3. In all cases, observe the instructions in the pallet truck’s user manual.
Transport using a forklift truck
You must observe at least the following requirements:
1. Place the packaged units centered with respect to the forks.
2. Try to locate them as close as possible to the part where the forks and the steering unit meet.
3. Ensure that the forks are perfectly level to avoid overturning the unit.
4. Observe the instructions in the forklift truck's user manual under all circumstances.
Once the unit has been transported to the place where it is to be located and only when it is to be installed,
unpack the unit.
At this time, it can be transported vertically over a short distance without packaging. Follow the guidelines
indicated in the following point.
Transport of the unpackaged unit
You must observe at least the following requirements:
1. Follow the necessary ergonomic advice for lifting weights.
2. Do not release the unit until it is perfectly secured or placed.
3. Ask someone else to guide the movements to be made.
4.2. Unpacking
Correct handling of the units is vitally important in order to:
• Prevent damage to the packaging which enables them to be kept in optimum condition from shipping
until they are installed.
• Avoid knocks and/or falls which may harm the mechanical characteristics of the units, e.g. cause
incorrect closure of doors, loss of IP rating, etc.
• Avoid, as far as possible, vibrations which may cause subsequent malfunction.
If you observe any anomaly, please contact Ingeteam immediately.
Separating the packaging

5. Preparation for installing the unit
When deciding the location of the unit and planning your installation, you must follow a set of guidelines based on
the specifications of the unit. These guidelines are summarized in this chapter.
5.1. Environment
• These units can be installed indoors and outdoors.
• Place the units in a place which is accessible for installation and maintenance work and which permits
use of the keyboard and the reading of the front indicator LEDs.
• Avoid corrosive environments that may affect the proper operation of the inverter.
• Never place any object on top of the unit.
• Do not expose the inverters to direct sunlight.
• Do not install the units in inhabited rooms. The inverter produces a slight buzz when in operation.
• If more than one inverter is installed, make sure the hot air extraction of one does not interfere with the
correct ventilation of another.
• Keep the following distances free of obstacles.
12 in (≈ 30 cm)
12 in (≈ 30 cm)
20 in (≈ 50 cm)
5.2. Environmental conditions
Environmental operating conditions indicated in section “2.7. Specifications tables” must be taken into account
when choosing the location of the unit.

ABE2013IQM01_ - Installation and Operation Manual

The surrounding atmosphere must be clean and at temperatures above 104ºF (40ºC), the relative humidity must
be between 4% and 50%. Higher percentages of relative humidity up to 95% are tolerated at temperatures below
86ºF (30ºC).
Take into account that moderate condensation may occasionally occur as a consequence of temperature variations.
For this reason, apart from the unit's own protection, it is necessary to monitor these units once they have been
started up on sites where the conditions described above are not expected to be present.
In the event of condensation, never apply voltage to the unit.
5.3. Supporting Surface and Fastening
These inverters must be installed in accordance with the specifications in the following figure. The permitted
positive inclination is between the range of 15 to 90º. The installation with negative inclination (example on the
right) is not permitted.

Reserve a solid wall to which to attach the unit. It must be possible to drill the wall and fit suitable wall anchors
and self-tapping screws to support the unit’s weight.
5.4. Protection of the connection to the electricity grid
It is necessary to install protection elements in the connection between the inverter and the electricity grid.
Thermomagnetic circuit breaker
A thermomagnetic circuit breaker and/or fuse must be installed on the connection between the inverter and the
electricity grid.
The following table provides the necessary data for the selection of these devices by the installer.

6TLUM 26.2A 32A
When selecting the protection in an installation you must take into account that its breaking capacity is greater
than the short-circuit current of the mains connection point.
You must take into account when correctly selecting the protection that the ambient working temperature
influences the maximum current permitted by these protections as indicated by the manufacturer.
Residual current device
These inverters are equipped with a residual current monitoring device that disconnects the unit if it detects a
residual fault current according to the electrical safety standards IEC 62109. For this reason, it is not necessary to
include a residual current device between the unit and the electricity grid.

This protection does not detect residual currents produced upstream of the inverter. If, for other reasons, it is
necessary to install a residual current device upstream of the inverter, this must be assigned to trip at a residual
current of at least 30mA.
5.5. Cable length
The inverter measures the voltage in its connection terminals. For this reason, the installer must use an AC cable
with a sufficiently low impedance so that increasing the voltage in the cable (between the distribution transformers
and the unit) does not cause the unit to be disconnected due to high voltage.
5.6. Photovoltaic panels
The photovoltaic panels of the installation must be Class A (IEC 61730).
