Connections
The collectors are to be connected together using hydraulic connectors . The internal double seal is pre-lubricated in
the factory to facilitate fi tting. Connectors are to be retained in their original packaging until use and protected from
damage . The connector can still be installed even if this lubricant is absent in the delivered state but it must not
then under any circumstances be treated with different lubricants. If the O-rings are damaged or soiled, the entire
connector can no longer be used . Replacing the O-rings is not recommended . Care should be taken to ensure that
the connectors/connections are correctly fi tted. Care should be taken with the connecting pipework to ensure that
appropriate precautions for compensating the heat expansion caused by temperature fl uctuations are provided for
(expansion bends, fl exible pipework). Recommended connecting diagrams are illustrated on pp. 36-37 along with the
maximum number of collectors per collector array . (ATTENTION: Inspection of pump confi guration). When tightening
the connections, always apply counter-pressure with a wrench or another spanner to prevent damage to the absorber.
ATTENTION: Do not under any circumstances use pipe wrenches so as to avoid damaging the glass edge.
Collector angle / General notes
The collector is suitable for angles between 15 ° (minimum) and 75 ° (maximum) . The collector connections and the
ventilation openings must be protected against the penetration of water as well as contamination such as dust etc .
Usually the collector does not need any cleaning. If so, it shall be cleaned with potable water or demineralized water
only .
Connecting the support rails
If several support rails are to be assembled and connected in series, please ensure that they are fully pushed together
with no visible gap (to the abutment). On the extension support rail a connector bracket (TSV, 1.14) has to be fi tted.
The support rails must be connected using the supplied Torx©-screw (2 .6) . Care should be taken to ensure the Torx©
screw is positioned (screwed in) at the correct angle .
Warranty
Warranty claim only in conjunction with the supplier's original frost protection and correct installation, commissioning
and maintenance. Installation by qualifi ed personnel with strict adherence to the instructions is a prerequisite for the
justifi cation of claims. Note: Installing solar thermal pannels (collectors) near to coastal regions or in any other corro-
sive environment may result in corrusion and corrosion of the absorber . Sonnenkraft doesn't take any responsibility
or liability for such damages if installed in such environment. If required, it is possible to contact us for a special solar
panel which is designed and suitable for such environment .
