Welcome
Thank you for choosing our thermosiphon solar water heater from the TS-INOX range. The TS-INOX system is a
high quality product. The solar energy is transmitted through by an absorber with a highly selective coating. The
robustness of the system is ensured by the tempered safety glass pane, the enameling of the hot water tank and
the Magnelis® steel of the supports.

General
The following instructions enable authorised personnel to install the systems efficiently and safely. The
installation and safety instructions must be followed. The accident prevention regulations of the professional
associations must be observed, especially when working on the roof. If there is a risk of falling, precautions
must be taken. The entire solar energy system must be installed and operated in accordance with recognised
technical regulations. Errors and omissions excepted.
General specifications
These installation instructions describe the installation of the TS-INOX solar water heater for a flating roof.
The main components of the system are as follows:
- Solar storage tank
- Solar collector(s)
- Mounting bracket
- Hydraulic kit
Detailed information can be found in the product nomenclature.
TS-INOX thermosiphon water heaters operate in direct circulation. The storage tank is protected against
corrosion (Inox 316L).
The hot water temperature in the storage tank can reach more than 100°C. The maximum operating pressure
is 7 bar. If the mains pressure is higher than 4 bar, it is necessary to use a pressure reducer.
For optimum performance, the solar collectors must face south in the northern hemisphere and north in the
southern hemisphere. To ensure the production of hot water all year round, it is possible to install an electric
back-up. To avoid burns and for greater comfort, it is necessary to install a solar thermostatic mixer.
How does a thermosiphon work?
The water, circulating inside the collectors heats up, expands and becomes lighter than cold water. It rises
naturally in the storage tank located above the collectors for the thermosiphon technology. This hot water
then replaces the cold water which goes back down to the collectors to be reheated, and so on.
It is a phenomenon of natural circulation of a liquid that uses the variation of its density with temperature.
Packaging, handling and storage
The collector is packaged in two cardboard covered, reinforced by honeycombed wedges on the corners.
The tank is wrapped in a protective foam, filmed with stretch plastic film. The supports are wrapped with
stretch film, as well as the tubes of the hydraulic kit. The products must be stored indoors. Do not handle the
collectors or the tank by the inlet/ outlet tubes. Protect the glass and the back of the collector during transport.
Maintenance
In order to ensure that the system functions properly over time, it is important to carry out all the maintenance
steps mentioned in the user manual. If these steps are not carried out, the longevity of the product and its
warranty may be affected.

V07.22 Page 7of 20
Safety instructions
Roof
Before installation, make sure
- that the roof can withstand the load of a TS-INOX water heater once filled.
- that the inclination is sufficient for the thermosiphon’s function (see page 6)
Local climatic conditions, such as snow and wind, must be taken into consideration. Please contact your
seller for more information.
Location
Make sure that there is enough space available for the correct installation of the system. Please observe
the distance to the roof edge of 1.5m. This is necessary with regard to roof statics, snow and wind loads,
as well as to facilitate maintenance of the system. If the roof does not allow this, please consult a structural
engineer.
Roof waterproofing
In order to avoid moisture and water infiltration problems on the roof, pipes that penetrate the roof must be
well sealed. The fixing of the supports is carried out by means of anchor bolts with sealing gasket.
Additional comments
The connecting pipes must be very well insulated to avoid heat loss and UV damage.
We recommend that you declare the TS-INOX water heater to your insurance company as an added value
to the building and take out insurance against lightning and glass breakage.
Be careful:On very sunny days, the collectors can become very hot. There is a risk
of burning. Therefore, the collectors must be covered during installation. Prefer an
installation in the early morning.

Page 8of 20 V07.22
Technical instructions
Installation guide
The installation of the water heater is described in detail on the following pages. These installation
instructions are divided into three parts:
1. Installation of collectors and storage tank
2. Hydraulics
3. Maintenance
Before starting the installation, please consider the following points:
The thermosiphon solar water heater must be installed with a minimum inclination of 15°, corresponding to the
limit of use.
Antifreeze corrosion protection
The TS-INOX thermosiphon water heater must not be installed in areas at risk of frost.

V07.22 Page 9of 20
Safety group
The safety groups protect the water heaters when the internal pressure reaches 7 bar. This also allows the
opening and closing of the water supply to the water heater and the emptying of the water heater by
operating the valve cap. The safety group must be connected to the gutter by means of a drain pipe. The
drain pipe must be free of obstructions so that the excess water can drain off normally.
Electric connection
Where a booster resistor is required, a circuit breaker must be installed. This installation must be carried
out by a certified electrician.
Lightning protection
The load-bearing structure of the collectors must be earthed. If a lightning protection device is already
provided for the building, the metal piping of the solar system must be connected to this device with a
green/yellow conductor cable with a minimum cross-section of 6 mm² Cu (H07 V-U or R). If this is not the
case, an earth spike can also be used for earthing.
Decommissioning and dismantling
The system must be dismantled early in the morning to avoid the risk of burning. Be aware of the system
temperatures before starting dismantling. Cover the collectors the day before if possible, to prevent the
passage of solar radiation.

Lift the collectors (3) on the roof. For lifting, attach two
sturdy ropes as shown opposite. During handling,
check that the rope doesn’t cover the copper inlet/
outlet tubes. It is recommended to use a crane for
lifting. If necessary, carefully use, a ladder to mount
the collectors on the roof. Work in pairs: one installer
secures the collectors, the other guides them.
Raise the tank on the roof. For assembly, attach two
sturdy ropes as shown opposite. We recommend
using a crane for lifting. Work in pairs: one installer

Be careful not to overtighten the connections. The
collectors tappings are fragile.
It is necessary to use 2 flat spanners, one to hold the
central nut to prevent rotation of the fitting, and another to
tighten the nut on each side. Failure to follow this protocol
will result in damage to the welds and the collector.

Model 200L
Connect the hydraulic kits according to the following considerations:
Connect the flow pipe (6.1) between the storage tank and collector using the compression fittings (6.3) and (6.7).
The connection (6.7) at the tank connection must be sealed with sealing compound and thread (NO TEFLON).
Do the same with the coupling (6.4), then connect the return hose (6.2) using the compression fittings (6.4) and
(6.5).
Place the compression caps on the 2 remaining collector inlet/ outlet tubes.
Assemble the safety group (6.10) to the flask using a high-temperature fibre gasket or joint compound and thread.
Model 300L
Connect the hydraulic kits according to the following considerations :
Connect the flow pipe (6.1) between the storage tank and collector using the compression fittings (6.3) and the
loose nut (6.8) with the high-temperature fibre seal (6.9).
Likewise, connect the return pipe (6.2) using the compression fitting (6.3) and the loose nut (6.8) with the high-
temperature fibre seal (6.9).
Place the compression caps on the 2 remaining collector inlet/ outlet tubes.
Assemble the safety group (6.10) to the flask using a high-temperature fibre gasket or joint compound and thread.
Remove the remaining protective film from the storage tank before commissioning.
Filling the water heater :
- Turn on a hot water tap in the dwelling.
- Open the water supply, at the safety group level
- Allow the air in the water heater to bleed through the hot water tap
open for this purpose.
- When water flows out of the hot water tap, turn it off. This means
that the water heater is full.
Do not use Teflon
Be sure to use a thread to allow the system to be watertight.
Each screwed connection must be sealed with a wire rope.
