User Instructions

General Note

We recommend declaring the solar system as an increase

in value to your insurance and insuring it against lightning.

Operation of the solar system

Once the solar system is commissioned it will work automa-

tically, you do not even need to make any adjustments when

you go on holiday.

IMPORTANT: The collectors and pipes can become very

hot – avoid touching them!

IMPORTANT: You must not make any changes to the Flu-

rocyl cylinder, Fluropro control, pipework, power supply, wi-

ring, pressure relief valves or expansion relief valves. The

system operates automatically.

IMPORTANT: Do not switch off the solar system – even

when you go on holiday or assume an error has occurred,the

only exception is if, the solar panels have been damaged,

resulting in a pressure drop in the solar system or solar fluid

escaping.

Do not take out the fuse or switch off the fuse box.

Do not under any circumstances empty or fill the solar circuit

yourself.

Operation of the solar cylinder

The unvented Flurocyl solar cylinder is provided with con-

nections for a solar system as well as an auxiliary cylinder

reheat system.

How to control the solar system is described in the manuals

for each controller.

NOTE: In the event of leaks in the water pipework close the

main cold water stop valve. This is usually located under a

kitchen sink.

IMPORTANT: A thermostatic mixing valve must be fitted to

the outlet of the cylinder and can be adjusted to the desired

domestic hot water temperature by an installation or service

engineer. Otherwise there is a risk of scalding as the cylin-

der outlet temperature at the taps could be up to 85°C.

IMPORTANT: Risk of damage! Do not remove or modify any

components of the solar cylinder.

In the unlikely event of a malfunction occurring of the Flu-

rocyl, such as hot water flowing out of the temperature and

pressure relief valve, switch off the boiler and the immersion

heater and contact Glow-worm or your installer.
