Thermo Technologies SMT 100 - Manual (Page 4)

SECTION 2 INSTALLATION
NOTE: This installation procedure is for guidance only, and the installer should
verify its suitability.
It is assumed that the solar equipment is physically installed and tested, and is ready
for operation and connection to the electric supply.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following safety precautions are strongly recommended:
1 Before attempting to install and operate the unit read this instruction manual
carefully.
2 Installation and any maintenance required should only be carried out by
suitably qualified personnel.
3 It is recommended that the unit be connected to the mains supply via a
suitably rated isolating switch.
4 WARNING: When the unit is connected to the mains supply and the cover is
opened, circuits at mains voltage will be exposed. Therefore when installing
the unit ensure all required connections (including battery connection, if
included), are made and covers replaced before turning on the mains supply.
Ensure that all the connections made are secure. If any maintenance work
e.g. installing a new battery, is required ensure that the unit is isolated from
the mains supply before removing the cover. Never leave the unit unattended
if the cover has been removed and the mains supply is connected.
5 Do not exceed unit ratings as shown on the ratings label.
6 It is advisable to route mains cables away from low voltage or sensor cables.
2.1 SMT 100 UNIT
NOTE: For viewing comfort, the control box should be positioned at eye
level. It is always good practice to keep electronic controls away from
extremes of cold, heat and electrical plant, as extremes of temperature may
reduce the lifetime of the device, and heavy electrical loads, switches, relays
or contractors too close to the device may cause electrical and electro-
magnetic interference when switched on or off. It is also recommended that
for clear visibility, the device should be installed away from direct sunlight. (In
the case of a complete “pump-control unit”, the control box is already
installed.
