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. 1.1 About these instructions These instructions describe the installation, commissioning, function and operation of the 3-line solar station SolarBloC®...
Due to its design, the station must only be mounted and operated as described in these instructions! Only use PAW accessories with the solar station. Improper usage excludes any liability claims. 2S: two-tank solution 2D: two-roof solution Under the influence of solar radiation, the collectors will heat up considerably.
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].

Safety instructions CAUTION Personal injury and material damage due to overpressure! Closing both ball valves in the primary circuit will separate the safety group from the heat exchanger. A rise in temperature in the storage tank may result in high pressures, which may lead to personal injury and material damage! Only close the ball valves for service and maintenance.
Mounting and installation [specialist] 3 Mounting and installation [specialist] NOTICE Material damage due to high temperatures! Since the solar fluid near the collector can be very hot, the group of fittings must be installed at a sufficient distance from the collector field. It may be necessary to install an intermediate tank in order to protect the expansion tank.

Mounting and installation [specialist] 11. Connect the pipe for the expansion tank to [7.4] and fix the bracket for the expansion tank. 12. Adapt the initial pressure of the expansion tank to the system and connect the expansion tank. Observe the separate instructions for the expansion tank! 13.
Commissioning [specialist] 4 Commissioning [specialist] Please observe the following safety instructions regarding the commissioning of the station: WARNING Risk of burning and scalding! The valves and fittings may heat up to more than 100 °C. Therefore, do not clean or fill the system when the collectors are hot (intense sunshine).
Commissioning [specialist] 4.1 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.

Commissioning [specialist] Airstop The Airstop (vent valve with manual bleeder) is used to vent the solar system. To ensure a perfect venting of the solar circuit, the flow velocity must be at least 0.3 m/s in the flow line. Pipe diameter [mm] Flow rate at 0.3 m/s l/min ∅...
Commissioning [specialist] 4.2 Preparations before flushing 2-tank solution 2-roof solution The solar circuit is flushed in the direction of flow. 1. Disconnect the expansion tank from the solar system. Observe the separate instructions for the expansion tank! 2. Close the return ball valves [1.2|7.1] (90°, see chapter 4.1). 3.
Commissioning [specialist] 4.3 Flushing and filling 1. Open the fill and drain valves [7.3|9.2]. For this, turn the valve [7.3] into position "open", see chapter 4.1. 2. Put the flush and fill station into operation and flush the installation until clear solar fluid exits. Vent the solar installation several times at the vent plug of the Airstop [4.2] until the solar fluid exits without bubbles (see chapter 4.1.)
Page 17
Commissioning [specialist] 6. Open the fill and drain valves [7.3|3.2] by turning the valve [7.3] to position "open", see chapter 4.1. 7. Put the flush and fill station into operation and flush the installation until clear solar fluid exits. Vent the solar installation several times at the vent plug of the Airstop [4.2] until the solar fluid exits without bubbles, see chapter 4.1.
Page 18
Commissioning [specialist] To vent the pump section, carry out the following steps for the two-roof solution: 3. Slowly open the ball valve [7.1] in the return (see chapter 4.1). 4. Switch off the pump of the flush and fill station and close the fill and drain valves [7.3|9.2].
Page 19
Commissioning [specialist] Close the drain valve [9.2] while the filling pump is running and increase the system pressure to about 5 bars. The system pressure is displayed on the pressure gauge. 10. Check the pressure gauge to see whether the system pressure reduces and eliminate leaks where necessary.

Commissioning [specialist] 15. Connect the (optional) controller to the mains and set the solar circuit pump in the manual mode to Max. according to the controller instructions. Let the solar circuit pump run at maximum rotation speed for at least 15 minutes. In the meantime, vent the solar system several times at the vent plug of the airstop until the solar fluid exits without forming bubbles (see chapter 4.1).
Commissioning [specialist] 4.4 Setting the solar installation 1. Set the desired revolution speed of the solar pump depending on the required flow rate. If necessary, the flow rate can be reduced by the ball valve [3.1] (only necessary if the pump is not speed-controlled).
Maintenance [specialist] 5 Maintenance [specialist] 5.1 Replacement / adjustment of the pressure gauge 1. Switch off the controller and secure it against being switched on again. 2. Make sure that the valve [7.3] is closed with a cap. 3. Turn the valve [7.3.] in position "maintenance" by removing the stop screw, see chapter 4.1.
Maintenance [specialist] 5.2 Draining the solar system 1. Switch off the controller and secure it against being switched on again. 2. Open the check valves in the return ball valves [1.2|7.1], by turning them to position 45° (see chapter 4.1). 3.
Maintenance [specialist] 5.3 Deinstallation 1. Drain the solar installation as described in the previous chapter. 2. Disconnect the pipe connections to the solar installation. 3. To remove the solar station from the mounting plate, pull out the clip springs laterally with a screwdriver. 4.

Function of the check valves [Expert] 8 Function of the check valves [Expert] The check valves in this station prevent unwanted gravity circulation within their range of use. The functioning of the check valves depends: on the system height ● on the temperature difference between storage tank and collector ●...
Page 34
Function of the check valves [Expert] Do you need to know it exactly? The density of the solar fluid strongly decreases with increasing temperature. In systems of high system heights and with large temperature differences, the difference in density causes gravity circulation.
