SECTION 5 |
Clean: The area should be free of dust and fumes. Ensure that there are
no insects or rodents that may enter or block the ventilation openings.
Protection against fire hazard: The unit is not ignition protected
and should not be located under any circumstance in an area that
contains highly flammable liquids like gasoline or propane in an engine
compartment with gasoline-fueled engines. Do not keep any flammable
/ combustible material (i.e., paper, cloth, plastic, etc.) near the unit that
may be ignited by heat, sparks or flames.
Closeness to the battery bank: Locate the unit as close to the battery
bank as possible to prevent excessive voltage drop in the battery cables
and consequent power loss and reduced efficiency. However, the unit
should not be installed in the same compartment as the batteries or
mounted where it will be exposed to corrosive acid fumes and flammable
Oxygen and Hydrogen gases produced when the batteries are charged.
The corrosive fumes will corrode and damage the unit and if the gases
are not ventilated and allowed to collect, they could ignite and cause
an explosion.
Accessibility: Do not block access to the Control Panel. Also, allow
enough room to access the AC and DC wiring terminals and connections
as they will need to be checked and tighten periodically. The unit should
be installed so it is not likely to come into contact with people.
Preventing Radio Frequency Interference (RFI): The unit uses high
power switching circuits that generate RFI. This RFI is limited to FCC
standard FCC Part 15(B), Class A. Locate any electronic equipment
susceptible to radio frequency and electromagnetic interference as far
away from the inverter as possible.
Mounting of The Unit
overall dimensions: The overall dimensions and the location of the
mounting holes are shown in Fig. 5.1.
Mounting orientation: The unit has openings for cooling and
ventilation. It has to be mounted in such a manner so that small objects
should not be able to fall easily into the unit from these openings and
cause electrical / mechanical damage. Safety requirements limit the size
of openings that have a possibility of small objects passing through when
dropped from top.
CAUTIon! Space and ventilation requirements must be met.
ensure there is oVeR 200 mm clear space surrounding the
inverter for ventilation.
ATTENTION! Il faut suivre les exigences d'espace et de ventilation.
Assurer qu'il y a PLUS QUE 200 mm d'espace DÉGAGÉ entourant
l'onduleur pour faciliter la ventilation.
Also, if the internal components overheat and melt / dislodge due to a
catastrophic failure, the melted / hot dislodged portions should not be

able to fall out of the unit on to a combustible material and cause a fire
hazard. Safety requirements limit the size of holes / permit appropriately
sized wire mesh for this protection.

Fig. 5.1 Mounting Dimensions
In order to meet the regulatory safety requirements, the mounting has to
satisfy the following requirements:
• Mount on a non-combustible material
• The mounting surface should be able to support a weight of
at least 60 Kg / 132 lbs.
• Mount horizontally on a horizontal surface (e.g. table top or a shelf).
Please see Fig. 5.2.
Fig 5.2 Mounting Arrangement: Horizontally On Horizontal Surface
• Mount horizontally on a vertical surface: The unit can be mounted
on a vertical surface (like a wall) with the fan axis horizontal and the
DC input terminals facing left. Please see Fig. 5.3 (page 22).
