2 Safety instructions and
recommendations
2.1 Safety instructions
DANGER
The permissible roof load of the building must not at any
time be exceeded. If necessary, a structural engineer
should be consulted before commencing work.
WARNING
Only a qualified professional may carry out the installation
in conformity with in force legislation and standards.
CAUTION
Do not neglect to service the appliance. Contact a qualified
professional or take out a maintenance contract for the
annual servicing of the appliance.
2.2 Recommendations
WARNING
4Any operation on the installation must be performed
by a qualified technician respecting professional
regulations and in accordance with this document.
4When making the connections, it is imperative that
the standards and corresponding local directives are
respected.
4The flat solar panels and fittings should be handled carefully during
transportation and storage. If the packing has nevertheless been
damaged during transit, the damage must be reported
immediately to and claimed against the carrier.
4The contents of the assembly kit must be checked before
installation against the list which accompnaies each kit.
4When installing the panels, take note of the safety instructions in
this document.
4The packing material should be properly disposed of after
installation.
4Insulate the pipes in rooms that are not heated (cellars and lofts).
4Check regularly that the installation contains water and is
pressurised.
4Service the appliance regularly to ensure that it operates correctly.

3 Technical description
3.1 Operating principle
The short-wave solar radiation (sunlight) striking the solar panel is
converted into heat by the selective coating on the absorber. From
there it is transferred by heat conduction to the absorber pipe and
carried by the heat-transporting fluid to the calorifier. The solar-panel
fluid heats the calorifier by means of the energy absorbed from the
sun and cools down itself in the process. The cooled heat-transporting
fluid then flows back to the solar panel in order to collect more solar
energy. An intelligent control system ensures that the circulation
system is only active when there is sufficient solar radiation, thus
optimising the collection of solar energy.

4 Installation
4.1 Regulations governing installation
CAUTION
The installation must be equipped with a protective plastic
film (roof underlay film).
CAUTION
4The installation must comply in all matters to the
standards and rules which govern the work and
interventions in individual and collective homes, and
other constructions.
4The installation and maintenance of the appliance
must be carried out by a qualified professional in
compliance with the statutory texts of the codes of
conduct in force.
4Before installation, make sure that the framework is
solid and strong enough to comply with the static
requirements.
4Solar installations must be earthed to protect them
against lightning.
4Protection of the environment: Place a container of
sufficient volume under the drain pipe and the valve
discharge pipe.
4The roof mounting pack makes it possible to install
the solar collectors on roofs with structures
presenting a minimum incline of 17°.
4The roof-integral installation set is designed specifically as a
mounting system for the NEO 2.1 flat solar panels and may only
be used in accordance with their building regulations approval.
4The mounting kit is designed for roof coverings in standard
mechanical roman roof tiles for the South of France.
4The water drainage channels on the membrane should run into
the eaves (roof gutter).
4The installation should therefore not be flushed or filled when the
collectors are hot (in strong sunshine).
4The solar system must at all times be filled with heat transporting
fluid.
