Solar collectors and cylinders are heavy and bulky items and are usually positioned on the roofs of
buildings. Australian State and Territories have a principal Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S)
Act which contains requirements relating to the handling of large, bulky or awkward items and the
prevention of falls from elevated surfaces. Persons installing solar collectors must be aware of their
responsibilities and be adequately trained and qualified, in accordance with local OH&S requirements.

LOCATION

These systems are only suitable for use on buildings up to 10 metres tall.
These systems are only suitable to be used with a roof pitch of up to 10 deg.
WARNING
Select suitable areas of roof on which to install the system. It is essential that the roof structure is suitable for the
solar collector/cylinder combination and can support the weight of these items when full of water. It is the installers
responsibility to ensure the roof can safely support the system and to visually check the roof, and if there is any
damage that requires attention (such as cracked tiles etc), to inform the owner. If this affects the safe installation
of any part of the system, installation should not proceed until the damage has been rectified. Collectors should
be positioned for optimum solar benefit. Refer to the section 'System Orientation and Inclination' on page 16 for
more information.
Sufficient clearances shall allow access to, and removal of, all serviceable parts. Ensure the PTR valve, drain
lines, thermostats and elements have sufficient clearances and are accessible for service and removal. The
information on any data plates must also be readable.
This system is designed to have the gas booster mounted to the storage cylinder using the supplied mounting
components. The location on the roof of the gas booster must meet the requirements of the gas installation code
(AS/NZS 5601)
Clause 6.3.12 and 6.3.13 of AS/NZS 5601 specify requirements for access to a gas appliance.
It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure these requirements are followed.

GAS SUPPLY

The maximum gas consumption of the gas booster and the required gas pressure are shown on the appliance data
plate. If the gas pipe sizing is insufficient the customer will not get the full performance benefit.
Gas pipe sizing must consider the gas input to the gas booster as well as all the other gas appliances on the
premises. The gas meter and regulator must be specified for this gas rate. An approved sizing chart such as the
one in AS/NZS 5601 should be used.
