The inverter must only be installed in a location that is:
Dry
Do not allow water or other liquids to drop or splash on it.
Cool
Ambient air temperature should be between 0 and 40ºC
(32 and 105ºF)—the cooler the better within this range.
Ventilated
Allow at least 3" (76 mm) of clearance around the inverter
for air flow. Ensure that the ventilation openings on each
end of the inverter are not obstructed.
Safe
Do not install the inverter in the same compartment as
batteries or in any compartment capable of storing
flammable liquids like gasoline.
Close to
Do not use excessive DC cable lengths: they increase wire
battery
resistance which leads to voltage drop and heating.
Consequently, they reduce available power and run-time.
Longer AC wires are preferable to longer DC wires: voltage
drop is less of an issue and the cost is lower.
Protected
Do not mount the inverter where it will be exposed to gases
from battery
produced by batteries. Battery gases are corrosive, and
gases
prolonged exposure to battery gases will damage the
inverter.
