Requirements for the Installation

Requirements for the Mounting Location:
Danger to life due to fire or explosion
Despite careful construction, electrical devices can cause fires.
• Do not mount the product in areas containing highly flammable materials or gases.
• Do not mount the product in potentially explosive atmospheres.
Requirements in the documents enclosed with each product must be
observed.
This document supplements the documents that are enclosed with each product and does not
replace any locally applicable codes or standards.
• Read and observe the requirements in the documents enclosed with the products in
addition to the requirements stated below.
☐ The system may be installed outdoors. The system components must not be exposed to direct
solar irradiation and must be protected from rain water. When becoming too hot, the system
reduces its power output to avoid overheating.
☐ The system must not be installed in earthquake-prone areas.
☐ The system must not be installed in coastal areas where salt spray is possible.
☐ A solid support surface must be available (e.g. concrete, masonry or wood). When mounted
on support surfaces that are not solid, the product can emit audible vibrations during
operation which could be perceived as annoying.
☐ The mounting location must be suitable for the weight and dimensions of the system
components (see technical data in the enclosed manuals of the individual components)
☐ The mounting location should be freely and safely accessible at all times without the need for
any auxiliary equipment (such as scaffolding or lifting platforms). Non-fulfillment of these
criteria may restrict servicing.
☐ To ensure optimal operation of the system, the ambient temperature must be between -10°C
and +45°C (-14°F to 113°F).
