DANGER!
Dangertolifeduetopotentialfireorelectricityshock.
Donotinstalltheinverternearanyinflammableorexplosiveitems.Theinverterwillbedirectly
connectedwithhighvoltagepowergenerationdevice.Theinstallationmustbeperformedby
qualifiedpersonnelonlyincompliancewithnationalandlocalstandardsandregulations.
CAUTION!
Dangerofburnsinjuriesduetohotenclosureparts.


•Installtheinvertersothatitcannotbetouchedinadvertently.
Riskofinjuryduetotheheavyweightoftheinverter.
•Taketheinverter'sweightofapprox.17kgintoaccountformounting.
4.1SelectingtheappropriateMountingLocation
Considerthefollowingpointswhenselectingwheretoinstall:
•Themountingmethodandlocationmustbesuitablefortheinverter'sweightanddimensions.
•Mountonasolidsurface.Butdonotmounttheunitonplasterboardwallsorsimilarinorderto
avoidaudiblevibrationsfortheinvertercanmakenoiseswheninuse.








•Verticalinstallationortiltedbackwardbymax.30degreeisallowed.
•Nevermountthedevicewithaforwardtilt,horizontallyorevenupsidedown
•FortheconvenienceofcheckingtheLCDdisplayandpossiblemaintenanceactivities,please
installtheinverterateyelevel.
•Theambienttemperatureofinstallationsiteshouldbebetween‐20°Cand+40°C(between
‐4°Fand104°F).
•Installtheinverterdirectlyexposestostrongsunshineisnotrecommended,theexcessheating
mightleadtopowerreduction.
•Providebetterventilationfortheinvertertoensurethattheheatisdissipatedadequately.
•Thesitealtitudeofinstallationshouldbebelow1000mabovesealevel;morethan1000m
abovethesealevelwillcausederating.
