1 General Safety Notes
1.1 Symbols
The following symbols are used throughout these instruc-
tions and must be adhered to:
DANGER of possibly serious personal injury
WARNING against material damage.
NOTE as additional information
1.2 Norms and Regulations
The standards and regulations applicable at the instal-
lation location must be adhered to. In absence of other
regulations we recommend to follow the following norms:
Thermal Solar Systems and Components
●EN 12976 and EN V 12977
Electrical Work, Potential Equalization, Lightning
Protection
●DIN EN 62305
●VDE 0185 part 305
●DIN VDE 0100 part 540
●VDE 190
●DIN 18382
(Other regulations may apply, depending on your region,
country or territory.)
Especially the pipes in the lower parts of the building
must be connected electrically conductive, conforming to
standards. The collector installation must be profession-
ally integrated with an existing or new lightning protection
system.
Snow and Wind Loads
Comply with local regulations and norms related to snow
and wind loads, within the EU to EN 1991-1-4 (Wind Ac-
tions) and EN 1991-1-3 (Snow Loads). If you have ques-
tions related to structural conditions and planning, please
contact our technical department for information. We offer
comprehensive planning support on a project base.
Work on Roofs
Make sure to observe country and territory regulations re-
lated to roof works and roof sealing standards as well as
professional codes for plumbing work.
The installation process must reflect the on-site condi-
tions as well as applicable rules, regulations and accident
prevention procedures. Installers must be qualified and -
where applicable - licensed to work on roofs.
1.3 Qualification of the Installer
Setup, installation and proper commissioning of the solar
installation must be carried out by authorized profession-
als. Non-compliance renders the warranty void.
1.4 Intended Use and Application
Proper Outdoor Storage of Collectors
Remove protective film, and lay down collectors with glass
pane up.Avoid direct ground contact (e.g. underlay square
timber). Avoid scratches on glass panes by using spacers
between collectors (e.g. wooden laths). When leaning col-
lectors against walls or similar, use a minimum inclination
of 15° and apply spacers. Do not use cardboard as under-
liner. If incorrectly stored, humidity can enter the collec-
tors through the air vents. Storing collectors in plastic film
package can damage the glass surface (see figure 2).
Scope and Limitations of Application
The collector is intended for the application in solar ther-
mal installations for hot water preparation and space heat-
ing support. As operating mediums water (attention – risk
of freezing!) or an appropriate water-glycol mixture can
be used in a closed circuit. Operational conditions under-
running the dew point within the collector for prolonged
periods are not permitted! This can occur for example,
when collectors are integrated in the brine circuit of a heat
pump.
Assure Proper Roofing structure
For in-roof installations the section behind the collectors
hast to be protected against rising moisture and trapped
air. In the area of the collector field sufficient back-side
ventilation of the roof must be assured (see „3. Installa-
tion Field.“)
Overheat Protection
For roof heating centrals and when 4 or more EURO col-
lectors with anti reflective glass are installed vertically, the
“Technical Information Solar Thermal Systems – Setup,
Commissioning and Maintenance” must be followed to
avoid damage to the solar circuit.
Preventing frost Damage
After pressure testing and flushing, collectors cannot be
completely emptied. Make sure that no pure water re-
mains in collector during risk of frost!
Empty Collector on Roof
After being installed on the roof, unfilled collectors should
not be exposed to the sun for more than a few days. Other-
wise thermal stress on gaskets can result in damage. Alter-
natively postpone the installation of gaskets to just before
filling the solar circuit.
Maintenance
For maintenance notes and additional information about
setup and operation of the collector field, please refer to
the technical information “Solar Thermal Systems”.
