4.3 Choose an installation location
The installation method and mounting location must be suitable for the weight and dimensions of the inverter. Select a wall or
solid vertical surface which is able to support the PV inverter.
Mount on a solid surface, the mounting location must be accessible at all times.
Vertical installation or tilted backwards by max. 15°.
The connection area must point downwards.
Do not install horizontally.
To ensure good heat dissipation and reserve enough space for installing the SF series, the SF series is at least 30cm, 50 cm,
100cm, and 50cm away from objects on its both sides, top, bottom, and front respectively, as shown in Figure 4-3.
Figure 4-3Minimuminstallationclearance
When installing multiple SF series Inverters in high temperature areas, please increase the space properly as needed to make sure that there is
enough space for heat dissipation.
4.4Installing the SF series
If the installation locations near the ground ,first connect the PGND cable to the ground before installing the Inverter on the wall.
Step 1Install the bracket
1.Determine the position for drilling holes, level hole positions, and then mark the hole positions by using a marker, as shown in

2. Align the bracket with hole positions, insert expansion bolts into the holes, and tighten the expansion bolts to a torque of 30
N.m using a torque wrench, as shown in Figure 4-5.

Step 2Install the SF series
1. Use one hand to hold the handle at the bottom of the SF series and use the other hand to hold the handle close to the top of
the SF series and then stand the SF series. Two peoples are required to install the SF series.
1.Mount the SFseries on the bracket and keep them aligned with each other, as shown in Figure 4-6.

5.ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
5.1 Electrical connection process
Electrical connection process of SF series as shown in Figure 5-1。
Figure 5-1 Electrical connection flowchart
5.2 Connecting PGND Cables（PE）
Good grounding for the SF series can help resist the impact of the surge voltage and improve the EMI performance. First
connect the PGND cable before connecting the AC power cable, DC power cable, and communication cable.
For the system with one SF series, connect the PGND cable to the ground. For the system with multiple SF series ,connect the
PGND cables of all SF series to a ground bar.
If the installation location is near the ground ,first connect the PGND cable to the ground before installing the SF series on the
wall.
Step 1 Remove the insulation layer with an appropriate length using a wire stripper. Insert the exposed core wires into the OT
terminal and crimp them by using a crimping tool, as shown in Figure 5-2.
Figure 5-2 Preparing a ground cable
Step 2Install the crimped OT terminal, flat washer, and spring washer on the M6 welded stud, and tighten the nut to a torque of5
N.m using a socket wrench.

Step 1 Remove the cable gland and the adapter from the AC output connector.
Step 2 Remove the insulation layer of the AC output cable of an appropriate length using a wire stripper.
1. Strip the outer jacket of AC output cable by 55mm.
2. CutthecorewiresofthecablesexcludingthePGNDcableby2.5mm. That is, the core wire of the PGND cable should be 2.5
mm longer than that of other four cables.
3. Strip the insulation layer of each core wires by 12mm.
