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.
Intended use

When installing several collectors one behind the
other, maintain clearance z to prevent unwanted shad-
ing.

Installation on substructure, e.g. steel beams
Installation information:
■Observe the maximum load and distance from the
edge of the roof for the on-site substructure to DIN
1055.
■Install the on-site substructure at right angles to and
horizontally level with the collector orientation.
■Secure joining plate qP to the retaining plates
between the second and third supports, the fourth
and fifth, etc.
■For each of the 1 to 6 collectors installed side by
side, secure 2 cross braces diagonally to the adjust-
able supports using screws (see following diagram).
