4. INSTALLATION

This product should be installed by a qualified electrician.
4.2 Location
The product must be installed in a dry and well-ventilated area, as close as possible to the
batteries. There should be a clear space of at least 10cm around the appliance for cooling.
The product is suitable for wall mounting. For mounting see appendix A.
The appliance can be mounted horizontally as well as vertically; vertical mounting is
preferable. The vertical position offers optimum cooling.
Try and keep the distance between the product and the battery to a minimum in order to
minimize cable voltage losses.
Excessively high ambient temperature will result in the following:
Reduced service life.
Reduced charging current.
Reduced peak capacity, or shutdown of the inverter.
Never mount the appliance directly above the batteries.
The interior of the product must remain accessible after installation.
For safety purposes, this product should be installed in a heat-
resistant environment if it is used with equipment where a
substantial amount of power is to be converted. You should prevent
the presence of e.g. chemicals, synthetic components, curtains or
other textiles, etc., in the immediate vicinity.
