6. Choice of installation location
6.1 General recommendation on installation position
• See characteristics and technical data paragraph to check the required environmental conditions (protection rating, temperature,
humidity, altitude, etc.).
• The installation location shall be easily accessible.
• Installation of the unit in a location exposed to direct sunlight is NOT acceptable. (Add awning in case of direct sunlight installation).
• Final installation of the device must not compromise access to any disconnection devices that may be located externally.
• Do not install in small closed rooms where air cannot circulate freely.
• Always ensure that the flow of air around the inverter is not blocked so as to prevent overheating.
• Do not install in locations where flammable substances or gases may be present (minimum distance 3 m).
• Do not install on wooden walls or other flammable supports.
• Install on a wall or strong structure suitable to bear the weight.
• Do not install in rooms where people live or where the prolonged presence of people or animals is expected, because of the high noise
that the inverter produces during operation. The level of the sound emission is heavily influenced by where the appliance is installed
(for example: the type of surface around the inverter, the general properties of the room, etc.) and the quality of the electricity supply.
• Never open the inverter in the case of rain (even light rain), snow or a level of humidity >95%. Always carefully seal all unused openings.
In case of opening when the unit is wet, avoid any water infiltration inside the unit, either in WB or PM.
• All installations over 6500’ (2,000 meters) must be assessed by FIMER Technical Sales to determine the proper datasheet derating.
• If the GROUNDING KIT is installed, the inverter must be installed in a closed electrical operating area (behind the fences), with access
limited to qualified personnell.
6.2 Tilting admittance
• The installation can be carried out with a maximum inclination as indicated in the figures beside.
OK
30° MAX
Vertical Tilting Horizontal tilting Side Tilting
30° MAX
ATTENTION –AIn case of horizontal installation in outdoor environment consider an installation with a minimum tilt of 3° to avoid
any water stagnation.
6.3 Distances
• Hardware and software maintenance on device entails removing the front cover. Check that the
correct installation safety distances are observed in order to allow routine check and maintenance
operations.
• Provide sufficient working space in front of the inverter that allows to open the front covers (07)(54)
and to make the internal and external connections.
• Install at a height which takes into consideration the weight of the appliance and in a position which is
suitable for servicing, unless suitable means are provided to carry out the operation.
• If possible, install at a height that allows to see the status LEDS (08) easily.
• Respect the minimum distances from objects around the inverter that could prevent the inverter
installation and restrict or block the air flow.
ATTENTION –ADo not install any object (e.g. AC or DC cables) that could be damaged by overheating from outgoing hot air flow
from side fan sections (ΔT= +15 °C compared to ambient temperature). In case of this kind of installation needs, please evaluate the
installation of a proper air deflector. Always respect the minimum distances required.
