Planning the installation
This chapter describes only the
planning
of the
installation work. The
execution
of the installation
work and the associated dangers are described
in “7. Installation”, page 54.

Requirements for the wall, floor and
mounting system
►
The inverter can be suspended or mounted in a standing
position. Feet are available for floor mounting and must be
ordered separately.
►
The inverter is heavy. The wall, ground and mounting sys-
tem must be able to bear the heavy weight of the inverter.
►
Always use the mounting plate supplied with the inverter
when mounted in a suspended position.
►
Use mounting materials (dowels, screws etc.) that are
suitable for the wall or the mounting system as well as the
heavy weight of the inverter.
►
Mount the inverter on a vibration-free wall to avoid disrup-
tions.
►
When using the inverter in residential areas or in buildings
with animals, possible noise emissions can be disturbing.
Therefore, choose the installation location carefully.
► Mount the inverter on a fireproof wall.
Special notes on floor mounting
In principle, the inverter can be mounted directly onto the ground
or directly onto the roof in the case of roof systems.
However, if there is a risk of flooding (for example in heavy rain)
or snow drifts, you should place the inverter in an elevated posi-
tion.
For example, if there is a circumferential boundary wall on the
roof, it can be used for installation.
Fig. 5.1, p. 27 shows example use of mounting brackets so
that the inverter is positioned off the ground. The cable duct is
located behind the inverter.
