3. Installation
3.1.1.1 Examples of correct and incorrect installations
≥15°
Figure 3.2 Recommended Installation locations
3.1.2 Other environmental considerations
3.1.2.1 Consult technical data
Consult the specifications section (section 10) for additional environmental conditions
(protection rating, temperature, humidity, altitude, etc.).
3.1.2.2 Vertical wall installation
This model of Canadian Solar inverter should be mounted vertically (90 degrees or
backwards 15 degrees) .
.10.
IP66
≤15°
3.1.2.3 Avoiding direct sunlight
Installation of the inverter in a location exposed to direct sunlight should to be avoided.
Direct exposure to sunlight could cause:
● Power output limitation (with a resulting decreased energy production by the system).
● Premature wear of the electrical/electromechanical components.
● Premature wear of the mechanical components (gaskets) and user interface.
3.1.2.4 Air circulation
Do not install in small, closed rooms where air cannot freely circulate. To prevent overheating,
always ensure that the air flow around the inverter is not blocked.
3.1.2.5 Flammable substances
Do not install near flammable substances. Maintain a minimum distance of three (3) meters
(10 feet) from such substances.
3.1.2.6 Living area
Do not install in a living area where the prolonged presence of people or animals is expected.
Depending on where the inverter 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, the
sound level from the inverter can be quite high.
3.2 Product handling
Please review the instruction below for handling the inverter:
1. The red circles below denote cutouts on the product package.
Push in the cutouts to form handles for moving the inverter (see Figure 3.3).
Figure 3.3 Handles used to move the inverter shown circled in red
2. Two people are required to remove the inverter from the shipping box. Use the handles
integrated into the heat sink to remove the inverter from the carton (see Figure 3.4).
