1 GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
b Check that the product is complete, undamaged
and as ordered as soon as you receive it. Report
any discrepancies or damage to the dealer who
sold it.
b This product must be installed by a legally qualified
heating engineer. On completion of the installation,
the installer must issue the owner with a declara-
tion of conformity confirming that the installation has
been completed to the highest standards in com-
pliance with the instructions provided by Bin
this instruction manual, and that it conforms to all
applicable laws and standards.
b This product must only be used for the purpose
for which it is designed and made, as specified by
B. Bdeclines all responsibility, contractual
or other, for damage to property or injury to persons
or animals caused by improper installation, adjust-
ment, maintenance or use.
b Make sure that the roof is strong enough to support
the weight of the solar water heating system under
operating conditions. Also make sure that the sec-
tion of roof chosen for the installation enjoys a high
level of insolation, and is not shaded during the day
by tall plants, trees, other houses, hills, etc..
b The installation of a solar water heating system
modifies the existing structure of the roof. Verify
the suitability of all roof elements and if necessary
adapt them to avoid leaks or damage by wind and/
or snow loads.
b If the system is installed in an area subject to gust-
ing winds or snow loads in excess of the limits given
in the technical specifications, consult your supplier
for advice.
b Snow can build up in the sheltered area behind
the solar water heating system. Provide adequate
protection to avoid increasing the static load on the
roof.
b The system must be serviced at least once a year.
b The water supply circuit must permit the storage
cylinder to be filled and emptied in safety. Shut-off
valves must therefore be easily accessible to the
user and the operation of emptying the storage cyl-
inder must not create any risk of flooding or other
damage.
b Insulate the domestic water pipes (hot and cold)
and the pipes of the solar collector circuit. Provide
suitable insulation for all outdoor accessories.
b The point through which the water pipes enter the
building must be rain-proof and damp-proof.
b If you notice any water or heat transfer liquid leaks,
disconnect the system immediately from the mains
electricity supply (if a supplementary heating ele-
ment is installed), shut off the water supply, and no-
tify B’s Technical Assistance Service or a quali-
fied heating engineer immediately.
b Make sure that the water-glycol mix in the solar col-
lector circuit is able to resist the minimum tempera-
tures likely to occur in the place of installation.
b The system can reach very high temperatures. Safe-
ty valves can therefore discharge extremely hot liq-
uids. Make sure that the expansion vessel is of a
suitable size and design for use in solar water heat-
ing systems.
b Use proper slings to lift and move the elements of
the system. Never lift the collector or storage cylin-
der by their fittings. Avoid subjecting the collector
to impacts or mechanical strain, and take care to
protect the glass panel. Use the personal protection
equipment required by applicable safety standards.
2 PRECAUTIONS
a Never attempt to install the system without using the
personal protection equipment and without follow-
ing the safety precautions specified by applicable
occupational safety standards.
a Never install solar collectors on roofs without an ad-
equate lightning protection system.
a Never install the system without providing proper
drainage for the two safety valves: that of the do-
mestic hot water circuit and that of the primary (so-
lar collector) circuit.
a If the storage cylinder is equipped with a supple-
mentary heating element, never attempt any clean-
ing or maintenance without first disconnecting it
from the mains power supply.
a Do not allow children or infirm persons to operate
the system unsupervised.
a Do not tamper with or adjust the safety or control
devices without prior authorisation and instructions
from the manufacturer.
a Never use anti-freeze other than that supplied by
Bto fill or top up the solar collector circuit. Mix-
ing different products can reduce the anti-freeze
protection provided.
a Never drain the solar collector circuit under sunny
conditions or when the collector is hot.
a Do not dispose of packaging material into the en-
vironment, or leave it within the reach of children,
since it can become a potential hazard. Dispose of
packaging material in compliance with applicable
legislation.

GENERAL
3 DESCRIPTION OF THE SYSTEM
The NS-SOL system is a solar hot water heating system
that functions on the principle of natural circulation. The
heat transfer liquid therefore circulates by normal convec-
tion.
The system comprises one or more solar collectors and
a jacket type storage cylinder, located above the collec-
tor/s.
The system does not require any pumps or adjustments.
Order the mounting frame kit separately to suit the type of
roof involved: flat or sloping.
A supplementary heating element is also available for use
if needed.
The system comprises:
- Solar collector/s
- A jacket type solar storage cylinder
- A box of water fittings
- Anti-freeze liquid
4 SAFETY DEVICES
The system is equipped with the following safety devices:
- A primary circuit safety valve that opens if pressure
in the primary (solar collector) circuit rises above a
2.5 bar threshold.
- A secondary circuit safety valve that opens if pres-
sure in the secondary (DHW) circuit rises above a
10 bar threshold.
b Water may come out of the primary and secondary
circuit safety valves as a result of variations in tem-
perature and pressure during the course of the day.
Ensure that proper drainage is provided. For the
same reason, avoid standing near the safety valves
during the day.
b Safety devices must only be replaced by B's
Technical Assistance Service using original spare
parts.
b Over-temperature protection requires an adequate
supply of cold water from the mains.

a Do not lift the solar collector by its water fittings.
a Do not lift the storage cylinder by its water fittings.
b Wear suitable personal protective equipment and
use suitable safety devices.
Hold solar collectors at the points shown (A) to move
them.
Lift and move the storage cylinder in a horizontal position.
Make sure that the slings and lifting gear used are suita-
ble for the weight.

12 PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
Select the best possible orientation for the solar collectors
(ideally facing south). Avoid positions that are shaded by
plants, trees, buildings or hills, etc. during the day.
In the case of sloping roof installations, choose the side
that is most exposed to the sun and install the collector/s
at the roof’s own pitch angle and orientation to ensure that
the collector/s blend in architecturally.
Maintain the minimum distance (A) between the system
and the edge of the roof.
Remove all gravel and detritus from the surface on which
the system is to be installed.
Do not use flat roof or sloping roof mounting frames to
install any other equipment. They are designed only for
use with Bsolar water heating systems.
The installation of a solar water heating system modifies
the existing structure of the roof. Verify the suitability of all
roof elements and if necessary adapt them to avoid leaks
or damage by wind and/or snow loads.

13 ASSEMBLY
Start the installation by assembling the mounting frame.
Follow the instructions given in the mounting frame’s own
manual.
Make sure that you comply with all applicable lightning
protection and building potential compensation legisla-
tion.
On completion of assembly, make sure that the Bso-
lar water heating system is perfectly stable, then remove
the protective film from the storage cylinder. Apply the
data plate (1) and the Blabel to the storage cylinder.
a Never attempt to install the system without using the
personal protection equipment and without follow-
ing the safety precautions specified by applicable
occupational safety standards.

The water supply circuit must permit the storage cylinder to be filled and emptied in safety. Shut-off valves must therefore
be easily accessible to the user and the operation of emptying the storage cylinder must not create any risk of flooding
or other damage.
b All water pipe connections must conform to appli-
cable standards.
b The operating pressure limits specified on the data
plate must never be exceeded. It may therefore be
necessary to fit a pressure reducer.
b A thermal mixing valve must always be connected
to the hot water outlet to control the temperature of
hot at the taps.
b The point through which the water pipes enter the
building must be rain-proof and damp-proof.
