INSTALLATION – SYSTEM
THIS WATER HEATER IS FOR OUTDOOR INSTALLATION ONLY, IF AN IN-SERIES GAS BOOSTER IS
MOUNTED ON THE STORAGE TANK.

The system is suitable for installation with 1 x TBT260 or 1 or 2 x HBT 200 solar collector(s). The system is
not suitable for installation above 400 metres altitude.
A single TBT260 solar collector may be installed up to 90° from the optimum orientation when installed as
part of this system.

Zone achieves compliance to new home legislation for water heating. Outside of the compliance zone
2 x HBT200 solar collectors should be used to achieve compliance.
In areas other than Victoria, 2 x HBT200 solar collectors should not be installed with this system.
