Preparing the Installation

1.4 Selecting and preparing a site for
installation
When selecting an installation location consider the following points:
•
The inverter must be installed on a wall that can support the inverter’s weight.
•
The location must be free from vibration. Vibration can adversely affect the
operation of the inverter.
•
Do not install the inverter in a location exposed to direct sunlight, high
temperature, or high humidity.
•
Do not install the inverter near oil residue, flammable gas, or dust. Install the
inverter in a clean location or inside an equipment cabinet. The air flow must
be clean and free of conductive dust.
•
The inverter can become very hot during operation. Install the inverter on a
surface that is fire-resistant or flame-retardant and with sufficient clearance
around the inverter to allow air to circulate. The illustrations below detail the
minimum installation clearances.
