4. Installation

This product may only be installed by a qualified electrical engineer.

4.1 Contents of the box

The Quattro box contains the following:
Quattro inverter/battery charger
•
Manual
•
Suspension bracket
•
Temperature sensor
•
Warning sticker for battery charging
•
Four fixing screws
•

4.2 Location

The Quattro should be installed in a dry, well-ventilated location, as close as
possible to the batteries. The device should be surrounded by a free space of
at least 10 cm for cooling purposes.
An excessively high environmental temperature has the following
consequences:
shorter lifespan
•
lower charging current
•
lower peak power or inverter shut-down.
•
Never place the device directly above the batteries.
The Quattro is suitable for wall mounting. For mounting purposes, a hook and
two holes are provided at the back of the casing (see appendix G). The
device can be fitted either horizontally or vertically. For optimal cooling,
vertical fitting is preferred.
The inner part of the device should remain accessible after
installation.
The distance between the Quattro and the battery should be as short as
possible to reduce voltage loss across the battery cables to a minimum.
