Mounting instructions
When selecting the installation location, observe the following instructions:
• The inverter can be mounted horizontally or vertically.
• The inverter must be installed in a place that is protected from moisture.
• The inverter may not be installed in the presence of flammable materials.
• The inverter may not be installed in a dusty environment.
• The place of installation must be well ventilated. A ventilation system must be
available for installations in small, enclosed spaces. The minimum clearance
around the inverter must be at least 25 cm (fig. 2, page 3).
• The air intake on the underside or the air outlet on the back of the inverter must
remain clear.
• For ambient temperatures higher than 50 °C (such as in engine or heating
compartments, or direct sunlight), the heat from the inverter under load can lead
to automatic shutdown.
• The device must be installed on a level and sufficiently sturdy surface.
