and correct installation and maintenance of the solar

pump station.

This manual is intended for qualified technicians.

The illustrations in this manual show the 2-line solar

pump station with external controller.

BGive the manual to the customer, and explain how the

device works and how to operate it.

PLEASE OBSERVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

BPlease read these instructions carefully.

BTo prevent injury and property damage, always follow

the safety instructions.

BAny tasks that require the solar pump station to be

opened must be carried out by qualified electricians.

BThe electrical supply must be connected by a

qualified electrician.

BBefore opening the solar pump station, it must be

isolated from the power supply.

2 INFORMATION ABOUT THE PRODUCT

2.1 EU DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY

The design and operation of this product conform to the

applicable European directives and supplementary national

requirements. The conformity has been confirmed.

2.2 CORRECT USE

AGS solar pump stations must only be used for the

operation of solar heating systems in conjunction with

Benchmark places responsibilities on both

manufacturers and installers. The purpose is to ensure

that customers are provided with the correct

equipment for their needs, that it is installed,

commissioned and serviced in accordance with the

manufacturer’s instructions by competent persons and

that it meets the requirements of the appropriate

Building Regulations. The Benchmark Checklist can be

used to demonstrate compliance with Building

Regulations and should be provided to the customer for

future reference.

Installers are required to carry out installation,

commissioning and servicing work in accordance with

the Benchmark Code of Practice which is available from

the Heating and Hotwater Industry Council who manage

and promote the scheme. Visit

INSTALLING PIPEWORK

6 720 643 603 (2011/11)

4 INSTALLING PIPEWORK

4.1 GENERAL INFORMATION

REGARDING PIPEWORK

The collectors, the solar pump station and the solar

storage tank are interconnected with copper pipes.

BTo prevent air locks: route the pipes from the tank to

the collector on a rising incline.

Fig. 4 The piping of the solar heating system

1Wire to the collector temperature sensor

2Collectors

3Solar pump station

4Solar storage tank

CONNECTING THE PIPES

BCopper pipes for solar heating systems should always

be brazed (i.e. no low-temperature soldering).

Compression fittings or pressfittings can be used

instead of brazing if they are glycol- and heat-resistant

(150 °C).

CAUTION: System damage from plastic

pipes (e.g. PE pipes)

BUse only materials which can withstand

the temperatures up to 150 °C which

occur in solar heating systems.

7747006489-05.1SD

CAUTION: System damage from heat

buildup when brazing

BDo not carry out brazing close to

evacuated tube collectors.

We recommend carrying out a pipe network

analysis to determine pipe requirements.

Basic design estimates can be made using

Tab. 4.

BIf there are many additional points of

resistance (bends, valves etc.), you may

need to select a pipe with a larger

diameter.

to temperatures up to 150 °C

(e.g. NeoFermit universal).

4.2 INSTALLATION OF SOLAR PIPEWORK

EARTHING PIPES

Work must be carried out by an authorised electrician.

BOne earthing clamp must be fitted to both the flow

pipe and the return pipe (at any position).

BConnect the earthing clamps to the building's

equipotential bonding strip by means of a standard

PVC-sheathed bonding cable (NYM type, at least

6mm

2).

INSTALLING SOLAR PIPEWORK WITH AN AUTOMATIC

AIR VENT ON THE ROOF (AVAILABLE AS ACCESSORY)

BConnect pipes to the air vent on a rising incline.

For every downwards change of direction an

additional air vent unit is required (heat-resistant

to 150 °C).

Fig. 5 Position of the automatic air vent valve

1Automatic air vent

INSULATING PIPES

BInsulate outdoor pipework with material which is

class O rated, which is resistant to UV and to high

temperatures (150 °C).

BInsulate indoor piping with material which is resistant

to high temperatures (150 °C).

5.1 LAYOUT OF THE INSTALLATION

SPACE

BTo make it easier to connect the temperature sensors:

install the solar pump station (2) as close as possible

to the solar storage tank (1).

BAllow enough room for an expansion vessel (3) and

storage vessel (4).

5.2 MOUNTING THE SOLAR PUMP

STATION

1-LINE SOLAR PUMP STATION

BDrill a hole (2) and mount the solar pump station

using the wall plug and screw supplied.

2-LINE SOLAR PUMP STATION

BDrill holes (1) 60 mm apart and mount the solar pump

station using the wall plugs and screws supplied.

2Mounting for 1-line solar pump station

5.3 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Electrical connections must be carried out by properly

authorised electricians and subject to locally applicable

regulations.

BConnect the cables for the pumps and temperature

sensors to the controller as directed by the

installation instructions for the controller.

CAUTION: Damage to the solar heating

station from pump buildup

BMake sure that the ventilation slots, at

the top and bottom of the thermal-

protective casing, are open.

7747006489.07.1.SD

CAUTION: Damage to pump

BDo not put the pump into operation until

the pipework has been filled. Otherwise

the pump can be damaged.
