The system must be commissioned by
the system installer or a qualified person
authorised by the installer.
Also observe the operating instructions
of the connected components.
In the cold state, the system must have
a system filling pressure of 1.0 bar + 0.1
x static head, and an expansion vessel
pre-charge pressure of 0.7 bar + 0.1 x
static head.
!Please note
To prevent damage to the system
and the heat transfer medium,
close the air vent valves after
ventilation. This will prevent the
expulsion of vapour and the
ingress of air-borne oxygen.
!Please note
Excess temperatures can result
in damage to the solar thermal
system.
Therefore never switch off the
solar thermal system in summer,
e.g. during a holiday.

Viessmann solar collectors are tested for
impact resistance, for example against
hailstones, to EN 12975-2.
Nevertheless we recommend that the
user insures against extreme weather
conditions and includes the collectors on
their building insurance. The manufac-
turer's warranty excludes damage due to
such conditions.

Please observe the service
instructions supplied when clean-
ing or servicing the system.
■ Check the pressure gauge regularly.
■ Immediately have leaking pipes and
leaks in the solar thermal system
repaired.
■ Every six months, check the operating
pressure, the quiet running of the cir-
culation pumps, the flow and return
temperature and switching functions.
■ We recommend regularly checking the
heat transfer medium (frost protection
level and pH value).
Service instructions
■ Remove snow and contamination from
the collectors (snow more than 50 cm
deep). Increased contamination low-
ers the efficiency of the solar thermal
system.
■ Have your solar thermal system serv-
iced regularly to ensure trouble-free,
energy-conscious and environmen-
tally safe operation. We strongly
advise you to arrange an inspection
and maintenance contract with your
local contractor.
