A.3 Assembling and Installing Frame and Stand
Standard Frame Installations
Installation of a stand is not mandatory, however the tubes must be inclined at a minimum angle
of 25° to ensure the heat can be transferred to the manifold via the heat tubes.
Assembly of the standard frame and connection to the manifold is shown in Appendix G.
Flat or Low-Pitch Roof Installations (less than 25°)
o In the case where the solar collector is to be installed on a flat or low-pitch roof, the standard
Genius frame must be attached to a stand as shown in Appendix G.
Standard or High-Pitch Roof Installations (greater than 25°)
o In the case where the solar collector is to be installed on a high pitch roof, the standard frame
can be attached directly to the roof or to a stand as shown in Appendix F.
Customised Pitch Roof Installations (25° - 65°)
o In the case where a customised installation is desired it is possible to modify the stand and attach
it to the frame. 30mm reduction in leg length equals a 1° change in angle, see figure 1.
Figure 1 – Stand Alteration
A.4 Manifold Header Connections
When viewing the manifold from the front, the inlet is the right hand port and contains a
temperature sensor port. The outlet (As shown below) should be used for temperature sensing.
Using this side as the inlet port can result in the pump cycling too frequently.
NOTE: Place the manifold outlet as close to the hot water cylinder as
possible!
