ROOF ASSEMBLY OF SOLAR COLLECTORS
14. Connecting the Solar Hot and Solar Cold Pipes to Collectors: Connect
the solar cold pipe to the connector (10) at the inlet of the solar
collectors (17) and the solar hot pipe to the sensor connector (4) at the outlet
of the solar collectors (17) using the compression nuts (11) and olives (12)
provided.
"Coupling Cold and Hot Pipes to Collector – Conetite Fittings"
Refer to
page 31 and the
15. Hot Sensor Lead – Collector Connection: Insert the sensor probe of the
hot sensor lead assembly (9) into the sensor connector (4), ensuring the
'O' ring is in position on the probe. Lock it into position with the locking
washer and clip provided.
Hot Sensor Lead – Solar Storage Tank Connection: Run the hot sensor
lead down to the solar storage tank. An extension sensor lead is available if
the hot sensor lead is not long enough to reach the solar storage tank.
Refer to the Owner's Guide and Installation Instructions supplied with the
solar storage tank for the connection detail.
Tank with side solar connections and side mounted solar control unit:
Connect the hot sensor lead to the hot sensor cable connecting socket
located at the underside of the solar control unit screwed to the side of the
solar storage tank. If a short sensor lead adaptor is supplied taped to the
outside of the plastic bag containing the hot sensor lead assembly, it will be
necessary to use this to enable the mating of the connections. If the short
sensor lead adaptor is not required it can be discarded.
16. Cable Ties: Secure the hot sensor lead at appropriate locations with the
cable ties (14) provided.
Notes:

The hot sensor lead may be cable tied to the outside of the insulation
on the solar pipe work.

Ensure the hot sensor lead is not in direct contact with the solar pipe
work at any point of the collector circuit, otherwise damage to the
sensor lead can occur due to the high temperatures which can be
experienced within the pipe work.

Damage to the hot sensor lead can result in solar gain not being
achieved and the freeze protection system being rendered inoperative.
