2.1.4 Mounting the Inverter

The inverter base can reach a temperature up to 90°C (194°F), and it is recommended that it should

be mounted on a noncombustible surface*. This surface and the mounting hardware must also be

capable of supporting at least twice the weight of the inverter. To meet regulatory requirements,

the MS-PAE Series must be mounted in one of the following positions; as shown in ﬁ gure 2-2:

•

above or under a horizontal surface (shelf or table),

•

or on a vertical surface (wall) with the DC terminals to the right.

•

or on a vertical surface (wall) with the DC terminals toward the bottom with the MP-HOOD

(inverter hood) installed over the exhaust vents (top) and either the ME-CB (Conduit box), MMP

Series (single inverter enclosure), or MP Series (multiple inverter enclosure) is attached to the

inverter's DC end (bottom).

Info: The ME-CB, MMP Series and MP Series enclosures prevent material from falling

out the bottom in the event of an internal ﬁ re and also allow sufﬁ cient ventilation to pre-

vent the inverter from overheating under normal operating conditions. The MP-HOOD

inverter hood helps prevent items from falling inside causing damage to the inverter.

Info: Magnum provides a backplate with a suitable surface for mounting the inverter.

These backplates also provide the ability to mount either the MMP Series enclosure (PN:

BP-MMP) or the MP Series Enclosure (PN: BP-S, Single Plate or BP-D, Dual Plate).

After determining the mounting position, refer to the physical dimensions as shown in ﬁ gure 2-3

or use the base of the inverter as a template to mark your mounting screw locations. After mark-

ing the mounting screw locations, mount the unit with appropriate mounting hardware.

* Noncombustible surface - A surface made of material that will not ignite, burn, support combustion, or

release ﬂ ammable vapors when subjected to ﬁ re or heat as per the ASTM E136 standard. For the most part,

these are materials that are largely comprised of inorganic materials such as stone, steel, iron, brick, tile

concrete, slate and glass. Common building materials such as gypsum board as well as any paint, wall cov-
