Fitting The Side Sections And Intermediate Plates - Vaillant auroTHERM VFK 145/2 H Installation Manual

5 Assembly
After assembly of all rows:
> Remove the red plug from the outlet on the upper-
most row of the collector array.
> Insert the collector sensor into the opening.
> Use a cable tie to prevent the collector sensor from
slipping out.
> Fill the entire collector system. Use the Vaillant filling
trolley to prevent air bubbles.
> Perform a check for leaks.
> Remove the protective film from the collectors.
5.5.6 Fitting the side sections and intermediate
plates
The different side sections and the various intermediate
plates must be fitted in a particular sequence:
– Long side section, left, on the left hand collector on
the lowest horizontal row.
– Long side section, right, on the right hand collector
on the lowest horizontal row.
– First, the vertical intermediate plate, when at least
2 collectors are laid next to one another.
– Horizontal intermediate plates, when at least 2 col-
lectors are laid on top of one another.
– Further long side sections left and right, to complete
each row of collectors.
– Further vertical intermediate plates, when more
than 2 collectors are laid next to one another.
– Further horizontal intermediate plates, when more
than 2 collectors are laid on top of one another.
– In the last row at the top in front of the ridge:
– Short side section left
– Short side section right

If you are fitting two or more collectors next to or on top
of one another, then proceed initially by attaching the
intermediate plates (¬ Figs. 5.26, 5.27). Then attach
the right hand side sections for each row.

> First fit the lower, longer side sections
(¬ Table 5.1/5.3, Item 24/25).
> Remove the film from the longer side sec-
tions.
> Slide the left hand longer side section over
the first collector in the lower horizontal
row.
> Take care that the respective side section
is resting flush with the lower edge of the
collector and is engaged, as any subse-
quent movement will no longer be possi-
ble, due to the adhesion.
> Fit the right hand long side section to the
right hand collector on the bottom hori-
zontal row in the manner just described.
> Fix the longer side sections to the roof
battens with the supplied brackets (1).
