device is strongly recommend to be used for protection. Only a RCD or RCM of Type B is allowed on
the product’s supply side.
Ensure that there is no electromagnetic interference from other electrical and electronic equipment
at the installation site.
Only use original parts and components. Do not unauthorizedly refit the inverter.
All the electric installation needs to be compliant with the national or local laws and standards.
The temperature of individual parts or the enclosure of the inverter –especially the heat sink– may
become hot during and due to normal operation. Avoid possible burns. Do not touch.
The inverter must be grounded before operation.
Do not unauthorizedly open the inverter cover. The electrical parts and components inside the
inve
rter are electrostatic. Take measurements to avoid electrostatic discharge during relevant
operations.

3.2.2 Installation place
Select the installation place based on the following considerations:
1. When determining the height of the installation, ensure that the line of sight is at the same level as the
LCD display for reading the inverter parameters smoothly (see figure 8A).
2. Select a well ventilated place sheltered from direct sun radiation and rain.
3. Allow sufficient space around the inverter to enable easy installation and removal from the mounting
surface as well as air circulation. (see figure 8B).
4. When installing more than one inverter, please ensure that enough space is kept between the individ-
ual inverters. The recommended spacing left and right of the product are shown in figure 8C. The up-
per and lower side of the inverter should have sufficient space to ensure good heat dissipation.
5. The ambient temperature should range between -25°C ~ 60°C.
6. The installation position should be such that interference from other electrical devices is avoided.
7. The inverter needs to be installed on a firm and sturdy surface, such as a wall surface, and on metal
brackets. The installation surface should be perpendicular to the horizontal line. Please refer to Figure
8D. Install the inverter vertically or backward ≤15°to facilitate heat dissipation. Do not tilt the inverter
forward, horizontally, upside down, forward, backward, nor roll it when you are installing the product.
Do not remove any inverter part or component, otherwise damage to the device and physical injury
may occur.
