Requirements for Mounting

Requirements for the mounting location:
Danger to life due to fire or explosion
Despite careful construction, electrical devices can cause fires.
• Do not mount the inverter in areas containing highly flammable materials or gases.
• Do not mount the inverter in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
☐ Do not mount the inverter on a pillar.
☐ Do not install the inverter in a living area.
☐ The inverter must be mounted on a solid surface (e.g. concrete, brickwork, free-standing
constructions).
☐ The inverter can be mounted in a position that is directly exposed to solar irradiation. There is,
however, the possibility that the inverter reduces its power output to avoid overheating due to
high temperatures.
☐ The mounting location must be suitable for the weight and dimensions of the inverter (see
Section 14 "Technical Data", page 66).
☐ To ensure optimum operation, the ambient temperature should be between -25°C (-13°F) and
60°C (140°F).
☐ Climatic conditions must be met (see Section 14 "Technical Data", page 66).
☐ The mounting location should be freely and safely accessible at all times without the need for
any auxiliary equipment (such as scaffolding or lifting platforms). Non-fulfillment of these
criteria may restrict servicing.
