5 Mounting
Risk of injury when lifting the inverter, or if it is dropped
The inverter weighs 55 kg (121 lb). There is risk of injury if the inverter is lifted incorrectly or
dropped while being transported or when attaching it to or removing it from the wall mounting
bracket.
• Carry and lift the inverter in an upright position
with several people without tilting it. With one
hand grasp the recessed grip, and with the
other hand support the top part of the
enclosure. This will prevent the inverter tipping
forward.
• If the inverter is to be transported and lifted
with a crane, remove the filler plugs on the top
of the inverter and screw the eye bolts into the
threads.
Risk of burns due to hot enclosure parts
Some parts of the enclosure can get hot during operation.
• Mount the inverter in such a way that it cannot be touched inadvertently during operation.
Procedure:
1.
Risk of injury due to damaged cables
There may be power cables or other supply lines (e.g. gas or water) routed in the wall.
• Ensure that no lines are laid in the wall which could be damaged when drilling holes.
2. Align the wall mounting bracket horizontally on the wall and use it to mark the position of the
drill holes. Use at least one hole on the right-hand and left-hand side in the wall mounting
bracket.
3. If the inverter is to be secured from being lifted off of the wall mounting bracket, mark the
position of the drill holes for the screw that attaches the inverter to the wall mounting bracket.
Observe the dimensions of the two anchoring points at the bottom of the inverter rear panel.
4. Set the wall mounting bracket aside and drill the marked holes.
5. Insert screw anchors into the drill holes if the support surface requires them.
6. Secure the wall mounting bracket horizontally using screws and washers.
