  • Page 5: Product Description

    Product description Solar collector FKA The solar thermal collector FKA uses the radiant energy of the sun to heat the heat transfer medium. This glycol-water mixture gives off the stored heat via a heat exchanger to a storage. The obtained energy can be used for water heating and heating support.
  • Page 6 Product description Specifications The FKA collector has a pure copper absorber with meander shaped tubes as well as integrated manifolds. The hydraulic system enables to connect 15 collectors in one series and up to six collectors on one side. In one collector field up to 45 collectors can be connected in three rows.
  • Page 7: Hydraulic Connections

    Hydraulic connections Temperature sensor Each collector has a sleeve for inserting a temperature sensor. The sleeve is directly connected with the absorber. If the collectors are installed correctly, the sleeve is always located on the top of the collector on the left. The temperature sensor can be inserted in any collector.

    Assembly bottom support with fixed dowel pin Reliable anchoring of the bottom support with the fixed dowelpin is possible in concrete <c25/25 as well as in natural stone that is resistant to pressure. First install the base console in accordance with the requirements (see page 11).
  • Page 13: Assembly Collectors

    Assembly collectors For the collector assembly, you first set the rightmost or leftmost collector on the mounted and fixed consoles. When mounting the collector ensure that the outer console is covered about 50% by the collector. After the exact orientation the collector is fixed on the outside with fastening plates at the upper and lower elongated hole on the console.
  • Page 14 Assembly collectors Pre-installed compensator with O-ring seal and clamp. Install the upper and lower compensator according to the opposite figure. Now install the next collector on the consoles. Move the collector until the fastening plate “double” hooks into the collector profile. Then fix the fastening plate. Fix the upper and lower compensator with the clamp.
  • Page 15: Temperature Sensor

    Temperature sensor Each collector has a sleeve for inserting a temperature sensor. The sensor is positioned below the upper left manifold or next to the label with the description „top“ on the outside of the collector frame. The sleeve for inserting the sensor is protected with a silicon grommet which has to be centrally opened (using a knife or small screwdriver) before inserting the sensor.

    Assembly roof-tile clamps Completely tiled roof. When mounting the field in regions with high snow load zone of 2 kN/m², it is necessary to place the roof hooks in the rafter area. Removal of the tiles after previous determination of the placement of the roof-tile clamps (see page 10 “Spacing multi-row collector fields“).
  • Page 19 Assembly roof-tile clamps In addition to the grinding of the roof-tile we recommend to use a screw that is mounted on the roof-tile clamp support as distance saver. Finished mounting of screw as distance saver. Caulk, if necessary, the coarsely ground brick with a foam tape against water! Fix the roof-tile clamp with the support 50x150x5 mm using two screws 5x60 mm.
