1. General information
Safety instructions
Your basic equipment should consist of at least:
-
safety shoes
-
helmet
-
safety goggles
-
cut-resistant gloves
Attach ladders at an angle of 65 - 75 ° only to safe supports and also secure them against sinking,
slipping or falling over. Use ladders only to bridge a maximum difference in height of 5m. Do not use
damaged or repaired ladders. The ladder must protrude 1 metre above the roof edge.
In the traffic zone, secure the site with barriers, especially below the installation location.
Use impact or fall protection on the roof or ropes with harnesses attached to a fixed anchor point.
Electrical wires that can be touched by heat pump panels must be disconnected or covered by the
responsible electricity company.
Necessary safety distances from power cables to the worker's working area:
-
safety beam 1 m to 1 kV voltage
-
safety beam 3 m to 110 kV voltage
-
safety beam 4 m to 220 kV voltage
-
safety beam 5 m to 380 kV voltage
Note the large wind surface area of heat pump panels and accessories. Provide a stable surface during
installation. Stop the installation in case of strong gusts of wind.
Provide lightning protection during assembly in accordance with building regulations.
Legal requirements, standards and regulations
The installation must comply with local conditions, local regulations and, last but not least, technical
rules.
The relevant safety regulations (e.g. NEN1010) must be observed.
The mounting material supplied by Triple Solar is TÜV approved and in accordance with Eurocode EN
1991-1-4. Manufacturer's instructions must be observed in order to make a warranty claim.
Permitted load of the panels
The heat pump panels are designed for the following permitted loads:
-
Pressure load (Snow, Wind): 5400 Pa
-
Tensile load (Wind): 2400 Pa
When using third-party mounting systems, these values must be observed.
When using the mounting materials supplied by Triple Solar, the above values apply.
Transport reguations
The heat pump panels may only be supported on the frame via the profiles on the short side of the
panel.
The hydraulic connections as well as the collection tubes and fin packages may not be used to lift the
heat pump panel. Aids such as lifting straps, etc. may not be attached to the pipes.
As long as the heat pump panels are stored, the caps remain on the connections to prevent dirt from
getting into the pipes.
