Because of its IP 55 degree of protection, the inverter is not susceptible to hose water from
any direction and can also be operated in moist environments.
In order to keep inverter heating as low as possible, the inverter should not be exposed to
direct sunlight. Ideally, the inverter should be installed in a protected location, e.g., near the
solar modules or under an overhanging roof.
Do not install the inverter:
-
Where it can be exposed to ammonia, corrosive gasses, acids or salts (e.g., fertilizer
storage areas, vent openings for livestock stables, chemical plants, tanneries, etc.)
During certain operation phases the inverter may produce a slight noise. For this reason
it should not be installed in an occupied living area.
Do not install the inverter in:
-
areas with large amounts of dust
- areas with large amounts of conducting dust particles (e.g., iron filings)
- areas with corrosive gases, acids or salts
- areas where there is an increased risk of accidents, e.g., from farm animals (horses,
cattle, sheep, pigs, etc.)
- stables or adjoining areas
- storage areas for hay, straw, chaff, animal feed, fertilizers, etc.
- storage or processing areas for fruit, vegetables or winegrowing products
- areas used in the preparation of grain, green fodder or animal feeds
- greenhouses
