2.2
Intended use
The Vaillant solar heating system has been constructed
using state-of-the-art technology in accordance with rec-
ognised safety regulations.
Nevertheless, there is still a risk of injury or danger of
death to the operator or others or of damage to the unit
and other property in the event of improper use or use
for which the unit is not intended.
These components of the Vaillant solar heating system
are not intended to be used by persons (including chil-
dren) with limited physical, sensory or mental capabili-
ties or insufficient experience and/or knowledge, unless
they are supervised by a person who is responsible for
their safety or have been instructed by this person on
how to use the unit.
Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the unit.
The purpose of the Vaillant solar heating system is to
provide a solar-supported hot water supply.
Vaillant auroSTOR VIH S GB 210/2 S, VIH S GB 260/2 S,
and VIH S GB 310/2 S solar cylinders are unvented, indi-
rectly heated domestic hot water cylinders for solar
heating systems designed for use with gas-fired wall-
hung boilers as per GB standards for hot water supply
systems. The cylinders work with the pressure of the
water supply line and do not need a cold water tank for
their supply.
They are used only to supply potable water heated up to
80 ºC by means of a solar collector array. They may only
be used for this purpose. The cylinders can be used in
combination with a downstream gas-fired wall-hung
boiler for hot water production in accordance with
GB standards.
Any other use that is not specified in these instructions,
or use beyond that specified in this document shall be
considered improper use.
Any direct commercial or industrial use is also deemed
to be improper.
The manufacturer/supplier is not liable for any claims or
damage resulting from improper use. The user alone
bears the risk.
Intended use includes the following:
– observance of accompanying operating, installation and
servicing instructions for Vaillant products as well as for
other parts and components of the system
.
– compliance with all inspection and maintenance condi-
tions listed in the instructions.
Improper use of any kind is prohibited!
At the end of these instructions there is a commission-
ing report which you must fill in and hand over to the
operator.
All installers should have a current ID card and registra-
tion number. The cylinder must be installed by a compe-
tent person approved at the time by the Health and
Safety Executive to the prevailing standards, installation
book and building regulations at the time of installation.
2.3 General

Risk of death due to lack of safety devices
A lack of safety devices (e.g. expansion relief valve,
expansion vessel) can lead to potentially fatal scalding
and other injuries, e.g. due to explosions.
The schematic drawings included in this document do
not show all safety devices required for correct installa-
tion.
>
Install the necessary safety devices in the system.
>
Inform the operator about the function and position of
the safety devices.
>
Observe the applicable national and international laws,
standards and guidelines.
Safety information on the solar heating system
>
Mount and operate the entire solar heating system in
accordance with the recognised technical regulations.
>
Make sure that all valid health and safety regulations are
observed, especially for work on the roof. Always use fall
protection devices if there is a risk of falling. We recom-
mend the use of a Vaillant safety belt. Observe the acci-
dent prevention regulations of the professional associa-
tions.
>
Earth the solar circuit for potential equalisation and to
protect against overvoltage. Attach earthing pipe clamps
to the solar circuit pipes and connect the clamps to a
potential equalisation bar using 16 mm
2
Cu cable.
