Figure 13 Tools for installation: carpenter’s gauge, drill, screwdriver bit
(cross recess PZ 3), open-ended spanner – sizes 16, 19 and 24 (mm).
Figure 15 Please ensure that when tightening the bolts the nut sits
square with the long side of the railing. This is important for the fitting
accuracy of the collector.
Figure 14 Prepare the installation railings on the ground. Insert the
hammerhead bolts into all holes in the installation railings from inside
and fasten the nuts.
Figure 16 Connect collector railings (➃, p. 2) and expansion collector
railings (➄,p. 2) with coupling piece using two hammerhead bolts. Push
the railings tightly together.
Installation
Please observe the following guidelines before
commencing work and during installation.
You will find some important notes about accident preven-
tion in the leaflet “Safety instructions for collector installa-
tion”.
If collectors have to be stored outside, this can be done in
two ways:
1. Lay down collectors with glass up. Avoid direct ground
contact, e.g. by laying wood beams under collectors. Put
spacers such as wood laths between collectors to avoid
scratches on the glass.
2.Lean collectors with their rear side against a wall or some-
thing similarly solid. Place spacers between collectors.
Don't lay paper or cardboard between collectors. Incorrect
storage can result in humidity entering the collectors.
Prevent damage from frost!
It is not possible to empty collectors completely after pres-
sure testing and rinsing. It is therefore necessary to fill the
system with antifreeze immediately. The volume for one
collector is 1.3 litres of the required mix. Check the concen-
tration level with a frost protection meter. Do not leave pure
water in collectors if there is danger of frost!
We do not accept any responsibility for damages resulting
from not adhering to these instructions.
It is mandatory to follow best practice rules for static plan-
ning, especially those related to wind and snow loads. Dif-
ferent codes and regulations apply in different countries
and regions. For more information please refer to the tech-
nical information “EURO Solar Collector“ C20/C22 and the
leaflet “Notes on Snow and Wind safe Installation of Solar
Collectors“.
