6. Choice of installation location

6.1 General recommendation on installation position

• See characteristics and technical data paragraph to check the required environmental conditions
(protection rating, temperature, humidity, altitude, etc.).
• The installation location shall be easily accessible.
• Installation of the unit in a location exposed to direct sunlight NOT acceptable. (Add awning in case of
direct sunlight installation).
• Final installation of the device must not compromise access to any disconnection devices that may be
located externally.
• Do not install in small closed rooms where air cannot circulate freely.
• Always ensure that the flow of air around the inverter is not blocked so as to prevent overheating.
• Do not install in locations where flammable substances or gases may be present.
• Do not install on wooden walls or other flammable supports.
• Install on a wall or strong structure suitable to bear the weight.
• Do not install in rooms where people live or where the prolonged presence of people or animals is expected,
because of the high noise that the inverter produces during operation. The level of the sound emission is
heavily influenced by where the appliance is installed (for example: the type of surface around the inverter,
the general properties of the room, etc.) and the quality of the electricity supply.
• All installations over 6500' (2,000 meters) must be assessed by ABB Technical Sales to determine the proper
datasheet derating.

6.2 Tilting admittance

• The installation can be carried out with a maximum
inclination as indicated in the figures beside.

6.3 Distances

• Hardware and software maintenance on device entails removing the front
cover. Check that the correct installation safety distances are observed in
order to allow routine check and maintenance operations.
• Provide sufficient working space in front of the inverter that allows to open
the front covers (06)(07) and to make connections on the wiring box.
• Install at a height which takes into consideration the weight of the appliance
and in a position which is suitable for servicing, unless suitable means are
provided to carry out the operation.
• If possible, install at eye-level so that the status LEDS (08) can be seen easily.
• Respect the minimum distances from objects around the inverter that could prevent the inverter installation
and restrict or block the air flow.
A ATTENTION –
Do not install any object (e.g. AC or DC cables) that could be damaged by overheating
from outgoing hot air flow from top and side fan sections (ΔT= +15 °C compared to ambient
temperature). In case of this kind of installation needs, please evaluate the installation of a proper air
deflector. Always respect the minimum distances required.
