Preparing to install the collectors

Before beginning actual installation on the roof, preas-
semble the end caps on the ground to make work on the
roof easier.
To secure the end caps (and later the corrugated pipe
connectors and connecting pipes as well), attach brack-
ets to the connections.
SYSTEM DAMAGE
through leaks in the collector connec-
tions.
CAUTION!
The corrugated pipe connectors, con-
necting pipes and collector connections
must not display any signs of damage or
contamination.
B The collector connections have had
special grease applied in the factory
to make installation easier. Do not use
any other grease.
6.1.1 Pipework connections
The collectors must be installed in such a way that the
sensor bushs that receive the collector sensor (Fig. 37,
Item 1) are at the top.

USER NOTE
The water connection pipes can be con-
nected on the right (Fig. 36) or left
(Fig. 37). In this manual, the connection
pipes are shown on the right.
The pipework in the collector is designed as a double
meander, which enables you to carry out two different
water connections:
single-sided connection of up to 5 collectors
Up to 5 collectors can be connected one side of
a collector array (Fig. 36 and Fig. 37).
Two-way connection of up to 9 collectors
If there are more than 5 collectors installed in one
collector array, the water connection must be two-way
(Tichelmann principle, Fig. 38).
The two-way connection can also be made if there are
fewer than 6 collectors (Fig. 38).
If more than 9 collectors are required then a further AGS
pump station is required.
