Installation information
■ Where possible, the collector array
should face due south.
■ Observe the maximum load and dis-
tance from the edge of the roof for the
on-site substructure to DIN 1055.
■Installation on concrete slabs A (see
diagram on page 8):
Remove any gravel or similar from the
installation area, cover the surface
with protective building mats and posi-
tion the supports on them.

■Installation on steel supports B (see
diagram on page 8):
Install the on-site substructure at right
angles to and horizontally level with
the collector orientation.
■ For calculating the ballast, the
Viessmann "SOLSTAT" calculation
program is available at
www.viessmann.com.

Observe the following when installing the
locking ring fitting:
■ All pipes must be cut at right angles
and deburred.
■ Push the union nut and the locking ring
onto the pipe and lightly lubricate the
threads with oil.
■ Push the pipe into the locking ring fit-
ting as far as it will go.
■ Initially turn the union nut by hand,
then tighten with an open-ended span-
ner by a further ¾ turn.
■
!Please note
There should be no signs of
damage on the connecting
pipes or plug.
Lubricate O-ring seals only
with the special instrument
grease provided.
Never fit annealed copper pipes onto the
locking ring fittings.

!Please note
The collectors may be damaged
if the solar thermal system is not
filled with heat transfer medium
immediately after installation.
Therefore, protect the collectors
from solar radiation by covering
them up.

!Please note
Incorrect installation can lead
to collector damage.
Use only gunmetal or brass fit-
tings and copper pipes for the
installation.
Never step on the collectors.
Never solder on or near the
collector.
■ Position pipes so that complete venti-
lation is guaranteed. Install an air sep-
arator at an accessible point in the
pipework (see the following diagram).
■ Generally, copper lines in solar circuits
are hard soldered or joined by press
fittings.
Soft solder could be weakened, par-
ticularly near the collectors, due to the
max. temperatures that may occur
there. Metal seal connections, locking
ring fittings or Viessmann plug-in con-
nections with double O-rings are the
most suitable.
If other seals such as flat gaskets are
used, adequate glycol, pressure and
temperature stability must be guaran-
teed by the manufacturer.
■ Make all connections pressure and
temperature-resistant (observe the
maximum idle temperature of the col-
lector).
Never use:
– Teflon (inadequate glycol stability)
– Hemp connections (not sufficiently
gas-tight)
■ Equip systems to EN 12975 with an
expansion vessel, safety valve and cir-
culation pump.
■ The expansion vessel must be
approved in accordance with DIN
4807.
The diaphragms and seals of the
expansion vessel and safety valve
must be suitable for the heat transfer
medium.
To calculate the pre-charge
pressure, see the "Vitosol"
service instructions.
■ If operating without a Solar-Divicon,
only use safety valves designed for
120 °C, a maximum pressure of 6 bar,
and which carry the "S" (Solar) desig-
nation.
