INSTALLATION
1.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE.
The Immergas solar solutions systems are sup-
plied complete for its commissioning with exclu-
sion of fixing systems (e.g. plugs etc.).
The solar collectors are certified and are in com-
pliance with the standards Solarkeymark. They
can be mounted on all roof types or directly on
the ground by means of an additional appropri-
ate structure.
The purpose of this manual is to give general
indications on its installation and relative use of
the complete system.
Installation must be carried out in compliance
with current regulations and by qualified staff.
Installation must be carried out according to the
standards, current legislation and in compliance
with local technical regulations and the enabled
companies.
In the event the pack is installed in damp places,
one must provide an insulation system under-
neath it, to insulate it from the ground.
The place of installation of the appliance and
relative Immergas accessories must have suitable
features (technical and structural) such to allow
(always in safety, efficiency and comfortable
conditions):
- installation (according to the provisions of the
technical legislation and technical regulations);
- maintenance operations (including scheduled,
periodic, routine and special ones);
- removal (to outdoors in the place for loading
and transporting the appliances and com-
ponents) as well as the eventual replacement
of those with appliances and/or equivalent
components.
Before installing the system, ensure that it is
delivered in perfect condition; if in doubt, con-
tact the supplier immediately. Packing materials
(staples, nails, plastic bags, polystyrene foam,
etc.) constitute a hazard and must be kept out of
the reach of children.
In case of failure to use the solar system or pro-
longed absences, cover the collectors to prevent
overheating of the system.
In the event of malfunctions, faults or incorrect
operation, turn the system off immediately and
cover it; it is also necessary to contact an author-
ised company (e.g. the Authorised Technical
Assistance Centre, which has specifically trained
staff and original spare parts). Do not attempt to
modify or repair the appliance alone.Failure to
comply with the above implies personal respon-
sibility and invalidates the warranty.
“Anti-legionella” heat treatment of the Immergas
storage tank (activated by the specific function
present on the predisposed thermoregulatory
systems): during this stage, the temperature of
the water inside the storage tank exceeds 60°C
with a relative risk of burns. Keep this domestic
water treatment under control (and inform
the users) to prevent unforeseeable damage
to people, animals, things. If required install a
thermostatic valve on the domestic hot water
outlet to prevent scalding.
• Installation regulations:
- The control of the entire framework by a statics
expert, according to the Standards in force, is
mostly necessary in areas with large snowfall or
in areas exposed to strong winds. Therefore, all
characteristics of the place of assembly must be
taken into consideration (gusts of wind, vortex
build-up, etc...) which can lead to an increase
of loads on the structures.
- before starting the system, the solar collector
must be covered to protect the absorber from
over-heating and the operator from eventual
burns. The system must only be filled when
all hydraulic connections have been coupled
correctly. It cannot be started until it is possible
to eliminate the heat generated by the solar
collector.
- The collector can be positioned on the basis of
the conditions of the roof (flat or sloping) or in
a prepared free structure. The collector cannot
be positioned with the glass part facing down.
This causes malfunctioning and damage.
- Pay attention not to force or put excessive
traction on the collector connection fittings in
order to prevent damage tot he same and the
internal parts of the collector.
- During movement, use protective gloves and
do not transport the collector holding it by the
connection fittings.
Attention:
- it is in fact obligatory to use antifreeze supplied
by the manufacturer;
- when realising the hydraulic circuit (pipes,
fittings, etc.), only use suitable materials that
resist high temperatures and are suitable for
use with solar systems.
- the use of a boiler involves the installation of a
safety valve, an expansion vessel and a one-way
valve for the appropriately sized domestic hot
water circuit,
these components are not always
included in the package.
N.B.:
if errors occur during installation, running
and maintenance, due to the non compliance of
technical laws in force, standards or instructions
contained in this book (or however supplied by
the manufacturer), the manufacturer is excluded
from any contractual and extra-contractual
liability for any damages and the warranty is
invalidated.
