CONNECTION OF PANEL TO HOT 

WATER SYSTEM (FLOWCON B) 

 

39.  Please  refer  to  the  pump  station  (pump, 

controller, 

flowmeter, 

expansion 

vessel) 

manufacturer’s  fixing  instructions  and  manuals 
for  full  details  regarding  installation  of  these 
items and any remaining ancillary components. 

The  instructions  below  show  the  general 
installation of the FlowCon B pump station  with 
BS/3  controller  ready-fitted.  This  includes  three 
sensors, with space for connection a forth: - 

• 

S1 

Collector Sensor (essential). 

• 

S2 

Cylinder Low Sensor (essential). 

• 

S3 

Cylinder  High  Sensor  (essential 

where  “after-heating”  –  e.g.  a  boiler  –  is 
included). 

• 

S4 

Sensor  for  heat  quantity  balancing 

(optional). 

 

 

40.  The  FLOWCON  B  pump  station  should  be 

connected  to  an  expansion  vessel  as  shown 
above. At the top of the FLOWCON B unit there 
are  two  pipe  connections,  these  being  for  the 
ST  4  /  ST  6  panel  flow  and  return  pipes.  The 
connections for the flow and return pipes to and 
from the hot water cylinder (not supplied) are at 
the  bottom  of  the  FLOWCON  B  pump  station. 
The  pump  is  on  the  right-hand  side  (viewed 
from  front),  and  should  be  on  the  return  pipe-
line (cylinder to collector). 

 

41.  The  water  inlet  and  outlet  flexible  hosepipes 

from  the  back  of  the  ST  4  /  ST  6  panel  are 
connected  to  the  insulated  flexible  hose  pipes 
supplied  with  the  pump  station  and  controller. 
From  underneath  the  panel,  the  flow  comes 
from  the  top-left  corner,  and  the  return  comes 
from the top tight corner. 

 

42.  The  insulated  flexible  hosepipes  are  in  turn 

connected  to  the  flow  (left)  and  return  (right) 
pipe connections at the top of the pump station 
and controller unit.
