Installing the Inverter/Charger
Step 1: Choosing a Location for the Inverter/Charger
The inverter should only be installed in a location that meets
the following requirements:
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Do not install this equipment in compartments containing batteries or
flammable materials, or in locations that require ignition-protected
equipment because this equipment contains components that could
produce arcs or sparks. This includes any space containing gasoline-
powered machinery, fuel tanks, or joints, fittings, or other connections
between components of the fuel system.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
HEAT HAZARD
Do not cover or obstruct the ventilation openings. Do not install this
equipment in a compartment with limited airflow. Overheating may result.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in minor or moderate injury
Ventilated
Dry
Cool
Clearance
Do not operate the inverter/charger in a closed-in
area or restrict ventilation in any way. The inverter/
charger requires air circulation to maintain
optimum operating temperature and provide best
performance. If the unit has inadequate ventilation,
it may shut down due to overheating.
The air vented through the openings should also
have a path to circulate away from the inverter/
charger.
Do not allow water or other fluids to drip or splash
on the inverter/charger. Do not expose to rain, snow
or water.
Normal air temperature should be between
32 °F and 140 °F (0 °C and 60 °C)—the cooler the
better within this range.
Allow as much space around the inverter/charger as
possible. It is recommended that other objects and
surfaces be at least 3 inches (76 mm) away from the
ventilation openings for best performance.
