Requirements for Mounting the Sunny Multigate


Requirements for the mounting location:

WARNING

Danger to life due to fire or explosion

Despite careful construction, electrical devices can cause fires.

  1. Do not mount the Sunny Multigate in areas containing highly flammable materials or gases.
  2. Do not mount the Sunny Multigate in potentially explosive atmospheres.

WARNING

Danger of fire due to missing external enclosure

The Sunny Multigate is only protected against fire if it is installed in a distribution box. Otherwise, the fire risk could lead to personal injury and property damage.

  1. Only mount the Sunny Multigate in a distribution box.

NOTICE

Damage to the Sunny Multigate from moisture and dust intrusion

Dust or moisture intrusion can damage the Sunny Multigate and impair its functionality. The Sunny Multigate complies with degree of protection IP20 and must always be installed in a distribution box. This ensures that the Sunny Multigate is protected against dust and moisture.

  1. Only mount the Sunny Multigate in a distribution box.
  • The mounting location must be suitable for the installation of the Sunny Multigate in a distribution box.
  • The mounting location must be suitable for the weight and dimensions of the Sunny Multigate Technical Data).
  • The mounting location must be inaccessible to children.
  • AC cable route of the entire PV system with Sunny Multigate: maximum 30 m
    When installing several Sunny Multigate devices in a PV system, you must lay the AC cable of each Sunny Multigate to the respective inverter separately in order to guarantee trouble-free communication between the Sunny Multigate and the inverter.

  • A robust support surface must be available for mounting the device, e.g. concrete, walls. In living areas, ensure that the support surface is not drywall or similar.
  • The mounting location should be freely and safely accessible at all times without the need for any auxiliary equipment (such as scaffolding or lifting platforms). Non-fulfillment of these criteria may restrict servicing.
  • The mounting location should not be exposed to direct solar irradiation.
  • Climatic conditions must be met Technical Data).
  • The ambient temperature must be between -40°C and 25°C. This will ensure optimal operation of the Sunny Multigate.

Clearances:

  • The clearance inside a metal distribution box must be at least 12.7 mm to walls or other components.
  • Within an industrial closure, observe the following clearances to ensure sufficient ventilation:
