1.1 CHECKLISTMains water supply: Check that the performance of the mains supply matches the requirements of the household.
Boiler: If using a Nu-Heat EnergyMaster cylinder in conjunction with underfloor heating then the heat loading is indicated
on the A3System Information. Please refer to the boiler manufacturers recommendations for installing and commissioning
the boiler. Check the boiler installation requirements with the manufacturer as in some cases a by-pass valve may be
recommended between flow and return pipework.
Insulation of pipework: It is necessary to insulate the solar pipework, as well as the primary system pipework. Domestic
hot water pipework should also be insulated, particularly on a pumped loop. Ensure that the incoming cold main is separatedfrom any hot pipework to prevent heat transfer.
Taking delivery: Please check your delivery against the delivery note and report any discrepancies within 7 days of receipt.
Warranty: In order to validate the warranty the Commissioning Checklist & Warranty Application form in the Commissioning
Packattached to this manual must be completed by the installer and returned to the customer.
recommended installation sequence
The general sequence of installation is as shown in this manual. Before starting check the positions of the main components
such as the cylinder and pump station as discussed at quotation stage.
Please note that if the position of the cylinder has changed with respect to the position of the panels then the length and
diameter of the connecting pipe will change also. Full dimensions of the components supplied are given in this manual.
1. Fit the panels to the roof as part of the roofing work to make the property weather-tight.Note: The panel must be
covered during installation to prevent solar irradiation. Pass flexible hoses and sensor cable through the roof.
2. Complete the first fix wiring in accordance with the diagrams in this manual.
3. Fit the cylinder. The other major plumbing works will need to be completed in order to fill the cylinder with domestic
water, and heating primary water if applicable.
4. Fit solar pump station and expansion vessel.
5. Complete the connection pipework between the cylinder and panel array.
6. 2nd fix the wiring of the solar equipment.
7. Fill and flush the solar circuit.
8. Commission the system in order to allows heat to be drawn from the panels.
Only uncover the panels once this has been done.
Solar docking schematics must be read in conjunction with the system docking drawing which will show the
boiler/heat pump mechanical pipework layout.

2.0 FITTING THE SOLAR PANEL cont.
other important notes
roof loading
The weight of each Heliostar 218 panel is only 35kg and each Heliostar 252
panel is only 36kg. However consideration of additional loads from wind and
snow must also be taken. Consult a structural engineer if there is any doubt as to
the ability of the roof to support the additional load of the solar panel.
lightning protection
The requirement for lightning protection is only necessary when the assessed
risk is greater than 1 in 100,000 according to BS 6651.
installation of sensor
Before finishing work on the roof the solar panel temperature sensor must be
installed. It should be located in the last panel before the return to the cylinder
(i.e the hot outlet, which is the hottest part of the collector array).
To install the sensor remove the rubber bung. Feed the sensor through the hole
in the bung and, after applying some heat conduction paste, insert the sensor
into the pocket and refit the bung.
It is possible to extend the sensor up to 50m using a 0.75mm twin core cable
such as is integrated into the flexible stainless steel flow and return pipe work
(optional).
Important: Prior to installation the collectors should be stored indoors taking
care not to damage the glass. Do not unpack the collectors until just before fitting
to avoid moisture entering into the collector through the holes in the frame.

installation
The pump station is supplied preassembled, and is designed to be fitted to the wall
1. To remove the front of the insulated cover first remove the two dial
thermometers these are just a press fit and pull out. The front will then
lift off.
2. When deciding on the position of the solar pump station enough room
must be left to the right of the pump for the solar expansion vessel. There is
a dedicated fitting for connecting this.
3. Mark the position for the mounting screws (1) horizontally at 150mm centres.
Drill two 8mm diameter holes and insert plastic screw plugs.
4. Fix the back housing to the wall using the screws provided.
5. The pressure gauge comes pre-fitted, however should it be removed at any
point to refit it should be screwed in fully, and then unscrewed until it is the
correct way up. It will self seal.
6. All threaded connections are factory tested, however they must be checked
for water-tightness during the system pressure test.
7. Fix the expansion vessel to the wall using the bracket provided. Take care
when identifying the solar expansion vessel as it is rated for higher
temperatures than standard heating types. The solar expansion vessel
can be identified by the sticker on the vessel itself.
8. The solar expansion vessel should be mounted with the plumbing connection
at the top. The connection is made using the 0.5m flexible hose provided.
Make sure to use the fibre washers, as provided. This pipe must remain
uninsulated, as the heat dissipated protects the vessel from extremely
high temperatures.
9. If desired the solar controller can be detached from the pump station and
mounted in a more convenient location. For details on wiring see Wiring the
solar pump station.

