4Installation and maintenance instructions auroTHERM exclusive 0020077989_04
▶Clear out and sufficiently block off the
areas below the roof before the installa-
tion. Use signs, for example, to mark the
hazard area.
▶Only install the products using the fasten-
ing systems that are described in these
instructions.
▶Carry out all of the work steps as de-
scribed in these instructions.
1.3.4 Risk of death and material damage
due to contact corrosion
For roofs or façade sections made of metals
more precious than aluminium (e.g. copper
roofs), contact corrosion may occur on the
anchors. As a result, the anchors may buckle
and the products may fall.
▶Use suitable underlays to separate the
metals.
1.3.5 Risk of burns, scalds and frostbite
due to hot and cold components
There is a risk of burns and frostbite from
some components, particularly uninsulated
pipelines.
▶Only carry out work on the components
once they have reached environmental
temperature.
1.3.6 Risk of injury due to the heavy weight
of the product
▶Make sure that the product is transported
by at least two people.
1.3.7 Risk of burns caused by hot product
surfaces
The products become very hot when the sun
is shining. If you touch the products without
protection, you could burn yourself.
▶Ensure that the collectors are covered
before starting the installation.
▶Remove the sun protection film installed at
the factory only after the solar system has
been started up.
▶Avoid performing installation and mainten-
ance work under direct sunlight.
▶You should preferably perform the work in
the morning.
▶Wear suitable protective gloves.
1.3.8 Risk of injury due to breaking glass
The glass of the collectors may break due to
mechanical impact or torsion.
▶Wear suitable protective gloves.
▶Wear suitable protective goggles.
1.3.9 Material damage due to overvoltage
Overvoltage may damage the solar system.
▶Earth the solar circuit to provide equipoten-
tial bonding and overvoltage protection.
▶Secure the pipe clamps for earthing to the
pipelines.
▶Connect the pipe clamps for earthing to a
busbar using a 16 mm²copper cable.
1.3.10 Material damage due to lightning
Lightning may damage the solar system.
▶Connect the solar system to a lightning
protection device in accordance with the
applicable regulations.
1.3.11 Material damage due to snow falling
from roofs
If the solar system is installed below a slop-
ing roof, then snow falling from the roof may
damage the collectors.
▶Install snow guards above the solar sys-
tem as protection against falling snow.
1.3.12 Material damage caused by a high-
pressure cleaner
High-pressure cleaners may damage the
collectors due to the extremely high pressure.
▶Never clean the collectors with a high-
pressure cleaner.
1.3.13 Risk of material damage caused by
frost
Water residue in the collector may freeze in
frosty conditions and damage the collector.
▶Only fill and flush the solar circuit with our
ready-mixed solar fluid.
▶Check the solar fluid regularly with an anti-
freeze tester.
1.3.14 Risk of material damage caused by
using an unsuitable tool
▶Use the correct tool.
