General Note
We recommend declaring the solar system as an increase
in value to your insurance and insuring it against lightning.
Operation of the solar system
Once the solar system is commissioned it will work automa-
tically, you do not even need to make any adjustments when
you go on holiday.
IMPORTANT: The collectors and pipes can become very
hot – avoid touching them!
IMPORTANT: You must not make any changes to the Flu-
rocyl cylinder, Fluropro control, pipework, power supply, wi-
ring, pressure relief valves or expansion relief valves. The
system operates automatically.
IMPORTANT: Do not switch off the solar system – even
when you go on holiday or assume an error has occurred,the
only exception is if, the solar panels have been damaged,
resulting in a pressure drop in the solar system or solar fluid
escaping.
Do not take out the fuse or switch off the fuse box.
Do not under any circumstances empty or fill the solar circuit
yourself.
Operation of the solar cylinder
The unvented Flurocyl solar cylinder is provided with con-
nections for a solar system as well as an auxiliary cylinder
reheat system.
How to control the solar system is described in the manuals
for each controller.
NOTE: In the event of leaks in the water pipework close the
main cold water stop valve. This is usually located under a
kitchen sink.
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 cylin-
der outlet temperature at the taps could be up to 85°C.
IMPORTANT: Risk of damage! Do not remove or modify any
components of the solar cylinder.
In the unlikely event of a malfunction occurring of the Flu-
rocyl, such as hot water flowing out of the temperature and
pressure relief valve, switch off the boiler and the immersion
heater and contact Glow-worm or your installer.
