3.1.2 Restricted Locations
RI-ENERGYFLOW-MODULAR shall not be installed :
(a) In restricted locations as defined for panels in AS / NZS 3000.
(b) within 600mm of any heat source, such as hot water unit, gas heater, air conditioning unit or any other
appliance.
(c) Within 600mm of any exit.
(d) Within 600mm of any window or ventilation opening.
(e) Within 900mm of access to 240Vac connections.
(f) Within 600mm of another device.
If the inverter is installed in any corridor, hallway, lobby or similar which leads to an emergency exit, please
ensure a sufficient clea
rance of at least 1 meter for safety. The inverter must not be installed in potentially
explosive atmospheres for gas cylinders that are heavier than air gases and have a vent clamp
.
3.1.3 The Barrier to Habitable Rooms
To protect
against the spread of fire in living spaces where
RI-ENERGYFLOW-MODULAR is mounted or on
surfaces of a wall or structure in living spaces with RI-ENERGYFLOW-MODULAR on the other side, the wall
or structure shall have a suitable non-combustible barrier. If the mounting surface itself is not made of a
suitable non-combustible material, a non-combustible barrier can be placed between RI-ENERGYFLOW-
MODULAR and the surface of a wall or structure. If RI-ENERGYFLOW-MODULAR is mounted
a wall or at
on
300mm from the wall or the structure separating it from the habitable space, the distances to other structures
or objects must be increased. The following distances must remain free:
(i) 600 mm beside RI-ENERGYFLOW-MODULAR;
(ii) 500 mm above RI-ENERGYFLOW-MODULAR;
(iii) 600 mm before RI-ENERGYFLOW-MODULAR.
If the distance between RI-ENERGYFLOW-MODULAR and the ceiling or any object above the system is less
than 500mm, the ceiling or structural surface above the system must be made of noncombustible material
within a radius of 600mm around the system. RI-ENERGYFLOW-MODULAR must be mounted to ensure the
highest point is not more than 2.2m above the ground or the platform.