4.1 CONNECTING THE PUMP STATION TO THE PANELS AND CYLINDER
The top connections of the solar pumping station comprise the flow and return to the panel array, whilst the bottom
connections are a flow and return to the cylinder.
flexible stainless steel flow and return pipework
As part of the solar quote there will have been the option of being supplied stainless steel flexible pre-insulated pipe,
complete with sensor cable. This will have been sized according to the length of run, and the required flow-rate, being
available in 16 or 20mm nominal diameter. As part of the kit supplied with this there will be a set of fittings, which should
be used as follows:
Clips will be supplied to fasten the stainless steel flexible pipes, and these should run at approximately 1.5m intervals.
Note:the pipe-work must be earth bonded with a conductor of cross section 6mm2 or more.

4.1 CONNECTING THE PUMP STATION TO THE PANELS AND CYLINDER cont.
double banked panels reverse return fitting
If more than five panels are specified then they must be fitted in two banks. This is because the pressure drop across more
than five panels is too great. If the stainless steel flexible pipe is purchased from Nu-Heat then the necessary additional pipe
will supplied to connect the two banks in the roof.
It is important that the pipe work connecting the two banks is configured in a reverse-return layout in order that the pressure
drop across each bank is equal. This will ensure that the flow through each bank is equal, and that one bank doesnt have
more heat stripped from it that the other.
Note:that the pipe work will pass through the roof before being joined.
If the banks of panels are one above the other then the pipe-work is as the following diagram (the additional components
supplied with the optional stainless steel flexible pipe are shown in red).

If the banks of panels are side by side then the pipe-work is as the following diagram (the additional components supplied
with the optional stainless steel flexible pipe are shown in red).
Note:that the pipes marked 5m length refer to the length of stainless steel pipe where this is supplied. If copper is used
then these pipes need to be of equal length.
It is important that all joints are insulated, and that any material used for this is capable of withstanding 150C. High temperature
nitrile rubber (e.g. Armaflex) is a proven material in this application. This should only be done once the system has been
pressure tested.
making connections with the stainless steel flexible pipe
cutting the pipe
The stainless steel flexible pipe is supplied in standard lengths and can be cut with ordinary (copper) pipe cutters. The cut
should be made in the trough of the corrugation (the minor diameter). The pipe should be left free from burrs to avoid injury.
connecting the stainless steel flexible pipe
In the assembly with the stainless steel pipe will be a connection kit. There are two different styles of connector; eitherMetalflex (assembly codes SPCKR1/16-A or SPCKR1/20-A for single banked systems), or Isiclick (assembly codes
SPCK2/16-A or SPCK2/20-A for double banked systems).
Please see the information overleaf as to how to assemble each of these.

metalflex (spckr1/16-a or spckr1/20-a)
1. Cut the pipe to length as described above
2. Place one of the pipe nuts over the pipe
3. Close one of the retaining clips (circlips) around the pipe in the first crease
4. The first corrugation must be compressed to provide a flat sealing surface. To achieve this assemble the fitting without
the fibre washer and tighten as far as possible.
5. Once the first corrugation has been flattened undo the fitting and fit the fibre washer before finally doing the fitting up tightly.
If a sealant is desired then high temperature liquid PTFE should be used (e.g. Rocol 28022 Pipeseal PTFE Liquid)
alternatives to flexible stainless steel flow and return pipework
If the optional flexible stainless steel pipe has not been chosen then copper may be used. Be aware that any solder joints
must be made with high temperature solder on the solar circuit.
Also, any threaded or compression joints should be sealed with a high temperature liquid PTFE sealant (such as Rocol 28022
Pipeseal PTFE Liquid)
The pipe runs must be insulated both to prevent heat-loss and risk of being burnt. Any material used for this must be
capable of withstanding 150C. High temperature nitrile rubber (e.g. Armaflex) is a proven material in this application.
Copper pipework should be sized as indicated in the following table.
Note:the pipe-work must be earth bonded with a conductor of cross section 6mm2 or more.

5.0 SECOND FIX WIRING
The following pages give information required for the second fix wiring. The
requirements of the relevant British Standards and IEE Wiring Regulations
should always be met.
BS7671: 2001 (2004). Requirements for Electrical Installations, IEE Wiring
Regulations, Building Regulations
electrical safety (part p)
Installation must be carried out by a Competent Person or, failing that, the
local building control authority must be notified of the proposed work before
commencement and the completed installation must be inspected by a
Competent Person.
safety
Nu-Heat recommends the use of a number of 5A switched fused spurs to supply
the boiler and other electrical items that make up the heating system. Where
live conductors are sleeved in a colour other than brown, coloured marker
sleeves should be fitted at the ends of the wires to identify them.
optional additional equipment
Where connections are shown to equipment that is not supplied by Nu-Heat,
this is for guidance only. In all such cases the suppliers installation information
should be checked before fixing and connecting the equipment.

2. There is a prewired plug to connect to the pump to thecontroller. To comply with current best practice this must
be disconnected and rewired as shown in the diagram
above. Please note that the cable used to the pump must
be capable of withstanding 90C. The plug on the pump
must still be used, and this will only fit in the correct
orientation. If the solar controller is to be located
remotely from the pump station then this cable must
be extended as required.
3. To wire in the temperature sensor first switch off the
mains supply to the pump station. Then slide the plastic
cover out, and undo the cover retaining screw.
4. For all systems there are two temperature sensors:a. Sensor S1 is located in the panel (see Fitting the solar
panel). This can be extended up to 50m using 0.75mm
twin core cable. If the (optional) stainless steel flexible
pipe has been chosen then the integral sensor cable
should be use to extend the sensor.
b. Sensor S2 is fitted into the lower sensor pocket on the
cylinder to sense the temperature near to the solar coil.
This can be extended if necessary with 0.75mm twin
core cable.
See solar docking drawings for further details. Note: The sensors are not sensitive to polarity.

6.0 FILLING AND FLUSHING THE SOLAR CIRCUIT
Before filling the solar circuit the cylinder should first be flushed (cleansed) and filled as per the instructions in the relevant
section of the chapter Cylinder installation and filling.
In order to fill and flush the solar system a specialist flushing pump will be necessary, this can be purchased from Nu-Heat.
SAFETY: Please note that if there is any significant solar irradiation, or if the panel has been left uncovered then
there is a scalding risk from the hot fluid. There is also the possibility that if the solar panel has been exposed for
any amount of time that the fluid could flash to steam.
Filling should only ever be done when the system is cold, and when the panel has been suitably covered.
It is necessary to initially flush the system using water, which can also be used for pressure testing. This must then be
drained down and the system filled with antifreeze, and purged of air. This is described below.

12. With the system drained, set up the flushing pump with the antifreeze as in the diagram on the following page, with
the hose removed from the drain valve (5) and replaced on the flushing valve (7).
13. Close the flow ball valve (2) by turning it clockwise. The return ball valve (3) should remain at 45.
14. The inlet to the flushing pump should be put into the antifreeze, as should the outflow hose.
mixing the antifreeze
The antifreeze is supplied in 25 litre drums, filled with 10 litres of antifreeze. The other 15 litres should be filled
completely with water, giving a concentration of 40%.
15. Switch on the filling pump, and open the filling valve (1) and flushing valve (7). Continue to run the pump until there
are no air bubbles at the return to the antifreeze container.Hint: Flush at a pressure of between 3-4 bar. To aid
purging pulse the pump on and off. Also closing the flushing valve (7) to allow pressure to build up, and then
opening it again can help clear air pockets.

16. To vent the pump close the return ball valve (3) and set the flow ball valve to 45. Release the pump vent screw to
make sure the pump rotor is purged. Flush the pump for about a minute.
17. Close the flow ball valve (2) and re-set the return ball valve to 45, and make sure that there is no further air in the system.
18. Once the air has been completely purged close the flushing valve (7) and allow the pressure to rise to 5 bar.
19. Close the filling valve (1), and shut off the pump.
20. Set the flow ball valve (2) to 45 to open the ball valve, and ensure that the return ball valve (3) is also set at 45. Also
make sure that the flow regulating valve (6) is open (the slot in line with the pipe).
21. The system should now be thoroughly checked for leaks at all the joints. The pump station is tested at manufacture,
but should still have all joints inspected for signs of leakage. Leave the system overnight and repeat the inspection.
Note: It is not possible to rely on the pressure gauge reading to indicate the presence of a leak as the expansion of the
fluid may give erroneous indications.
22. Once the pressure test is complete, open the flushing valve (7) to let the pressure down to 1.5 bar, then close the
flushing valve (7).
23. Open the air vent (4) to remove any air from the deaerator.
24. The solar pump should be run to compete the air purging. To do this set both the flow and return ball valves (2&3) to open
(vertical). Switch the power on to the solar pump station. The controller should come on, as indicated by a green LED.
25. To manually bring on the pump press the right hand button until the display reads hP then hold it down. Further options
will become available. Use the right hand button to scroll through these until HND1 is reached. Press the middle
button, and the SET icon will flash.
26. Use the right -hand button to change it from Auto to ON and press the middle button again to confirm the selection.
The pump should start running. Make sure that it is set to speed III.
27. After about half an hour the manual air vent on the de-aerator (4) should be checked again, and then several times
within the first day of running. This will ensure any residual air is removed.
28. After having been left to run in this way for a several hours then the controller should be commissioned so that the solarsystem can start to draw heat from the panels.
29. The flow rate must be adjusted for the solar circuit by varying the pump speed, and using the flow adjusting valve (6).
The flow can be measured on the flow gauge on the pump station. The flow rate should be set to 1 litre/minute per
panel, e.g. 3 a three panel system requires 3 litres per minute.
30. Only at this stage should the cover be removed from the solar panels in order that they can receive solar irradiation.

S MX Maximum store temperature:
The default maximum store temperature is 60C. This may be increased to 70C
in order to get more solar gain from the system.
HND1 Relay 1 operating mode:
Relay 1 controls the solar pump, and the operating mode would usually be
Auto. If the pump is needed to run for maintenance purposes then it can be
switched to ON.
cylinder thermostat and timeclock
(energymaster solar cylinder only)
The EnergyMaster cylinder thermostat should be set to between 6570C.
The boiler thermostat must be set to be 10C higher than the cylinder
thermostat setting.
timing the cylinder for maximum solar gain
The cylinder timeclock should be set in accordance with water usage. If domestic
water is not going to be drawn during the day and it is judged that the solar is
able to heat the cylinder then the boiler can be timed to be off in order to getthe most out of the solar gain. Obviously this will entail different setting for
summer and winter.
If the domestic water capability of the cylinder is sufficient for the early evening
then keeping the boiler timed off will allow further solar gain, with the boiler
then being timed to heat up any deficit for the mornings water usage.
For more information please see theSolar User Guide.

preheat cylinder with 360p exhaust air heat pump and 1240 ground source heat pump only
The preheat cylinder has an immersion heater to provide legionella protection.
protection from bacterial growth, e.g. legionella
With a preheat solar cylinder feeding a Heat Pump the immersion heater at the bottom of the cylinder is designed to
purge the preheat cylinder to protect it from potential legionella growth. The timer controls the immersion heater.
The Heat Pump has an Extra Hot Water temperature boost which should be programmed to be on at the same time as
the cylinder immersion so that the whole storage volume is purged by raising it to 60C.
A purging cycle should be timed for at least once a week (depending on your assessment of risk). It is advised that this is
done over-night so as not to detract from the period of solar gain. This will be set up during the heat pump
commissioning process.
Note: Heating the water will not be dangerous to users, as the blending valve protects users from high temperature water.
For the 200 litre cylinder the purging cycle should be run for 4 hours in order to ensure that the cylinder reaches
the desired temperature.
For the 300 litre cylinder the purging cycle should be run for 6 hours in order to ensure that the cylinder reaches
the desired temperature.
This is the worst case timing. If the cylinder is already hot then the thermostat will switch the immersion heater off when
temperature is reached. The thermostat will be set at 60C during the commissioning process.

