Mounting To A Wall - SMA SUNNY CENTRAL STRING-MONITOR US Technical Description

Mounting
4.3 Mounting to a Wall
Make sure that the wall you choose to mount the Sunny Central String-Monitor on is sturdy enough
to support its weight (143 lbs. (65 kg), 146 lbs. (66 kg) or 194 lbs. (88 kg)) over a long period of
time and that the wall is plump. The Sunny Central String-Monitor may also be mounted on stone,
brick, solid walls or wooden stud walls. Use the mounting brackets for mounting on walls. Be sure to
use appropriate type of mounting hardware for the wall material and ensure that the hardware is no
smaller than 1/4 in.
DANGER
Risk of electric shock by drilling into power cables.
Death or serious injuries.
• Check installation location for power cables.
CAUTION
Falling of the Sunny Central String-Monitor may cause injuries.
Crushing of body parts possible.
• Ensure that there are studs in the wall at the places where you intend to drill the
mounting-holes.
• Do not use molly or toggle bolts to mount the Sunny Central String-Monitor to sheet
rock or panelling.
Information for mounting
The diameter of the holes you drill must match the hardware you are using to mount the
Sunny Central String-Monitor.
For example, if you are mounting the Sunny Central String-Monitor to a concrete wall, the
hole diameter should be approximately the same as the outside diameter of the concrete
anchors you intend to use. If you are mounting the Sunny Central String-Monitor on a wall
that has wooden studs inside it, the hole diameter should be the correct size for the lag
screws you intend to use to mount the bracket. It is recommended that the lag screws be
made of stainless steel, and the diameter of the screws closely match the diameter of the
holes in the wall-mounting bracket. Make sure that the screws are long enough to penetrate
the wall to a depth of 1.5 in.
