100. Installation
100.1 General Installation Requirements
CAUTION:
LiteGear cabinets are very heavy. Check to assure that the chosen location is capable of safely bearing the load.
Cabinet Size
: 18.375” W x 10.2” H x 8.25” D (46.6cm W x 25.9cm H x 21cm D)
Weight (including batteries): 70 lbs.
Install the LiteGear inverter system in a clean, cool, dry place with normal ventilation for human habitation.
LiteGear inverter systems are UL Listed for 20°C to 30°C (+68°F to +86°F) operation.
Battery performance and service life is maximized if the operating temperature is maintained at 25°C (77°F).
The air around the unit must be clean, dust-free, and free of corrosive chemicals or other contaminants. Do not place
the LiteGear inverter system or batteries in a sealed room or container.
100.2 Cabinet Installation
CAUTION:
Do not drill into the cabinet; drill filings may damage the unit and prevent it from operating. If additional or larger entry
points are needed, use a chassis punch to enlarge the appropriate knockout. Do not add unnecessary knockouts.
Remove the electronics module by removing the four screws on the right side of the cabinet. (The inverter cabinet
should be installed without the batteries inside.)
The LiteGear® units are supplied with two keyhole knockouts for wall mounting. See Figure 100-1. Necessary
hardware to fasten the cabinet to the wall is to be supplied by the installing contractor.
Please refer to the following illustrations.
Install the input and output conduits.
AC Input service conductors and AC Output conductors must be run in separate conduits. LiteGear inverter system
emergency output circuits must be installed in dedicated conduit systems and not shared with other electrical circuits
as described in NEC 700-9(b).