APPENDIX 1 AQUASTAR HOT WATER LOOP
The Aquastar2 instant hot water loop (or for larger systems, Aquastar3) may be
used with many modern hot water cylinders to give hot water at the taps without
delay. The hot water loop will remain hot as dictated by the timer settings. Hot water
drawn outside of the set times will take time to flow hot, as if the hot water loop
were not present. The Aquastar hot water loop provides the ideal basis for the
connection of towel rails throughout the house as very little extra plumbing is
required. Heat for the towel rails is drawn from the existing heat reservoir in
the hot water cylinder, usually without the need to bring on the boiler.
Notes:
The Aquastar hot water loop is only suitable for mains pressure hot water cylinders.
Check that the installation of a pumped hot water loop is consistent with local
water bye-laws.
As the towel rails are heated by mains water they must be non-ferrous to prevent
corrosion. The total output from all towel rails connected to the hot water loop must
not exceed 5000 watts. Please contact Nu-Heat if the total output will be greater.
The temperature of the loop, and therefore of the towel rails, is thermostatically
controlled to prevent scalding. On the side of the Aquastar2 circulating pump
there is a thermostat or, on larger systems, there is a separate thermostat
mounted on a nearby pipe.
The return temperature of the hot water loop should be 50C or greater in
accordance with BS6700 and the HSCs Legionnaires disease: The control of
legionella bacteria in water systems Approved Code of Practice and Guidance.
If the temperature of circulation necessary to achieve this poses a significant risk of
scalding then the temperature should be blended as close to the outlet as possible.

Appearance ofpumps may vary
The hot water loop should be run
throughout the year. If it is inactive for
more than a week there is a risk of bacterialgrowth, such as legionella.
5/26/2018 Solarni sistemi
28/40
Careful thought should be given to the layout of the hot
water loop and the fittings used on it. Flow pipework to
bathrooms should be sized according to the hot water
requirements of the household. Typically a small to
medium sized installation will require 22mm flow
pipework, a large installation may require 28mm or greater.
15mm pipe may be used for the last 2 metres where thepipe connects to the Aquastar2 pump (22mm for Aquastar3).
Individual hot water outlets should be fitted with flow-limiting
valves to prevent unnecessarily high water flow rates affecting
the water pressure at critical points such as shower units.
It is recommended that only lockshield valves are used
with towel rails on a secondary hot water loop. Towel rails
should not be isolated from the loop for any significant
amount of time (more than a few days) or there is a risk of
bacterial growth, such as legionella. Fit a balancing valve or
towel rail at the farthest end of each loop. If bathrooms are
to be connected to the hot water loop in parallel, balancing
valves must be fitted on each leg so that balancing betweenbathrooms can be effective (see illustration). The hot
water flow and return pipes should be insulated to prevent
unwanted heatloss. This is particularly important where hot
pipes run alongside the supply pipes to cold tap.

APPENDIX 3 SOLAR DECOMMISSIONING SCHEDULE
energymaster cylinder
Should it be necessary to decommission for maintenance or in the case of a fault
the system the panel will need to be covered to prevent further solar irradiation,
the power supply switched off. The expansion volume of the system should be
sufficient for the system to be left with fluid in it. An engineer should be called
as soon as possible to enable the system to be brought back into normal operation.
The panel covering must be robust enough to stay in place until it is possible
to re-commission the system.
Should it be necessary for any reason to drain the solar circuit this is done as follows:
1. Connect hoses to the filling valve (1), and drain valve (5)
2. Put the outlet of both hoses to waste, as per the following diagram.
3. Set the flow ball valve (2) and the return ball valve (3) to 45 in order to open
the ball valves.
4. Open the drain valve (5) and then the filling valve (1)
5. Allow the solar fluid to drain to waste. Be aware that there may be fluid left in
the panel and the solar coil in the cylinder
6. Close the filling valve (1) and drain valve (5).
7. The panel covering must be robust enough to stay in place until it is possible
to re-commission the system.
