Mounting the Inverter

The inverter base can reach a temperature up to 90°C (194°F) and should be mounted on a non-
combustible surface*. This surface and the mounting hardware must also be capable of supporting
at least twice the weight of the inverter. To meet regulatory requirements, the MS-PE Series must
be mounted in one of the following positions (as shown in Figure 2-2):
• above or under a horizontal surface (shelf or table),
• on a vertical surface (wall) with the DC terminals to the right,
• on a vertical surface (wall) with the DC terminals toward the bottom, the MP-HOOD
(inverter hood) installed on the top, and one of the following installed on the bottom:
ME-CB or MPX-CB (conduit boxes), MS-CEFB (CE fi lter box), MMP-E Series (single inverter
enclosure), or MP-E Series (multiple inverter enclosure).
Info: The ME-CB, MPX-CB, MS-CEFB, MMP-E and MP-E enclosures all prevent material
from falling out the bottom in the event of an internal fi re. The MP-HOOD inverter hood
prevents items from falling inside, causing damage to the inverter.
Info: Magnum provides a backplate for mounting the inverter. These backplates also
provide the ability to mount either the MMP-E Series enclosure (PN: BP-MMP) or the
MP-E Series enclosure (PN: BP-S single plate, or BP-D dual plate).
After determining the mounting position, refer to the physical dimensions as shown in Figure 2-3,
or use the base of the inverter as a template to mark your mounting screw locations. After marking
the mounting screw locations, mount the unit with appropriate mounting hardware.
* Non-combustible surface – A surface made of material that will not ignite, burn, support combustion, or
release fl ammable vapors when subjected to fi re or heat as per the ASTM E136 standard. For the most part,
these are materials that are largely comprised of inorganic materials such as stone, steel, iron, brick, tile
concrete, slate, and glass. Avoid common building materials such as gypsum board, painted surfaces, wall
coverings, and any type of wood.
