Safety instructions
The entire solar system must always be installed and
operated in accordance with recognised technical standards.
IMPORTANT: Risk of falling! Make sure you adhere to the
valid work protection regulations, in particular when working
on the roof. Make absolutely sure you wear anti-fall devices
whenever there is a risk of falling. (We recommend Glow-
worm fall protection systems, item no. 0020054985.) Observe
the accident prevention regulations of the trade associations.
IMPORTANT: Risk of being burned or scalded by hot
components! Install and replace collectors or collector parts
on very cloudy days. Perform installation work on sunny days
only in the morning or evening or with the collector covered.
IMPORTANT: Risk of being burned or scalded by hot solar
fluid or components! Fill and flush the solar
system when the collectors are cold. Cover the
collectors while doing so.
IMPORTANT: Risk of being burned or scalded by escaping
hot steam! Steam can escape from the expansion relief valve
of the solar pump unit if the system is shut down. To avoid
injuries, you must connect the expansion relief valve to a
collecting container with a hose line.
IMPORTANT: A thermostatic mixing valve must be fitted to
the outlet of the cylinder and can be adjusted to the desired
domestic hot water temperature by an installation or service
engineer. Otherwise there is a risk of scalding as the cylinder
outlet temperature at the taps could be up to 85°C.
IMPORTANT: Risk of being burned or scalded by escaping
hot steam! Steam can escape from unblocked automatic
bleeders if the system is shut down. Therefore block all
automatic bleeders after bleeding.
We recommend using the automatic air separator system
supplied as part of Glow-worm optional pipework kit. It works
fully automatically and does not need to be subsequently
blocked. It must be installed in an area however, in which no
steam can enter, preferably in the return pipe nearby the solar
cylinder.
