• Handling instructions are shown as a list. Actions of which the sequential order must be maintained are numbered.
Î Results of actions are identified with an arrow.
1.3 Avoid danger
ROTEX solar systems are constructed to the state of the art and recognised laws of technology. However, improper use may
result in serious physical injuries or death, as well as property damage. To avoid any danger, only install and operate your
ROTEX solar system:
– as stipulated and in perfect condition,
– with an awareness of safety and the hazards involved.
This assumes knowledge and use of the contents of this manual, of the relevant accident prevention regulations as well as the
recognised safety-related and occupational health rules.
1.4 Intended use
The ROTEX solar system may only be used for providing solar heating support to domestic hot water heating systems. The
ROTEX solar system may only be installed, connected and operated in accordance with the specifications of this manual.
Any other use outside the above-mentioned use is considered as improper. Responsibility for any resulting damage will be borne
by the user/owner alone.
Intended use also includes the observance of maintenance and inspection conditions. Replacement parts must at least satisfy the
technical requirements defined by the manufacturer. This is the case, for example, with genuine spare parts.

Working on the roof
• 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.
• Material and tools must be secured against falling.
• 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
• All work on the heating system (such as installation, connection and commissioning) may only be carried out by authorised
and trained heating technicians.
• Switch off the main switch and secure it against unintended switching on when carrying out any work on the heating system.
Electrical installation

The ROTEX solar system can only be operated in conjunction with the RDS1 pressure system, the
Solaris RPS3 P2 control and pump unit, the RPWT1 plate heat exchanger, and the installation materials
intended for it.
