The appliance is only intended to be installed and
operated in sealed unvented systems that comply with
EN 12828 / DIN 1988, or solar thermal systems that
comply with EN 12977, with due attention paid to the
associated installation, service and operating instruc-
tions. DHW cylinders are only designed to store and
heat water of potable water quality. Heating water buf-
fer cylinders are only designed to hold fill water of pot-
able water quality. Only operate solar collectors with
the heat transfer medium approved by the manufac-
turer.
Intended use presupposes that a fixed installation in
conjunction with permissible, system-specific compo-
nents has been carried out.
Commercial or industrial usage for a purpose other
than heating the building or DHW shall be deemed
inappropriate.
Any usage beyond this must be approved by the man-
ufacturer for the individual case.
Incorrect usage or operation of the appliance (e.g. the
appliance being opened by the system user) is prohibi-
ted and results in an exclusion of liability.
Incorrect usage also occurs if the components in the
system are modified from their intended use (e.g.
through direct DHW heating in the collector).
Adhere to statutory regulations, especially concerning
the hygiene of potable water.

Fixings:
■Rafter flanges (from page 8)
■Rafter hooks (from page 15)
■Rafter anchors (from page 24)
■Mounting brackets (from page 34)
Each number of collectors and collector combination
has a specific number of fixings allocated to it.
Subject to the spacing between rafters, a specific num-
ber of rafters is used for attaching the fixings.
The following tables detail the rafters to which the fix-
ings should be attached.
Example:
■3 collectors
■Combination comprising 1 x 1.51 m2 and
2 x 3.03 m2
■Rafter spacing 600 mm
Look up the combination in the table for 3 collectors on
page 7 (highlighted grey):
Of the 9 rafters, the following are used:

Fitting the rafter hooks
Fitting rafter hooks applies to vertical and horizontal
collector installation.
■Version I:
Fitting rafter hook 1 onto counter batten B with
support bracket 2
■Version II:
Fitting rafter hook 1 directly onto rafter A
■Trim the roof tiles with an angle grinder, for example
by removing drip tabs.
!Please note
Take care to avoid breaking tiles.
The rafter hook must not be supported by the
roof tiles. Observe the dimensions.
