•
User manual
•
Installation manual
•
Suspension bracket
•
Temperature sensor

4.2 Location
The Quattro should be installed in a dry, well-ventilated location, as close as possible to the batteries. The device should be
surrounded by a free space of at least 10 cm for cooling purposes.
An excessively high environmental temperature has the following
consequences:
shorter lifecycle
•
lower charging current
•
lower peak power or full inverter shut-off.
•
Never place the device directly above the batteries.
The Quattro is suitable for wall mounting. For mounting purposes, a hook and two holes are provided at the back of the casing (see
appendix G). The device can be fitted either horizontally or vertically. For optimal cooling, vertical fitting is preferred.
The inner part of the device should remain well accessible after installation.
The distance between the Quattro and the battery should be as short as possible to reduce voltage loss across the battery leads to a
minimum.
Install the product in a heatproof environment.
Ensure therefore that there are no chemicals, plastic parts, curtains or other
textiles, etc. in the direct vicinity.
The Quattro has no internal DC fuse. The DC fuse should be installed outside the
Quattro.
