7 On-Roof Installation 7.1 Collector installation Ensure the mounting brackets are level before securing, see diagram 7.1. Position the collector, protective side uppermost, on the MOUNTING mounting bracket and beneath the clamp, see diagram 7.2. BRACKET NOTE: The design is symmetrical and does not have a top or bottom. - Page 14 7 On-Roof Installation Insert the pipe couplings up to the limit stop into the corresponding openings on the side of the collectors, see PIPE COUPLING diagram 7.3. SECURING CLIP Secure the pipe coupling with the securing clip Place the next collector on the lower mounting bracket. Slide the collector up to the first collector paying attention to the pipe couplings, see diagram 7.4.
- Page 15 7 On-Roof Installation With regards to the hydraulic system you have chosen, insert COLLECTOR SENSOR and secure the hydraulic connections, see diagrams 7.5 and 7.6. Connect the collector Flow and Return to the system circuit. Ensure that all of the following steps have been performed:- - All the connections have been fixed with securing clips.
