SAFETY, WARNINGS, INSTALLATION NOTES
It is important you read the following safety and warnings information.
SAFETY AND WARNINGS
•
This water heater is only intended to be operated by persons who have the experience or the knowledge
and the capabilities to do so.
•
This water heater is not intended to be operated by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities i.e. the infirm, or by children. Children should be supervised to ensure they do not interfere
with the water heater.
•
If the power supply cord or plug to the solar storage tank or in-series gas booster is damaged, it must be
replaced by a qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. The power supply cord and plug must be
replaced with a genuine replacement part available from Rheem. Phone Rheem Service or their nearest
Accredited Service Agent to arrange for an inspection.
•
The power leads from the solar storage tank and in-series gas booster must be plugged into weatherproof
electrical outlets. Take care not to touch the power plug with wet hands.
•
This water heater uses 220 V - 240 V a.c. electrical power for operation of the control systems and the
electrically operated components. The removal of the front covers will expose 220 V - 240 V a.c. wiring.
They must only be removed by a qualified person.
•
The solar storage tank is supplied with temperature sensors, a pressure relief valve and a combination
temperature pressure relief valve. The in-series gas booster is supplied with temperature sensors, a
FlameSafe™ protection system and a pressure relief valve. These devices must not be tampered with or
removed. The water heater must not be operated unless each of these devices is fitted and is in working
order.
The Rheem warranty may not cover faults if relief valves or other safety devices are tampered with
or if the installation is not in accordance with these instructions.
•
Do not touch any exposed pipe work or fittings connecting the solar storage tank and the solar collectors,
as this may result in a burn injury. Very high temperature closed circuit fluid and in some circumstances
high temperature steam can be generated by the solar collectors under certain conditions and this flows
through the pipe work from the solar collectors to the solar storage tank.
Note: Any exposed pipe work or fittings in the collector circuit should be attended to and covered with
insulation. Phone Rheem Service or their nearest Accredited Service Agent to arrange for an inspection.
•
The circulator will operate whilst suitable solar conditions are available until water in the solar storage tank
is heated to 75°C during normal operation. During times of low solar energy gain or if boosting of the water
temperature is required, the in-series booster water heater will heat the water to its pre-set outlet
temperature setting.
"Solar Operation"
Refer to
•
Temperature controllers or an EZiSET kit must not be fitted to the in-series water heater as part of a solar
water heater system because water at a temperature much higher than the controller or EZiSET setting
can be delivered.
•
The lever on the temperature pressure relief valve and expansion control valve (if fitted) requires to be
operated every six (6) months to clear any deposits and to ensure the valve and its drain line are not
blocked.
"Relief Valves"
Refer to
•
Should the water from the water heater appear blue or if blue closed circuit fluid is noticed around the
base of the water heater, this indicates a leak of the closed circuit fluid from the heat exchanger. The
closed circuit fluid is non-toxic and not hazardous to health. Phone Rheem Service or their nearest
Accredited Service Agent to arrange for an inspection.
