Installation steps: Step1:Determination of Installation Location and heat-dissipation Space When installing the inverter/charger, ensure enough air flowing through the heat sink. Please leave at least 150mm clearance away from the upper and lower edges. Please see Figure 2-1: Mounting. WARNING: Risk of explosion! Never install the inverter/charger with flooded batteries in a sealed enclosure! Do not install the device in a confined area where battery gas can accumulate.
