4.2 LOCATION and CLEARANCE REQUIRED
Refer to Section 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6 before locating the solar cylinder, drain back unit and solar collector.
4.3 INSTALL THE COLLECTOR
Refer to installation instructions supplied with the Solar collector mounting kit to install the collector.
4.4 FIT THE SOLAR CYLINDER - Fig. 12
The cylinder must be installed on a flat vertical wall which is capable of supporting the weight of the full cylinder (see Section
2.3). The cylinder should be secured to the wall using the mounting bracket and fixings supplied.
Note:
The cylinder contains an electrical pump and
consideration to noise transmission through walls and
pipes should be considered when positioning the cylinder.
1. Decide on the position of the cylinder, taking into
consideration the clearances and the maximum
allowed distances from the drain back unit and
collector. Refer to Sections 2.3 and 2.6.
2. Position the template supplied in the required position,
ensuring it is level, (note that the template includes
the minimum clearances required) and mark the
positions of the fixing holes. Drill the holes to suit the
fixing supplied or alternative fixings suitable for the
mounting surface/wall.
3. Secure the mounting bracket to the wall, using the
plugs and screws supplied.
4. Remove the two screws (top of the control panel)
as shown in Fig. 10 securing the cylinder case and
carefully pull off the case.
5. Lift the cylinder and carefully hang it onto the
mounting bracket as shown in Fig. 13
6. Adjust the cylinder on the mounting bracket until
the bottom fixing holes are lined up then secure the
cylinder to the wall with the two screws supplied as
shown in Fig. 14.
