Page 6: System Installation
SYSTEM INSTALLATION THIS WATER HEATER IS NOT SUITABLE FOR POOL HEATING. The system is suitable for installation with HBT200, LCS or S solar collectors as part of a direct open circuit system installation. The system is not suitable for installation above 400 metres altitude. - Page 7 INSTALLATION INSTALLATION STANDARDS The water heater must be installed: by a qualified person, and in accordance with the installation instructions, and in compliance with Standards AS/NZS 3500.4, AS/NZS 3000 and all local codes and regulatory authority requirements. In New Zealand, the installation must also conform with Clause G12 of the New Zealand Building Code.

Page 8: Installation - Solar Storage Tank
INSTALLATION – SOLAR STORAGE TANK SOLAR WATER HEATER STORAGE TANK LOCATION The solar storage tank should be installed close to the most frequently used outlet and its position chosen with safety and service in mind. Consideration must also be given to the position of the solar storage tank in relation to the solar collectors. -
Page 9: Solar Collector Location
SOLAR COLLECTOR LOCATION Consideration must be given to the position of the solar collectors in relation to the solar storage tank. There are limitations on both the maximum length of the solar hot and solar cold pipes and the maximum height between the solar storage tank and the solar collectors. - Page 10 SOLAR COLLECTOR LOCATION For an installation of collectors on a pitched roof in a cyclonic or high wind area, a suitable With Pitch frame is required. Refer to your local Solar Distributor for details. The installation of these solar collectors on a suitable frame, subject to the frame‟s design criteria not being exceeded: ...
- Page 11 SOLAR COLLECTOR LOCATION PIPE LENGTHS The solar hot and solar cold pipes between the solar storage tank and the solar collectors shall: be of bendable grade or hard drawn copper tube. Annealed or soft copper shall not be used. Direct Open Circuit System: have a continuous fall from the solar collectors to the solar storage tank.
- Page 12 SOLAR COLLECTOR LOCATION WARNING: Plumber – Be Aware The solar hot and solar cold pipes between the solar storage tank and the solar collectors MUST BE of copper. All compression fittings must use brass or copper olives. The full length of the solar hot and solar cold pipes MUST BE insulated. The insulation must: ...
- Page 13 SOLAR COLLECTOR LOCATION WARNING: Plumber – Be Aware The insulated copper pipe work: should be fixed at suitable locations to prevent or reduce the possibility of noise from water hammer and vibration from occurring is not to be placed or installed in contact with plastic pipe work. Likewise, plastic pipe work is not to be placed or installed in contact with the insulated copper pipe work after the solar circuit is installed.
- Page 14 SOLAR COLLECTOR LOCATION Maximum Height to Collectors – Direct Open Circuit The maximum height of a solar installation, from the solar controller (circulator) to the top of the solar collectors, is determined by the maximum recommended total pipe length for the system and the water supply pressure. The maximum recommended total pipe length of the solar circuit should not be exceeded and a minimum water supply pressure of 200 kPa should be available at the inlet to the system, otherwise the system performance may be...
- Page 15 Warning: The pressure applied to the solar circuit and solar collectors during a pressure test of a direct open circuit system MUST NOT exceed 1000 kPa where HBT200, LCS or S collectors are installed, otherwise damage may result to the solar collectors.

Page 16: Roof Assembly Of Solar Collectors
ROOF ASSEMBLY OF SOLAR COLLECTORS Notes: Warning: This parts kit shall not be used with J, KF, S200 or T200 steel collectors. Use only with collectors which have copper waterways and conetite style connections. These solar collectors have passed the AS/NZS 2712 requirements for resistance to hailstone damage, so it is not normally necessary to fit a guard to a collector. - Page 17 ROOF ASSEMBLY OF SOLAR COLLECTORS Numbers in parentheses refer to items in the diagrams on page 32 (one solar collector installation), page 33 (two solar collector installation) and page 34 (three solar collector installation). DO NOT MODIFY THESE PARTS IN ANY WAY Solar Collector Location: Select a suitable position for the solar collectors.
- Page 18 ROOF ASSEMBLY OF SOLAR COLLECTORS Fixing Collector (Bottom): Ensure the solar collectors (17) are well seated in the collector rail (1). Pitched Roof Installation and Solar Frame – Flat Roof Installation: Clamp the solar collectors (17) (two clamps per collector) to the collector rail (1), using the clamps (13), hex screws, washers and nuts provided.
- Page 19 ROOF ASSEMBLY OF SOLAR COLLECTORS Connector: Fit a connector (10) to the inlet of the solar collector array. Refer to “Coupling Cold and Hot Pipes to Collector – Conetite Fittings” page 22. Sensor Connector: Fit a sensor connector (4) (with hot sensor port) to the outlet of the solar collector array.
