3.2. Site Preparations

Observe the following precautions when mounting and installing the THEIA HE-t inverter on
a suitable site. This is crucial to maintaining the efficiency of the inverter!
3.2.1. Mounting
Sufficient ventilation and appropriate ambient temperatures are needed to prevent temperature
build-up inside the inverter, which could lead to possible power losses.
CAUTION: Avoid enclosed areas with poor air flow!
Insufficient cooling may lead to degradation of performance! Ensure sufficient air
space around the inverter and unblocked ventilation openings for optimum cooling
and efficient operation.

cooling
WARNING: Ensure a suitable mounting surface!
Correct installation prevents the inverter from falling from the wall. The mounting
surface must be suitable for the weight (20-22 kg / 44-49 lbs.) and temperature (90°
C / 194° F) of the inverter.
• The inverter must be mounted in a vertical position.
• Keep the lower cover closed when mounting the inverter to avoid damage to internal
components.
• It is recommended that the inverters are not installed in living areas due to possible noise
levels of the inverters.
• For ease of inspection and maintenance of the inverter, the display should be at eye-level,
and the product label must be visible and the connection area readily accessible.
