NEO 2.1 / SUN 211 3. Description Description Operating principle The short-wave solar radiation (sunlight) striking the solar panel is converted into heat by the selective coating on the absorber. From there it is transferred by heat conduction to the absorber pipe and carried by the heat-transporting fluid to the calorifier.
4 The roof-integral installation set is designed specifically as a mounting system for the NEO 2.1 / SUN 211 flat solar panels and may only be used in accordance with their building regulations approval.
NEO 2.1 / SUN 211 4. Installation 4 The installation set is designed for rooves with standard roof tiles. If the roof in which the panels are to be fitted has particularly high roof tiles, please consult your specialist advisor.

NEO 2.1 / SUN 211 4. Installation 4.2.2. Anchorage fittings for roof mounting The roof anchors are not included in the roof-surface installation set and must be ordered separately. CAUTION Before installation, make sure that the framework is solid and strong enough to comply with the static requirements.
4. Installation NEO 2.1 / SUN 211 n Stainless steel roof anchor for flat tiles EG 315 (4 pieces) EG 316 (6 pieces) These roof anchors are attached directly to the roof rafters (rafter- mounted anchors). Their slim design normally allows two roof anchors to be fixed to one rafter.
4. Installation NEO 2.1 / SUN 211 Installation diagrams 4 Vertical assembly, juxtaposed. Connection for 2 to 5 collectors. CAUTION Place the collector sensor on the flow side of the solar circuit (flow from the hottest collector). A: Solar sensor probe.

4. Installation NEO 2.1 / SUN 211 Solar collector temperature sensor CAUTION Install the temperature sensor in the sensor tube on the solar collector, at the flow end of the bank of collectors. 4 The transfer of heat between the sensor socket and the temperature sensor can be improved by the use of heat- conducting paste.

Connection dimensions Number of panels Size Maximum length (mm) (Outlet + Return) 14-15 40 m 14-15 40 m 16-18 40 m 16-18 40 m To be able to have pipework without degassers or bleed valves at high points, the solar fluid flow rate must not fall below 0,4 m/s during the degassing procedure.
NEO 2.1 / SUN 211 4. Installation 4.8.3. Pipe insulation CAUTION To protect the insulation against mechanical damage, bird pecking and UV light, add extra protection for the heat insulation sleeves in the roof area by using an aluminium sheet sleeve or aluminium adhesive tape. This additional protection must be sealed with silicone.

4. Installation NEO 2.1 / SUN 211 To prevent damage to the collectors and their connections by frost and corrosion, it is essential that a high quality heat transporting fluid be used to fill the solar installation. If the recommended ready-mixed fluid is used (Tyfocor L / LS) the system will be adequately protected at temperatures down to approx.
NEO 2.1 / SUN 211 5. Commissioning Commissioning Check points before commissioning 4 Check the solar collectors and their fastenings. 4 Fill the installation with water and check hydraulic tightness. 4 Check the pressure of the installation. 4 Check the electrical connections, particularly the earth.
6. Checking and maintenance NEO 2.1 / SUN 211 Checking and maintenance General instructions CAUTION Maintenance operations must be done by a qualified professional. An annual inspection is compulsory. Only original spare parts must be used. Protection of the environment: Place a container of sufficient volume under the drain pipe and the valve discharge pipe.
