Requirements for the Mounting Location


WARNING

Danger to life due to fire or explosion

Despite careful construction, electrical devices can cause fires. This can result in death or serious injury.

  1. Do not mount the product in areas containing highly flammable materials or gases.
  2. Do not mount the product in potentially explosive atmospheres.
  • The mounting location must be suitable for the weight and dimensions of the product.

  • A solid support surface must be available (e.g., concrete or masonry, free-standing constructions). When mounted on drywall or similar materials, the inverter emits audible vibrations during operation which could be perceived as annoying.

  • Drywall must have a minimum thickness of 25 mm (1 in). This means that double-layer drywall must be used or the drywall must be additionally reinforced (e.g., with plywood, OSB, or chipboard).

  • The installation site can be exposed to direct solar irradiation. There is, however, the possibility that the product reduces its power output to avoid overheating due to high temperatures.

  • The installation site 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 DC load-break switch of the product must always be freely accessible.

  • All ambient conditions must be met.

  • The ambient temperature should be -25°C to +45°C (-13°F to +113°F) to ensure optimal operation.
