ROOF ASSEMBLY OF SOLAR COLLECTORS
Notes:
Penetrations through the roofing material must be:
at the high point of the roof tile or metal sheet
■
made neatly and kept as small as practicable
■
waterproofed upon installation of the solar hot and solar cold
■
pipes.
Exposed insulated pipe work between the solar collectors and the
penetration through the roofing material should be kept to a minimum
to maintain the aesthetics of the installation.
12. Connecting the Solar Cold and Solar Hot Pipes to Collectors: Connect
the solar cold pipe to the connector (10) at the inlet of the solar
collectors (17) and the solar hot pipe to the sensor connector (4) at the
outlet of the solar collectors (17) using the compression nuts (11) and
olives (12) provided.
Refer to
"Coupling Cold and Hot Pipes to Collector – Conetite Fittings"
page 22 and the
13. Hot Sensor Lead – Collector Connection: Insert the sensor probe of the
hot sensor lead assembly (9) into the sensor connector (4), ensuring the
„O‟ ring is in position on the probe. Lock it into position with the locking
washer and clip provided.
Hot Sensor Lead – Solar Storage Tank Connection: Run the hot sensor
lead down to the solar storage tank. An extension sensor lead is available
if the hot sensor lead is not long enough to reach the solar storage tank.
Refer to the Owner‟s Guide and Installation Instructions supplied with the
solar storage tank for the connection detail.
Tanks with top solar connections and integrated solar control unit: Connect
the hot sensor lead to the socket on the hot sensor lead protruding from
the top of the solar storage tank. The short sensor lead adaptor is not
required and can be discarded.
Tanks with side solar connections and separate solar control unit: Connect
the hot sensor lead to the hot sensor cable connecting socket located at
the underside of the solar control unit screwed to the side of the solar
storage tank. It may be necessary to use the short sensor lead adaptor to
enable the mating of the connections. If the short sensor lead adaptor is
not required it can be discarded.
14. Cable Ties: Secure the hot sensor lead at appropriate locations with the
cable ties (14) provided.
