Requirements for the mounting location:

• The mounting location must be suitable for the installation of the Sunny Multigate in an industrial enclosure of type 1 or type 3.
• The mounting location must be suitable for the weight and dimensions of the industrial enclosure with 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 (100 ft)
  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 (-40°F) and 25°C (113°F). This will ensure optimal operation of the Sunny Multigate.

Requirements for the industrial enclosure:

• Industrial enclosure with back panel complying with UL50E, Type 3 for outdoor use or Type 1 for indoor use
• Pollution degree 3
• Material: plastic or metal
• Minimum dimensions (W x H x D): 260 mm x 240 mm x 120 mm (10.3 in x 9.5 in x 4.7 in)
• Minimum volume: 19 liters
• Fire protection class: minimum UL 94 5VA
• Operating temperature range: −40°C to +45°C (−40°F to 113°F)
• A warning label with the following text must be available:
  "DANGER - Risk of Electric Shock. Do not remove cover. No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel."
  "DANGER - Hazardous voltage remains for five minutes after disconnecting main power supply."
  

Clearances:

• The minimum clearance of the Sunny Multigate to the outer walls of the metal industrial enclosure is 12.7 mm (0.5 in).

• Within an industrial closure, observe the following clearances to ensure sufficient ventilation:

Recommended clearances

Permitted mounting positions of the Sunny Multigate:

• Only mount the Sunny Multigate horizontally.
