifreeze in the system. If the antifreeze has lost its antifreeze properties the system should
be refilled with fresh Tyfocor® LS.
It is recommended that the solar system is serviced annually by a qualified engineer and
immediately if the system shows evidence of having lost pressure or has discharged liquid
at the pressure relief valve. The Tyfocor® LS antifreeze fluid should always be replaced after
7 years.
Maintenance schedule
A qualified person should service the system at the recommended intervals, using the
maintenance schedule below. In addition the user should check the system pressure at
regular intervals. A visual inspection of the pressure gauge is required to check that the
system pressure is maintained at the level noted below.
The service engineer should complete the following; the shaded boxes should be completed
if the system requires refilling:
