12 Decommissioning
12.1
Temporarily decommissioning the product
12.1.1 Switching off the solar charging system
▶
Disconnect the product by de-energising it using a parti-

power switches).
12.1.2 Ensuring that frost protection is provided
1.
Only disconnect the solar charger from the power mains
if the heating installation is protected against frost by

Caution.
Risk of damage as a result of heat expan-
sion of the heating water.
As the solar charger is not fitted with an ex-
pansion vessel or expansion relief valve for
the cylinder charging circuit, heat expansion
of the heating water may cause damage.
