104. Cabinet Mounting
104.1 Tools Required
The following tools are required to install the system:
Socket Set, Phillips Screwdriver, Diagonal Wire Cutters, Long Nose Pliers, Electrical Tape, Digital
Volt-Ohm Meter, Safety Glasses with Side Shields, Small Punch (knockout removal), Hammer, Elec-
tric Drill, Wood or Masonry Bits, Level.
104.2 Mounting Hardware
Mounting hardware is not provided. Care should be taken when selecting mounting hardware to as-
sure that it is the proper type for the application and sized to safely support the systems full weight
when installed assuring safe and secure attachment of system to wall surface. For ease of installa-
tion, the factory recommends that the head size of mounting screws or bolts be small enough to pass
through the keyhole knockouts provided for mounting. This will allow the unit to be hung on partially
installed mounting hardware and facilitate easy cabinet removal if ever necessary.
104.3 Knockout Locations
All models provide knockouts on the top and left-hand side of the unit.
Additional entry points, if required can be added using a metal punch. Do not drill into the cabinet as
metal filings can cause short circuits and damage the equipment.
NOTE: Consider unit knockout locations prior to mounting unit. Allow room for easy routing
of conduit to entry point.
104.4 Surface Mount (-S) Models:
1)
Remove cover and any packing material inside unit housing
that may have been used for shipping purposes.
2)
For ease of installation, and to prevent possible damage to the
equipment, the inverter/charger assembly may be temporarily
removed prior to knockout removal and attachment to mounting
surface. This is accomplished by removing (4) 8-32 hex nuts on
the inverter/charger mounting plate. If shipped factory installed,
batteries may also be temporarily removed to facilitate ease of
installation.
3)
Remove the appropriate knockouts, 7/8”diameter, on the top
and/or left side of the unit housing to facilitate conduit attachment. Also remove keyhole knockouts
in the upper corners on the back of the housing on models
VST
-55/125-S
and
VST
-110/125-S
models. Due to the additional battery weight,
VST
-110/250-S
and
VST
-220/250-S
models are
supplied with mounting keyhole knockouts located at all four corners on the back of the unit hous-
ing. Remove all four keyhole knockouts on these models.
4)
Secure housing to mounting surface through all keyhole knockouts provided using mounting hard-
ware (not supplied) sized appropriately to support the unit weight.
5)
Re-install inverter/charger assembly if removed in step 2.
