INSTALLATION STANDARDS
The water heater must be installed:
by a qualified person, and
in accordance with the installation instructions, and
in compliance with Standards AS/NZS 3500.4, AS/NZS 3000 and all local
codes and regulatory authority requirements.
In New Zealand, the installation must also conform with Clause G12 of the New
Zealand Building Code.
WATER HEATER APPLICATION
This water heater is designed for use in a single family domestic dwelling for
the purpose of heating potable water. Its use in an application other than this
may shorten its life.
If this water heater is to be used where an uninterrupted hot water supply is
necessary for the application or business, then there should be redundancy
within the hot water system design. This should ensure the continuity of hot
water supply in the event that this water heater was to become inoperable for
any reason. We recommend you provide advice to the system owner about
their needs and building backup redundancy into the hot water supply system.
DIRECT OPEN CIRCUIT SYSTEM INSTALLATION
A direct open circuit system has a collector circuit which is directly connected to
the potable water in the solar storage tank. Potable water from the solar
storage tank circulates through and collects heat gained by the solar collectors
and then circulates back into the solar storage tank.
Warning: Use uncoated DR Brass fittings only as part of an open circuit
system.
Freeze Protection
The system has a level of freeze protection designed to guard the system
against damage from freeze conditions. The system must be installed with the
full length of the solar hot and solar cold pipes insulated to offer protection
against freeze damage (refer to
Freeze conditions occur below 6°C.
The system has NO WARRANTY for freeze damage when installed above
400 metres altitude or if the solar hot and solar cold pipes are not insulated in
accordance with the installation instructions (refer to
page 35). Note: The manufacturer‟s warranty against freeze damage applies
only to systems installed in Australia.
