Consult or hire professionals in your area for your installation, the lightening arrester should be considered in installation.
INTRODUCTION USB series solar water heaters are all-glass evacuated solar domestic water systems combined with heat pipes. The selective coating in the inner cover of the evacuated tubes ensures high energy absorption and low heat radiance losses, which converts solar energy into heat energy and transfers to the heat pipe by an aluminium fin.

Put the aluminum manifold on the top of the front legs with the link parts. And install the bottom support on the bottom of the front legs. Put the plastic holder of the heat pipes in the bottom support. Fasten the baseboard on the front legs with the bolt and nuts M6×45. Insert the heat pipes: Heat Pipe - 9 -...
Solar Collector Connecting The connecting of the collectors to a collector array can de designed according to the location and position of the system. Different ways of the connecting reflects the different operation efficiency. And generally parallel connection and in series connection is suitable for the collectors as shown with below drawings.

Installation on the roof: The optional reflecting angle for SB series solar collector is 20°, 30° and 40° according to the locallongitude and latitude. Procedures: 1. Put the assembled frame on the roof. 2. Move the tile according to the location of the hole on the front support and baseboard for frame.

Maintenance for the system Maintenance - There’s maybe dust and oil existing in water pipe when installing. Please turn out the tap to get rid of the sundries at the first using. - For collector surface, please do the cleaning regularly according to the local dusty rate. Raining can clean the solar water heater and maintaining a clean surface can be higher collection efficiency.
