  • Page 5: Product Description

    Product description Solar collector FKA The solar thermal collector FKA uses the radiant energy of the sun to heat the heat transfer medium. This glycol-water mixture gives off the stored heat via a heat exchanger to a storage. The obtained energy can be used for water heating and heating support.
  • Page 6 Product description Specifications The FKA collector has a pure copper absorber with meander shaped tubes as well as integrated manifolds. The hydraulic system enables to connect 15 collectors in one series and up to six collectors on one side. In one collector field up to 45 collectors can be connected in three rows.

When mounting the field in regions with snow load zone III and higher or with expected increased snow loads, it is necessary to place the roof hooks in the rafter area. Removal of the tiles after previous determination of the placement of the roof-tile clamps (see page 10 „Spacing multi-row collector fields“).
  • Page 13 Assembly roof-tile clamps In addition to the grinding of the roof-tile we recommend to use a screw that is mounted on the roof-tile clamp support as distance saver. Finished mounting of screw as distance saver. Fix the roof-tile clamp with the support 50x150x5 mm using two screws 5x60 mm.

  • Page 15 Assembly roof-tile clamps with lead Place the first mounting tab so that the lower tile is covered. Additionally make sure that the mounting tab is put sideways under the adjacent tiles (bend up mounting tabs sidewise). Mount the roof-tile clamps without covering the lower tile. The roof-tile clamp must not cover the lower tile.

    Assembly collectors Single-row collector field In case of single-row collector fields the collectors are installed starting with the respective outer collector. The precise installation of the collectors is described from page 26. single-row collector field Assembly sequence Multi-row collector field In case of multi-row collector fields the superimposed collectors are installed first of all.
  • Page 23 Assembly collectors Assembly sequence In case of multi-row installations the collectors are 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 so that an optimum waterflow is guaranteed.
  • Page 24 Assembly collectors Multi-row collector fields with distance metal sheets It is possible to assemble metal sheets between the collectors to achieve a homogeneous appearance of the installation. The distance metal sheets are assembled exclusively for optical aspects and do not have any influence on the installation.
  • Page 25 Assembly collectors By removing the lip (collector covering) on the appropriate place the distance metal sheets can easily be mounted. When mounting the upper collector, pay attention that the lip (collector covering) of the lower collector is covered by the upper collector (see figure page 23). The assembly of the collectors is illustrated on the following pages.
  • Page 26 Assembly collectors Placement of the first collector. Place the collector on the upper profile rail and put it down on the lower one. Make sure that the back panel of the collector is not damaged by any protruding parts. The collector is applied to the profile of the collector stop set. The stop set profile has to be mounted so that it can be fixed indented maximal 20 cm from the outer edge of the collector.
  • Page 27 Assembly collectors Before mounting the following collectors, the compensator has to be installed on the flush protruding copper flange. It is important to ensure that the o-ring seal is used for the compensator. 1300001 Collector connection set hydraulical Fixation of the compensator on one side with the clamp. Before tightening of the screw the clamp must be positioned by a rotary motion up and down.
  • Page 28 Assembly collectors Tighten the clamp on the compensator. Pay attention to the correct position of the clamp and the o-ring seals. Install the fastening plates single on the edge and tighten them. Do not exceed the tightening torque of 37 Nm. Tighten the fastening plate double.
