LOCATION OF PROBES The temperature sensor must be installed in a socket as near as possible to the collector outlet. Make sure that the sen- sor makes good contact with the socket. Materials (sensor, cables, seals and insulation) used to install the temperature sensor must be able to withstand high temperatures (up to 300°C).
UNPACKING THE COLLECTOR The solar collectors are packed in various ways depend- ing on the number of units supplied. A - Individually packaged collectors Pallet contents: - collector - Documentation envelope containing: - certificate of warranty and label with bar code. B - Packages of 5 collectors Pallet contents: - 5 collectors...
HANDLING THE COLLECTOR Once you have removed the outer packaging, proceed as follows to unpack and handle the solar collector: - Remove the PVC wrapping to free the solar collector from the pallet - Tilt the solar collector slightly and grip it at the four points shown (A) to lift it.

FILLING THE CIRCUIT Perform the following steps before starting up the system. 1 - FLUSHING AND SEAL TESTING THE SYSTEM If copper piping has been used and joints have been hot brazed, flush out the system to remove any brazing residues. Seal test the system after you have flushed it out.
Do not fill the system in bright, sunny conditions or if the collectors are hot. Cover the solar collector with the packaging it came in for at least two hours before filling it.

MAINTENANCE The collector must be cleaned and all parts (reflector, glass tubes, etc.) inspected every six months. REPLACING EVACUATED TUBES The evacuated tubes are fully functional when delivered. Nevertheless, if problems occur, they can be replaced quickly and easily. Defective tubes are easy to recognise because their undersides turn white and their surfaces become extremely hot.

REPLACING THE CPC REFLECTOR Our CPC reflectors are manufactured and delivered under the best possible conditions. Nevertheless, if a fault (e.g. a large dent) is found, they can be replaced quickly and easily. Proceed as follows, taking all the necessary precautions, to remove a damaged reflector: - Unscrew and remove the plug (1) from the foot of the collector.
