4 Installation requirements
Please check that all of the conditions listed below are met before installing and
commissioning the Windy Boy 5000 / 6000.
4.1 Installation site requirements
The Windy Boy 5000 / 6000 weighs 63 kg. Please take this weight
into account when choosing the installation site and method of
installation.
The Windy Boy 5000 / 6000 should be installed in a place where it
is not exposed to direct sunlight. An increased ambient temperature
can reduce the yield of the system.
The Windy Boy 5000 / 6000 is designed to be mounted on a vertical wall. If
absolutely necessary, however, the Sunny Boy 3800 can be installed tilted back at
a maximum angle of 45°. For an optimum energy yield and the most convenient
operation, vertical installation at eye-level is preferable. If installing the unit outdoors,
make sure that it is not slanting forward.
We advise against installing the unit in a horizontal position outdoors.
The ambient temperature must not be outside the -25°C to
+60°C range.
