2.1 Observing instructions
This manual is intended for authorised and trained technicians
who have experience in the proper installation and commis-
sioning of solar systems on account of their technical training and
knowledge.
All necessary tasks for the installation, initial start-up, operation
and setting of the system are described in this manual. For de-
tailed information regarding the connected components of your
heating system, please observe the respective documents.
Please read this manual carefully and thoroughly before pro-
ceeding with the installation and initial start-up or modification of
the system.

2.3 Avoid danger
ROTEX solar installations are state-of-the-art and are built to
meet all recognised technical requirements. However, improper
use can lead to serious injuries or death, as well as causing
material damage. Install and operate only ROTEX solar systems
to avoid danger:
– as stipulated and in perfect condition,
– with an awareness of the safety and hazards involved.
This assumes knowledge and use of the contents of this manual,
the relevant accident prevention regulations and the recognised
safety-related and occupational medical rules.
2.4 Intended use
The ROTEX solar system may only be used for solar-supported
heating of hot water systems. The ROTEX solar system must be
installed, connected and operated only according to the instruc-
tions in this manual.
Any other use outside the intended use is considered as im-
proper. The operator alone shall bear responsibility for any re-
sulting damage.
Use as intended also involves compliance with maintenance and
inspection conditions. Spare parts must at least satisfy the tech-
nical requirements defined by the manufacturer. This is the case,
for example, with original spare parts.
2.5 Instructions for working safely
Working on the roof
Ɣ Installation work on the roof may only be carried out by
authorised and trained persons (heating technicians, roofers,
etc.) under observance of the relevant Accident Prevention
Regulations.
Ɣ Material and tools must be secured against falling.
Ɣ Barriers must be erected to prevent persons from entering the
area below the roof where the work is being carried out.
Before working on the heating system
Ɣ All work on the heating system (such as installation,
connection and commissioning) may only be carried out by
authorised and trained heating technicians.
Ɣ Switch off the main switch and secure it against unintended
switching on when carrying out any work on the heating
