1 General Information 1 General Information Carefully read these instructions before installation and commissioning. Save these instructions in the vicinity of the installation for future reference. About these instructions These instructions describe the installation, commissioning, function and operation of the solar stations SolarBloC midi (DN 20) and SolarBloC maxi (DN 25) with Premium equipment.
Due to its design, the station must be mounted and operated in a vertical position with upward flow direction of the pump! Only use PAW accessories with the solar station. Improper usage excludes any liability claims. Under the influence of solar radiation, the collectors can get very hot.
2 Safety instructions 2 Safety instructions The installation and commissioning as well as the connection of electrical components require technical knowledge commensurate with a recognised vocational qualification as a fitter for plumbing, heating and air conditioning technology, or a profession requiring a comparable level of knowledge [specialist].

2 Safety instructions CAUTION Personal injury and damage to property due to overpressure! By closing the two ball valves in the primary circuit, the safety group is separated from the heat exchanger. A rise in temperature in the storage tank will cause high pressures which can result in personal injury or damage to property! ...
Secure the housing of the compression fitting ⑤ against distort, in order to avoid damaging the sealing ring. Not included in the scope of delivery! 1. Remove the station from the packaging. 2. Remove the insulating front shell. Example: SolarBloC midi Premium 997xx3xx-mub-en – V01 2020/08...

3 Assembly and installation [specialist] WARNING Risk to life and limb due to electric shock! Prior to commencing electrical work on the controller, pull the mains plug! Only after completing all installation work as well as the flushing and filling, the mains plug of the controller can be plugged into a socket.
4 Commissioning [specialist] 4 Commissioning [specialist] Please observe the following safety instructions regarding the commissioning of the station: WARNING Risk of burns and scalding! The valves and fittings can heat up to more than 100 °C. It is therefore not allowed to flush or fill the installation when the collectors are hot (intense solar radiation).
4 Commissioning [specialist] Flushing and filling the solar circuit The fill and drain valves necessary to flush and fill the installation are integrated in the solar station. Make sure not to wash dirt particles that may be present in the solar installation into the expansion tank.

4 Commissioning [specialist] Airstop The Airstop with manual vent valve is used to vent the solar installation. To ensure a perfect venting of the solar circuit, the flow velocity in the flow line must be at least 0.3 m/s. Pipe diameter [mm] Flow rate at 0.3 m/s ∅...
4 Commissioning [specialist] Preparations before flushing The solar circuit is flushed in the direction of flow. 1. Disconnect the expansion tank from the solar installation. Please observe the separate instructions regarding the expansion tank! 2. Turn the check valve in the flow ball valve [5.2] into operating position (0°, see page 12).
4 Commissioning [specialist] Flushing and filling 1. Put the flush and fill station into operation and flush the solar installation for at least 15 minutes. 2. Vent the solar system several times at the vent plug of the Airstop [4.2] until the solar fluid exits without bubbles (see page 13).

4 Commissioning [specialist] WARNING Risk to life and limb due to electric shock! Check if the sensors and pumps are properly connected to the controller and if the controller housing is closed. Only then, the mains plug of the controller can be plugged into a socket. 10.
5 Maintenance [specialist] 5 Maintenance [specialist] WARNING Risk of burns and scalding! The valves, fittings and the solar fluid can heat up to more than 100 °C. The solar fluid can escape as vapour and cause scalding. Only carry out maintenance work if the collector temperatures are below 50 °C.
5 Maintenance [specialist] Draining the solar installation 1. Switch off the controller and make sure that a restart is not possible. 2. Open the check valves in the flow and return ball valve [5.2|1.2] by turning them into position 45° (see page 12). 3.
The serial number is placed on the safety group of the solar station. In case of a complaint, please send us the entirely completed commissioning report on page 30. SolarBloC midi Premium DN 20 2020/08 997xx3xx-mub-en – V01...

9 Disposal 9 Disposal NOTICE Electrical and electronic devices must not be disposed of in the household waste. For your return, there are free collection points for electrical appliances and, if necessary, additional points of acceptance for the reuse of the devices in your area.
10 Function of the check valves [Expert] 10 Function of the check valves [Expert] Within their application range, the check valves of this station prevent unwanted gravity circulation. The functioning of the check valves depends on: the installation height • the temperature difference between the storage tank and the collector •...
Page 29
10 Function of the check valves [Expert] Do you wish to get further information? The density of the solar fluid decreases with rising temperature. In high installations with large temperature differences, the difference in density will cause gravity circulation. This circulation can lead to a cooling down of the storage tank.
