Safety, Installation and Warranty Requirements

Please ensure that these instructions are read and understood before commencing installation. Failure to comply with
the instructions listed below and details printed in this manual can cause product/property damage, severe personal
injury, and/or loss of life. Ensure all requirements below are understood and fulfilled (including detailed information
found in manual subsections).
Licensed professional heating contractor

The installation, service, and maintenance of this
equipment must be performed by a licensed professional
heating contractor.
Please see section entitled "Important
Regulatory and Installation Requirements"
in the Installation Instructions.
Product documentation

Read all applicable documentation before commencing
installation. Store documentation in a readily accessible
location for reference in the future by service personnel.
For a listing of applicable literature,
please see section entitled
Regulatory and Safety Requirements"
Advice to owner

Once the installation work is complete, the heating
contractor must familiarize the system operator/ultimate
owner with all equipment, as well as safety precautions/
requirements, shut-down procedure, and the need for
professional service annually.
Warranty

Information contained in this and related
product documentation must be read and
followed. Failure to do so renders warranty
null and void.
Grounding/Lightning protection of the solar system

In the lower part of the building, install an electrical
conductor on the piping system of the solar circuit in
compliance with local regulations.
Connection of the solar system to a new or existing
lightning protection or the provision of local grounding
should only be carried out by a licensed professional,
who must take into account the prevailing conditions
on site.
CAUTION
Observe maximum load and distance from edge before
installing the substructure to the roof. If necessary,
consult with a structural engineer to determine if the
structure is suitable for installing solar collectors.
The collectors must be securely mounted so that the
mountings can withstand intense wind conditions and
local snow loads.

Important
Vitosol DHW Solar Pack Installation
CAUTION
Gloves and eye protection must be worn when handling
solar panels.
CAUTION
Solar panel connection pipes and solar heating fluid can
become hot enough to cause severe burns. Extreme
caution must be taken if panels have been in a stagnant
condition (no flow of fluid).
CAUTION
Avoid scratching or sudden shocks to glass cover of the
solar panel.
CAUTION
Never step on collectors or solder in close proximity to
the glass surface of the solar panel.
Applicability

Vitosol solar collectors are designed for use in closed
loop heating systems for domestic hot water heating,
space heating and pool heating via a heat exchanger.
The use of Viessmann heat transfer medium "Tyfocor-
HTL" or equivalent is strongly recommended.
In areas with extremely cold climate conditions,

where outside temperatures may drop below -31°F
(-35°C), the use of Tyfocor-HTL is not recommended.
Use a solar propylene glycol mixture with a higher
concentration of glycol that provides the level of freeze
protection required for the area of the collector
installation.
IMPORTANT
Pool water or potable water should not be pumped
directly through the Vitosol collectors. Damage to
collectors caused by corrosion, freezing or scaling will
void the warranty.
