ENERAL SYSTEM SETUP AND OPERATION
General system setup
The solar kit is designed to transfer the heat from the Daikin solar
panels to the heat exchanger of the domestic hot water tank
EKHWS*/EKHWE* and is to be installed in the system as shown in
the scheme below.

Heating system.
Refer to the unit installation manual.
Example of unit
The solar panels (1) catch the heat of the sun. When the temperature
of the glycol solution in the solar panel has become higher than the
water temperature in the domestic hot water tank, the pump of the
solar pump station (2) and the pump of the solar kit (4) start to
operate as to transfer the heat to the heat exchanger of the domestic
hot water tank, unless priority is given to the heat pump. Refer to
"Operating instructions" on page 9 (subsection: Configuring your
system).
WARNING
Due to heat conduction, the piping between heating circuit
and solar kit connection can become very hot.
For this reason this pipe must be made of copper, at least
0.5 m long and insulated.
