there is no direct sunlight and with the solar panels covered over (cover the panels with a non-transparent material e.g. card-
board). This prevents heating of the solar system during installation.
The use of an antifreeze-water mixture in the solar circuit is necessary, particularly in areas where frost is prevalent.
Caution: Guarantee claims are only valid if the system has been used in conjunction with the supplier's original frost protection
agents and if the system has been properly installed, commissioned, and maintained.
For commissioning, you must make sure that the supply lines for the cold and hot water supply and the solar circuit must be
connected in accordance with the hydraulic diagram.
AS A FIRST STEP, YOU SHOULD ALWAYS FILL THE STORAGE TANK WITH WATER (PROCESS WATER CIRCUIT)!

If the solar circuit cannot accommodate the stipulated volume, you should check the system for possible faults

THE SSYSTEM. DO NOT POINT HOSE AT PERSONS OR PETS. ALWAYS DISCHARGE THE HOT WATER TO A SAFE PLACE.
3.3. Connections, Joints and Piping
The Thermosiphon System can reach temperatures up to 210°F, depending on the use, which can lead to injury (e.g. scalding).
As a result, a suitable thermal mixer must always be installed downstream of the hot water outlet to limit the process water
temperature to max. 140°F.
The pipes must be insulated with a suitable UV-resistant material, in order to reduce heat loss and protect the pipes from freez-
ing. Make sure that the valves are not insulated to ensure perfect functionality.
The maximum permissible operating pressure in the cold water line is 58 psi. The installation of an appropriate pressure reduc-
tion valve is imperative.
The storage tank is equipped with ¾" (female thread) process water connections. Please pay special attention to the circuit
diagram for the cold water and hot water connections in the handbook. Use commercially-available sealing materials (e.g. hemp,

connector from being damaged.
3.4. Periods without Hot Water Consumption
If the Thermosiphon System is not used over a period of approx. two weeks (e.g. no water drawn off due to a holiday), we rec-
ommend covering the panel with a non-transparent material to prevent damage by overheating.
If water is not drawn off regularly, then the water needs to be heated to over 140°F once a week in order to prevent the growth
of Legionella bacteria. This can be achieved by appropriate direct sunlight on the Thermosiphon System.
ONLY INSTALL THE SAFETY VALVE SUPPLIED IN THE SOLAR CIRCUIT AFTER FILLING.
DON´T TOUCH THE HOT PIPES!
