System Installation 3.1 Unpack and Inspect After confirming that the outer packaging is intact, please carry out the unpacking inspection. Unpack the packaging box and check whether the appearance of the string inverter is in good condition. When opening the package, be careful to use the tool to avoid scratching the string inverter.
User Manual 3.4 Reserved Space Requirement When installing the string inverter, the space around the string inverter must be reserved for heat dissipation and maintenance. ≥2 0 0 m m ≥3 0 0 m m Figure 3-1 Reserved space requirements When installing multiple string inverters in a same surface, the side by side installation is recommended.
3 System Installation 3.5 Installation Method A hanging board is attached to the package of the string inverter. Fixed hanging board should be installed before the inverter is mounted and fastened on the hanging board. According to the actual installation environment, two installation modes can be selected, i.e. column- holding/rod-holding and wall-hanging.
User Manual Before hanging the inverter, please confirm that the bearing range meets the requirements; Hang the inverter on the hanging plate and fasten the plate and inverter from both sides with 4PCS M8 screws (supplied accessories); The installation process ends and the actual effect is as shown below: Figure 3-5 String inverter screw rod mounting diagram 3.5.3 Wall/Bracket Mounting This type of mounting allows the inverter to be mounted on a load-bearing wall or bracket.
