Access
Access to the Inverter, and especially any associated isolating switches, must
be in accordance with the specific requirements of the relevant AUS/NZ
standards.
The mounting location must at all times be clear and have safe access without
the use of additional aids such as ladders or lifting platforms.
User visibility
Mount the Inverter at a height, and in such a position that visibility cannot be
blocked to allow the operating status LEDs to be seen at all times.
Noise
The Inverter can make noises when in use, which may be perceived as a
nuisance in a living or sleeping area.
Do not mount the unit on plasterboard walls or similar to avoid audible
vibrations.
Location regards
other equipment
The minimum horizontal clearance distances to walls and other objects to
ensure sufficient air circulation for cooling is 100 mm.
Special consideration must be given where multiple Inverters are installed in the
same area. As a minimum, all clearance distances are additive.
DO NOT mount Inverters above each other or other heat generating equipment.
DANGER
Danger to life and property.
Breach of Government legislation.
Voiding of Warranty.
