ENGLISH 2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS General Information Safety Instructions Read this entire manual. Failure to follow all the guides, instructions and rules could cause personal injury or property damage. Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service and use of this unit can result in serious injury. WARNING: Never install any valves or shutoff devices in the piping between the collectors and the safety valve. The safety valve is actuated at 87 psi pressure.
3. OPERATION AND SERVICE 3.1 Start-up The hydronic back-up boiler (see Figure 5) and solar storage tank (see Figures 4 & 5), constitute a functional unit. Hot water is generated throughout the year by the solar collectors (see Figure 4). Supplemental heat is provided by the back-up boiler when there is insufficient solar energy available (see Figure 5). The entire heater and hot water system must be filled with water and have adaquate air ventilation.
ENGLISH 5. FAILURES – CAUSES – CORRECTION Failures Causes Correction Inadequate water pressure Shut-off valve is not completely open. Cold or hot water line is obstructed. Boiler temperature is set too low. Recommended 176 to 185 °F / 80 to 85 °C. Heat exchanger is calcified. Program selection at the heater control is not properly selected. Aerator at the extraction point blocked. Flow rate too high. Recommended 2.6-3.9 gal./min. or 9.8-14.8 l/min. Open Shut-off valve. Clean or exchange pipes.
