Limitations And Clauses
A.
I. The solar water heater, parts and fittings are usable up to 10bar pressure/1000kPA.
II. Water runs internally through the high pressure copper pipe inside the mani-
fold, it is therefore not advisable to run swimming pool water directly through
the solar system, as copper can effect water balance of swimming pool.
III. In areas of high lime content the backup electric element should be ‘zinc
alloy’, otherwise Ice solar panels are capable of handling poor water quality.
However, it is advisable to run clean water for extra longevity of all your plumb-
ing hardware including the solar system.
B.
I. The water heater will be installed in accordance with AS/NZS3500.4 including
insulation and piping Copper piping to be used only throughout installed as per
attached instructions.
II. Cylinders to be installed to allow for draining of system, water expansion and
relief of vacuum as per AS/NZS3500.4
III. Drain trays to be installed as per AS/NZS3500.4
IV. In case of hard water buildup of lime may occur on hot areas, ensure element
type is suitable for the water type otherwise softening of water may be required.
C. The system is designed for level 1 and 2 frost protection, if in areas of long term
(extreme frost conditions such as Mount Cook, ie. Well below zero temperatures
for extended seasons, these collectors should then be installed as a draindown,
drainback or closed loop system.
D. Protection to the collectors may be required in areas of vandalism, golf courses, etc.
E. In areas of extreme wind conditions specific engineering design maybe required.
Panels weigh 18.8kg/m2 when fill of water.
F. Solar to be installed as to not compromise the structural integrity of the building.
G. Please use appropriate fixings per roof type as contained in this manual, for roof
types outside of these then refer to Engineering manual otherwise specific engi-
neer design required and be certain that you do not use dissimilar metals that can
cause corrosion.
H. Controller manual and installation man to be supplied to customer on completion.
I. Carefully follow the instructions contained for commissioning of the system.
J. Ensure that all systems have an appropriately (high temperature rated) solar
capable tempering valve and this is set to 55˚C or 45˚C for elderly, schools and
preschools applications.
We recommend a 20mm+ tempering valve for all low-pressure applications.
required for AS2712:2007 2.9.1
