Preparation
The selection of a suitable site and good preparation is essential in getting optimum performance from the
SP PRO.
Inverter performance is dependant upon the environmental operating conditions, in particular ambient
temperature and ventilation. In addition safety aspects must be considered, such as:
• Restricted access to unauthorised personnel and children.
• Consideration of maintenance of ambient temperatures to ensure performance within product
specification.
• Adequate ventilation, positioned away from heat producing devices and adhering to the minimum
clearances required for adequate heat dissipation.
Minimum 250mm clearance from top and sides, 200mm from below.
• In a covered location.
• Away from any explosive gas.
• Rodent Proof.
• Enough room to remove the cover if required.
• The provision of infrastructure for monitoring - eg data cables
The SP PRO should be installed in a separate area to the battery system. The battery bank can emit
explosive gas(hydrogen) and this must be vented outside and away from the SP PRO. The battery
system should not be accessible by the user.
For Off-Grid and On-Grid applications it is recommended that the installation be in lockable power room with
a separating partition between the SP PRO and the battery area.
