Installation
!
Please note
Incorrect installation can lead to collector dam-
age.
Use only gunmetal or brass fittings and copper
pipes for the installation.
Never step on the collectors.
Never solder on or near the collectors.
Route pipes so that complete ventilation is ensured.
■
Install an air separator in the solar flow upstream of
the DHW cylinder.
Note
An air separator is integrated into the flow line of the
Solar-Divicon (see diagram).
Braze copper lines in the solar circuit or join with
■
press fittings.
Soft solder could be weakened, particularly near the
collectors, due to the high temperatures that occur
there. Metal seal connections, locking ring fittings or
Viessmann push-fit connections with double O-rings
are the most suitable.
Should alternative seals be used, such as flat gas-
kets, their manufacturer must give an assurance of
their adequate resistance to glycol, pressure and
temperature.
Make all connections pressure and temperature
■
resistant (observe the maximum stagnation tempera-
ture of the collector).
Never use:
Teflon (inadequate glycol resistance)
–
Hemp connections (insufficiently gas-tight)

■
Equip the system to EN 12975 and EN ISO 9806
with an expansion vessel, safety valve and circula-
tion pump.
The expansion vessel must be approved to DIN
■
4807.
The diaphragms and seals of the expansion vessel
and safety valve must be suitable for the heat trans-
fer medium.
To calculate the pre-charge pressure, see the
"Vitosol" service instructions.
■
For operation without a Solar-Divicon, use only
safety valves that meet the following conditions:
–
Designed for 120 °C and up to 6 bar (0.6 MPa)
Letter ID "S" (solar) in the component identification
–
