Important Information
General
These instructions must be handed to the user on completion
of the installation.
This installation instruction applies exclusively to the on-roof
mounting of the Clearly Solar, solar collector panel.
The solar collector panel is one component in a solar system
and it is recommended that you read all other component(s)
literature prior to installation.
We accept no liability for any damage caused by failure to
observe these instructions.
Manual Handling
With regards to the “Manual Handling Operations, 1992
Regulations”, this product exceeds the recommended weight
for a one man lift.
Recommend 2 person lift. Ensure safe lifting techniques are
used – keep back straight – bend using legs. Keep load as
close to body as possible. Ensure co-ordinated movements
during lift. Clear the route before attempting the lift. If
removing from truck straddle the load and tilt forwards to
facilitate secure grip. Do not twist – reposition feet instead.
Take care to avoid trip hazards, slippery or wet surfaces and
when climbing steps or ladders. Always use assistance if
required.
Installation of the solar collector panel will require a risk
assessment.
Testing and Certification
This solar collector panel is tested and certificated for safety
and performance. It is, therefore, important that no alteration
is made, without permission, in writing, by Glow-worm.
Any alteration not approved by Glow-worm, could invalidate
the certification, warranty and may also infringe the current
issue of the statutory requirements.
CE Mark
The CE mark on the solar collector panel indicates that
it complies with the basic requirements of the applicable
directives as stated on the data badge.
Damage from lightning
If the installation height is more than 20m or if the solar
panels are projected above the roof ridge, electro-conductive
components must be connected to a lightning protection
device.
Frost Protection
Under no circumstances should water be in the solar collector
panel if there is a danger of frost.
After pressurisation and flushing, the solar collectors panels
may contain water residues.
Immediately fill the solar system with solar fluid. Check
the fluid concentration with a frost protection tester. Water
remaining in the solar circuit may dilute the fluid.
WARNINGS
Metal Parts
This solar panel contains metal parts (components) and care should be taken when handling,
with particular regard to edges.
Risk of death from falls and falling objects
Observe the national regulations for working at heights.
Danger of burning and scalding
In case of solar irradiation inside the units, solar panels can reach 200°C.
Remove the sun protection film installed at the factory only after the solar energy system has been started up.
Sealed Components
Under no circumstances must the user interfere with or adjust sealed parts.
