2.1.1 Instructions for installation

1) Handle the unit carefully.
The inverter uses plastic parts. Handle it gently to protect it from damage.
Also, hold the unit with even strength and do not apply too much strength to the front
cover alone.
2) Install the inverter in a place where it is not affected by vibration easily (5.9m/s
maximum).
Note the vibration of a cart, press, etc.
3) Note on ambient temperature.
The inverter life is under great influence of ambient temperature. In the place of
installation, ambient temperature must be within the permissible range –10 °C to
+50°C. Check that the ambient temperature is within that range in the positions
shown in figure 3).
4) Install the inverter on a non-combustible surface.
The inverter will be very hot (maximum about 150°C). Install it on a non-combustible
surface (e.g. metal). Also leave sufficient clearances around the inverter.
5) Avoid high temperature and high humidity.
Avoid direct sunlight and places of high temperature and high humidity.
6) Avoid places where the inverter is exposed to oil mist, flammable gases, fluff, dust,
dirt etc.
Install the inverter in a clean place or inside a "totally enclosed" panel which does
not accept any suspended matter.
7) Note the cooling method when the inverter is installed in an enclosure.
When two or more inverters are installed or a ventilation fan is mounted in an
enclosure, the inverters and ventilation fan must be installed in proper positions with
extreme care taken to keep the ambient temperatures of the inverters with the
permissible values. If they are installed in improper positions, the ambient
temperatures of the inverters will rise and ventilation effect will be reduced.
8) Install the inverter securely in the vertical direction with screws or bolts.
