INSTALLATION 

Unpacking and Inspection 

Before installation, please inspect the unit. Be sure that nothing inside the package is damaged. You should 
have received the following items inside of package: 

 

The unit x 1 

 

User manual x 1 

  Communication cable

 x 1 

 

Software CD x 1 

 

Preparation 

Before connecting all wirings, please take off bottom cover by removing two screws as shown below.   

 

Mounting the Unit 

Consider the following points before selecting where to install: 

 

Do not mount the inverter on flammable construction 

materials. 

 

Mount on a solid surface 

 

Install this inverter at eye level in order to allow the LCD 

display to be read at all times. 

 

For proper air circulation to dissipate heat, allow a clearance 

of approx. 20 cm to the side and approx. 50 cm above and 

below the unit. 

 

The ambient temperature should be between 0°C and 55°C 

to ensure optimal operation. 

 

The recommended installation position is to be adhered to 

the wall vertically. 

 

Be sure to keep other objects and surfaces as shown in the 

diagram to guarantee sufficient heat dissipation and to 
have enough space for removing wires.   
 

SUITABLE FOR MOUNTING ON CONCRETE OR OTHER NON-COMBUSTIBLE SURFACE ONLY.
