4.1 Mounting Location

In order to ensure that the inverter operates properly, the installation environment and
requirements are as follows:

The inverter is intended for outdoor use with IP 65 rating. The installation location
should be cool and in good ventilation. Do not expose the inverter in the direct
sunlight, otherwise, it may result in excessive temperature rise inside the inverter,
downgrading operation of protection circuit and even shutdown due to
over-temperature fault.

Rain and snow do impact on the service life of the inverter, do not install the inverter
in the rain and snow or do some appropriate shelter.

The inverter adopts natural cooling, the ventilation and cooling are very important.
Do not install the inverter in a closed enclosure, otherwise the inverter should be
too hot to operate or even damaged.

The inverter should be installed in the reinforced concrete wall or metal wall that
can bear the weight of the inverter. The inverter must be installed vertically. Ensure
that the installation place does not shaking.

The inverter operation will generate some noise (< 40 dB), it should be installed
away from the residential areas. Ensure that the installation location is convenient
for viewing LED lights and LCD display screen. Sufficient clearances around the
inverter must be reserved for ventilation, cooling, installation, maintenance and safe
access.

Do not install the inverter outdoors in salt areas because it will be corroded there
and may cause fire. A salt area refers to the region within 500 meters from the
coast or prone to sea breeze. The regions prone to sea breeze vary depending on
weather conditions (such as typhoons and monsoons) or terrains (such as dams
and hills).
DANGER! Danger to life due to fire or explosion!
● Do not mount the inverter on flammable construction materials.
● Do not install the inverter in areas where highly flammable
materials are stored.
● Do not install the inverter in areas with a risk of explosion.
CAUTION
Ambient temperature range shall be -25°C to +60°C. It will affect the
inverter output power when the temperature exceeds the limit.
Environmental relative humidity must be in the range of 0% ~ 100%.
