4.1 Select a Location for the Inverter
Figure 4.1 Recommended Installation locations
To select a location for the inverter, the following criteria should be considered:
Exposure to direct sunlight may cause output power derating. It is recommended to
avoid installing the inverter in direct sunlight.
It is recommended that the inverter is installed in a cooler ambient which doesn't
exceed 104℉/40℃.
WARNING: Risk of fire
Despite careful construction, electrical devices can cause fires.

NOTE:
Nothing should be stored on or placed against the inverter.
Figure 4.2 Inverter Mounting clearance
≥1000mm
≥500mm
≥1000mm
≥500mm ≥500mm
To avoid overheating, always make sure the flow of air around the inverter is not
blocked. A minimum clearance of 500mm should be kept between inverters or
objects and 1000mm clearance between the bottom of the machine and the ground.
Adequate ventilation must be provided.
Install vertically with a maximum incline of +/- 5 degrees, exceeding this may cause
output power derating.
Install on a wall or strong structure capable of bearing the weight of the machine (24kg).
