Choosing the installation location

DANGER
Risk of fatal injury due to fire or explosions!
Fire caused by flammable or explosive materials in the vicinity of the device can lead to serious injuries.
Do not mount the inverter in an area at risk of explosion or in the vicinity of highly flammable materials
CAUTION
Property damage due to gases that have an abrasive effect on surfaces when they come into contact
with ambient humidity caused by weather conditions.
The device housing can be seriously damaged due to gases in combination with air humidity resulting from
weather conditions (e.g. ammonia, sulphur).
If the device is exposed to gases, the installation must be carried out at observable locations.
Perform regular visual inspections.
Immediately remove any moisture from the housing.
Ensure adequate ventilation at the installation location.
Immediately remove dirt, especially on vents.
Failure to follow these warnings may result in damage to the device that is not covered by the
manufacturer's warranty.
NOTE
Access by maintenance personnel for service
Any additional costs arising from unfavourable structural or installation conditions will be billed to the
customer.
Installation space
- As dry as possible, climate-controlled. The waste heat must be dissipated away from the device
- Unobstructed air circulation
- When installing the device in a control cabinet, provide forced ventilation for sufficient heat dissipation
- Close to the ground, accessible from the front and sides without requiring additional resources
- In outdoor areas, protected on all sides from direct weather exposure and sunlight (thermal heating).
Implementation where necessary via constructional measures, e.g. wind breaks
- Make sure that the inverter is installed out of the reach of children.
- To ensure an optimal operation and a long service life, the temperature of the installation environment of the
inverter should be ≤40 °C.
- To avoid direct sunlight, rain, snow and puddling on the inverter, we recommend to install the inverter at locations
with a protective roof. Do not completely cover the top of the inverter.
- The installation conditions must be able to accommodate the weight and size of the inverter. The inverter is suitable
for mounting on a solid wall that is vertical or sloping backwards (max. 15°). It is not recommended to install the
inverter on a wall made of plasterboard or similar materials. The inverter may emit audible noises during
operation.
Installation surface
- Must have adequate load-bearing capacity
- Must be accessible for installation and maintenance
- Must be made of heat-resistant material (up to 90 °C)
- Must be flame resistant
- Minimum clearances to be observed during installation [see Figure 9 on Page 12]
