Installation
Precautions
Installers need to ensure the following:
The controller must be installed away from water sources such as rain,
leaking pipes, or wet floors; and must not be installed in damp areas like
bathrooms. The controller must have a waterproof enclosure if it is
installed outside.
Make sure the controller is installed away from direct sunlight,
flammable liquids or radiant heat sources.
Power leads must face directly down, not sideways or upwards.
Ensure the controller is in a safe environment for users to inspect
display panel.
Follow instructions carefully when mounting sensors. Incorrect sensor
mounting can lead to a poorly controlled solar hot water system with
safety issues (e.g. overheating; over pressure damage to the plumbing;
freezing damage to the solar collector).
The unit settings are factory programmed to optimise efficiency and
safety. Alteration of the programmed values can lead to dangerous
conditions and/or damage to parts of the solar hot water system.

degrees Centigrade/ Celsius. The Sola-2-3at
TM
