  • Page 8 It is recommended that the PD1200 series inverter is mounted horizontally (with the display facing up). The PD1200 series inverter may also be mounted vertically (with the AC access panel facing up). In vertical installation, care should be taken to avoid debris from falling into the inverter. For vertical installations it is recommended that a debris shield is installed 3 inches above the DC Access panel to block debris from falling into the inverter while allowing adequate air flow.
  • Page 9 If mounting vertically, mount the PD1200 series inverter so that the DC wiring compartment is facing up (see Figure 6). This will en- sure that the display will be oriented correctly. It is best to ensure that PD1200 series inverter is placed in an area that keeps dust & de- bris from entering the fan area.

    Types of AC Strain Reliefs The PDI inverter includes knockouts for use with a standard 3/8” trade size strain relief. Use of a strain relief is required when hard wiring your inverter. Neglecting to use a strain relief may cause undue stress and fatigue to the wiring connections on your unit. PDI lists examples of some commonly utilized types of strain relief.
