Page 6: Product Description
Product description Solar collector FKF The solar thermal collector FKF uses the radiant energy of the sun to heat a heat transfer medium. This glycol-water mixture gives off the heat to a storage via a heat exchanger. The obtained energy can be used for water heating and heating support. - Page 7 Loss of pressure (T=20°C / 30l/h) 6.141 Pa 8.522 Pa 11.217 Pa 4.082 Pa 6.297 Pa 7.988 Pa Hydraulic system of the absorber FKF 200 H FKF 200 V FKF 240 V FKF 270 V FKF 240 H FKF 270 H...

Page 12: Assembly Preparation - Sequence
Assembly preparation - sequence Single-row collector field When assembling single-row collector fields, the collectors will be mounted starting with the respectively outer collector. The exact assembly of the collectors will be described starting with page 29. Single-row collector field Assembly sequence Multi-row collector field When assembling mulit-row collector fields, the collectors which are located one above the other will be mounted first of all. - Page 13 Assembly preparation - sequence Assembly sequence Lip (collector covering) In case of multi-row installations, the collectors have to be mounted adjoining. The lip (collector covering) of the top collector is set over the lower collector. The lip (collector covering) of the lower collector is clamped into the joining area which guarantees an optimum waterflow.

Page 14: Assembly Of The Intermediate Plates/ Multi-Row Collector Fields
Assembly of the intermediate plates/ multi-row collector fields Multi-row collector fields To attain a homogenous appearance of the collector installation, the assembly of sheets between the collectors is possible. The intermediate plates are exclusively assembled due to optical aspects and do not have a functional impact on the installation. - Page 15 Assembly of the intermediate plates By removing the lip (collector covering) at the prepared point the subsequent assembly of the intermediate plates and lateral sheets will be enabled. When assembling the upper collector it is necessary to pay attention that the collector frame of the lower collector is covered by the upper collector.

Fixation with chipboard screws (3 pieces per lath). Placement of the first collector. The exact alignment and fixation happens after laying on and connecting of all collectors. Before the following collector can be layed down the hydraulical collector connector must be mounted at the concisely overhanging collector connection.
- Page 18 Assembly of the solar collectors After placing the first collector the following collector is placed at a distance of 10 to 20 cm beside the first collector. The hydraulic collector connector must be mounted now on the first collector. Afterwards the following collector must be carfully pushed until the hydraulic collector connectors engage into the collector connection.

Page 27: Assembly Eaves Sheet
Assembly eaves sheet Preparation Before starting the assembly of the plate set the collector field must completely be installed hydraulically, rinsed, bled and tested for leak tightness. Stop possible defects before starting assembly of the plate set. Subsequent installation or checking is not possible when the sheets are mounted. Start the assembly of the plate set starts definitively with the left eaves sheet. - Page 28 Assembly eaves sheet Check, before mounting the lateral sheets, if the eaves sheet has an overhang distance of 10 cm from the collector. If necessary, adjust. 10 cm Where the lateral sheet has an overhang fixate the eaves sheet with a nail at the maximum of 8 cm from the top. Where appropriate, a additional rail has to be mounted.
- Page 29 Assembly eaves sheet Eaves sheet extension or eaves sheet right When mounting more than two collectors in one row, install the eaves sheet extension. Depending on the number of collectors as many extensions as needed are installed for all collectors. Finally install the eaves sheet right. The eaves sheet right is pushed under the sealing lip and clicked into the groove of the collector profile.
- Page 30 Assembly eaves sheet Depending on the number of the collectors the next eave plate extensions and accordingly the eave plate must be mounted and fasten on the right side. Fully assembled eaveplates. If the installation of collectors on roofs with flat roof, for example, slate, shingle or Prefa, can be installed to support the eave plate can be installed an additional lath under the eave plate.

Page 31: Assembly Distance Metal Sheet
For the collector types FKF 200 V, FKF 240 V and FKF 270 V, two distance metal sheets are mounted in every gap between the collectors. For the collectors FKF 200 H, FKF 240 H and FKF 270 H, the assembly of one distance metal sheet is planned. -
Page 32: Assembly Lateral Sheet
Assembly lateral sheet Lateral sheets In the next step the lateral sheets will be mounted. They are distinguished for the assembly on the right or the left side as well as for the lateral eaves sheet on the top or below. In case of vertical collectors use two lateral sheets per row (left and right). - Page 33 Assembly lateral sheet Pay attention that the lateral sheet is flush with the bent edge of the eaves sheet and that it is placed in the appropriate groove in the collector profile under the sealing lip (entire length). Before fixating the lateral sheet check if it is in a parallel position to the collector (10 cm).
- Page 34 Assembly lateral sheet Subsequently, the upper lateral sheet is mounted. Ensure that the lateral sheet is placed within the groove in the collector profile under the sealing lip (entire length). Push the upper lateral sheet in that way that the lower one is always overlapped.

Start on the left side when mounting the ridge sheets. First insert the ridge sheet on the left side into the left lateral sheet. Afterwards, the ridge sheet is pushed over the sealing lip.
- Page 37 Assembly ridge sheet Completely mounted ridge sheet left. The support sheets for the next collector are already mounted and fixed. Insert the next ridge sheet in the previous one. Proceed in the same way with every following collector. The last collector in a row has to be completed with the ridge sheet on the right side.
- Page 38 Assembly ridge sheet Finally, stick the supplied sealing wedges on the lateral and ridge sheets directly next to the seam. Ensure that the ground (sheet) is dry, dust and dirt free during the whole application! Depending on the type of roof covering the application of the sealing wedges may not be necessary.
