The Conergy TS solar water heater is supplied in kit form so that the installer can assemble and connect the solar water heater in various configurations to suit the installation location and user requirements.
Installation Information 1.3.1 Storage Tank & Solar Collectors Conergy TS 300 litre vitreous enamel tank LC collector The potable water storage tank is used to store the heated water ready for household use. It is constructed using high quality vitreous enamel lined low carbon steel to provide long life. The tank is insulated with a high density polyurethane material to ensure minimal heat losses and maximmum structural strength.
The model number of the system is divided into sections to describe the system which you have installed. For example: TS300/4/0/E24/V/E20SB. The first two digits are used to determine the system type eg. TS300/4/O/E24/V/E20SB. TS is a thermosiphon system. The next three digits are used to determine the tank storage volume eg. TS300/4/O/E24/V/E20SB.
This is a normal function and does not harm the system. Water discharge through the pressure valve All Conergy solar water heaters have two pressure valves located within the system configuration. The cold water expansion valve, located in the cold water supply pipe, may release a small amount of water from time to time during the heating cycle of the system.
Review these appliances to determine if the daily usage is greater than the storage volume of the water heater. Depending on the model, our TS system tanks contain 180 or 300 litres of hot water therefore if the customer’s usage is greater than 300 litres within a short period of time, there may be periods where the water temperature is slightly lower than normal.
System Maintenance System Maintenance The Conergy system is designed such that there is little to do regarding system maintenance. Should you decide that you want to inspect the roof mounted system it is essential that you use all safety devices required to ensure your personal safety.

Do not fill the closed circuit system with any toxic solution. Only use the solar transfer fluid as specified by your Conergy TS distributor. There is a real risk to public health if the wrong glycol solar solution is used.
Page 25
The solar transfer fluid is of food grade and non toxic. However, care must be taken when handling not to spill or accidentally consume. Always use the solar transfer fluid as specified by Conergy and outlined above. Every care must be taken to ensure that in installations where rain water is being collected from the same roof, any spilt ST-5 solution is cleaned up immediately so that the ST-5 solution does not contaminate the water in the rain water storage tank.
(N). Do not turn on the power supply until the solar water heater has been filled with water and pressurised. There is a risk of damage to the system if the installation sequence is not followed. Conergy TS Installation Manual...
Gas heater models used with Conergy solar water heater systems must be certified to all local requirements, be automatic ignition and have full flame modulation. Gas heaters other than this type must not be used with a Conergy solar water heater. Particularly fixed pilot and fixed flame models must not be used under any circumstance.
