Inverter Mounting (Vertical); Inverter Mounting (Horizontal) - Apollo Solar 3224 User Manual

3.1.2 Inverter Mounting (Vertical)

The TSW Series inverter may be mounted vertically or horizontally. The vertical
configuration is preferable when using the Apollo Solar Switch Gear. Apollo
Switch Gear provides a convenient method for mounting other Balance of
System (BOS) components such as circuit breakers, shunts, etc.
The next section shows dimensions which will aid in mounting the unit. Be sure
to mount on a strong stable surface (some suggestions follow). The next section
details horizontal mounting of the TSW series Inverter.
Please Note, the TSW Series inverter is shipped with the Display/Keypad
mounted for the vertical mounting configuration. To position it for
horizontal mounting, please follow the steps below:
Horizontal mounting is necessary when using the TSW Series Inverter as a replacement for other
inverters with a similar form factor.

3.1.3 Inverter Mounting (Horizontal)

It is recommended that the TSW Inverter be mounted on a ¾" plywood sheet which is nailed or
screwed into the wall studs. Ensure that the plywood spans across three wall studs for adequate
support. Alternately, when mounting horizontal, two 2x4s may be placed 8" on center to mount the
inverter. Again, be sure to span three studs for adequate support.
It is best to locate the Inverter approximately 4 – 5 feet from the floor.
