Dear Customer, Thank you for choosing a Natural circulation system. You have purchased a modern, quality product that is de- signed to give dependable and safe service and to provide comfort in the home for many years to come. Arrange for your Natural circulation system to be serviced regularly by an authorised Technical Assistance Centre.
GENERAL GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION Make sure that the water-glycol mix in the solar col- lector circuit is able to resist the minimum tempera- tures likely to occur in the place of installation. Check that the product is complete, undamaged and The system can reach very high temperatures.
Over-temperature protection requires an adequate supply of cold water from the mains. IDENTIFICATION systems are identified by: SN TI Storage cylinder data plate SYLBER Via Risorgimento, 13 23900 Lecco (LC) SISTEMA SOLARE A CIRCOLAZIONE NATURALE NATURAL CIRCULATION SOLAR WATER HEATING SYSTEM Mod.

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE CENTRE Topping up or changing the heat transfer liquid For certain maintenance operations (such as replacing pipes or unions or changing the heat transfer liquid) the solar collector (primary) circuit may have to be drained. Proceed as follows: - Connect a hose to the hose union on the filling/drain cock (1).
END USER END USER INSTRUCTIONS The SN TI system is a solar hot water heating system that functions on the principle of natural circulation. The heat transfer liquid therefore circulates by normal convection. The system comprises one or more solar collectors and a jacket type storage cylinder, located above the collector/s. The system does not require any pumps or adjustments.
