Intended use
The collectors provide central heating backup and
solar backup for DHW heating. They are only intended
to be installed and operated in sealed systems that
comply with EN 12976 and EN 12977, with due atten-
tion paid to the associated installation, service and
operating instructions. Only operate the collectors with
heat transfer medium approved by the manufacturer.
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 a building or DHW shall be deemed inap-
propriate.
Information

Any usage beyond this must be approved by the man-
ufacturer in each individual case.
Incorrect usage of the collectors or the installation sys-
tem or incorrect operation is prohibited (e.g. the collec-
tors being opened by the system user, failure to
observe the installation instructions). Failure to
observe these instructions can change functions,
endanger life and limb of the user or third parties and
will result in an exclusion of liability.
Incorrect usage also applies if components in the sys-
tem 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.

Installation information
■Align the collector array to face due south, or as
close to due south as possible.
■Observe the maximum load and distance from the
edge of the roof for the on-site substructure to
DIN 1055.
■Installation on concrete slabs A, see fig. 4:
Remove any gravel or similar from the installation
area, cover the surface with protective building mats
and position support slabs on top of these mats.
■Installation on steel beams B, see fig. 4:
Install the on-site substructure at right angles to and
horizontally level with the collector orientation.
■The Viessmann "SOLSTAT" calculation program is
available at www.viessmann.com to assist with bal-
last calculations.

For each of the (up to 6) collectors, affix 2 cross bra-
ces 8 diagonally to the adjacent adjustable supports
using screws.
Note
Trim the cross braces if required.

Installing the collector
Note on collector position
The side with the type plate must be on the outside of
the first and last collector.
If just 1 collector is used, fit the pipework at the side
opposite the type plate side.
!Please note
The connection pipes must be free of any signs
of damage.
Lubricate O-rings only with the special valve
grease provided.

Fitting the connection set and collector temperature sensor
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 fitting as far as it
will go.
■Initially tighten union nut by hand, then tighten with
an open-ended spanner by a further ¾ revolution.
!Please note
Connection pipes and plugs must not display
any damage.
Lubricate O-rings only with the special valve
grease provided.
Never fit annealed copper pipes onto the locking ring
fittings.

!Please note
The collectors may be damaged if the solar ther-
mal system is not filled with heat transfer
medium immediately after installation.
Protect collectors from insolation by covering
them up.
Installation
!Please note
Incorrect installation can lead to collector dam-
age.
Use only gunmetal or brass fittings and copper
pipes for the installation.
Never step on collectors.
Never solder on or near the collectors.

■Route pipes so that complete ventilation is ensured.
Install an air separator in the solar flow upstream of
the DHW cylinder.
Note
An air separator is integrated into the flow line of the
Solar-Divicon (see diagram).
■Generally, copper lines in solar circuits are brazed or
joined by press fittings.
Soft solder could be weakened, particularly near the
collectors, due to the maximum temperatures occur-
ring there. Metal seal connections, locking ring fit-
tings or Viessmann plug-in connections with double
O-rings are the most suitable.
If other seals such as flat gaskets are used, ade-
quate glycol, pressure and temperature stability must
be guaranteed by the manufacturer.
■Make all connections pressure and temperature
resistant (observe the maximum stagnation tempera-
ture of the collector).
Never use:
–Teflon (inadequate glycol resistance)
–Hemp connections (insufficiently gas-tight)
■Equip the system to EN 12975 with an expansion
vessel, safety valve and circulation pump.
■The expansion vessel must be approved to DIN
4807.
The diaphragms and seals of the expansion vessel
and safety valve must be suitable for the heat trans-
fer medium.
To calculate the pre-charge pressure, see the
"Vitosol" service instructions.
■For operation without a Solar-Divicon, use only
safety valves that meet the following conditions:
–Designed for 120 °C and up to 6 bar (0.6 MPa)
–Letter ID "S" (solar) in the component identification
