Flush Mounting
General mounting and security advice
To avoid optical interferences (fog, condensate) the TitanPower Plus-SU2 collector must be mounted at an
angle between 35 and 75 degrees. For the collector warranty to apply this must be applied.
Statics:
An adequate load capacity of the roof construction must be taken in consideration, because the connection
parts are fixed to the roof structure. In case of specific loads, high wind and/or snow pressures the valuation
of an expert has to be obtained. Please observe the local codes and rules for roof installations.
Lightning protection:
All metallic parts of the solar system must be connected to the ground by a copper cable with an area of at
least 16mm
2
(AWG 5). If lightning protection is already in place the collector system can be connected
directly to it.
Protection against dirt and injury:
Never carry collectors at the pipe ends. Keep dry and clean! Don’t store collectors outdoors!
Rinsing, filling and maintenance:
During installation and setup of the collectors keep them covered to prevent damages. Please consider the
national rules and manufacturer instructions for the use of propylene glycol. Use only water-glycol mixtures
that are appropriate for solar thermal systems.
Operating parameters, maintenance:
The recommended operating pressure should be in a range between 36.3 and 43.5 PSI. The volumetric flow
rate is suggested between 5.28 and 18.5 gallons per 10.76 square feet per hour. Highest approved working
pressure is 47 psi. Solar collectors are usually maintenance-free but the solar system should be checked for
damages and irregularities yearly by a solar thermal installer.
Transport and handling:
Carry collectors with the glass side facing up. Don’t damage the pipe ends. Don’t throw any materials at the
glass plate and be careful of the glass edges. Never touch pipes in case of solar radiation to avoid the risk of
a severe burn
General:
The references shown make no pretence on completeness. In all cases you must comply with the national
rules for mounting, installing and operation of a solar system.
