Target group
These instructions are exclusively intended for quali-
fied contractors.
■Work on electrical equipment must only be carried
out by qualified electricians.
Regulations
Observe the following when working on this system:
■National installation regulations
■Statutory regulations regarding the prevention of
accidents
■Statutory regulations regarding environmental pro-
tection
■The Code of Practice of relevant trade associations
■All current safety regulations as defined by DIN, EN,
DVGW, VDE and all locally applicable standards

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.

Horizontal distribution of rafter flanges
A specific number of rafter flanges is allocated to each
number of collectors.
A specific number of rafters need to be used. This
number depends on the rafter spacing.
Example:
■2 collectors type SV
■Rafter spacing a 600 mm
■Snow load 0.75 N/m2
Look up the combination in the table for 2 collectors on
page 6 (highlighted grey):
Of the 4 rafters, the following are used:

Installation information
■The first and last collector must be positioned with
the type plate facing outwards (observe label).
■On just one of the collectors, 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-ring seals exclusively with the spe-
cial valve grease provided.
