Installation Manual

5.3 Mounting the Inverter and DC Disconnect

2. Hang the inverter in the wall mounting bracket.

3. Ensure that the inverter is securely in place.

4. Remove the lower lid.

5. Carefully pierce the rubber grommet on the upper side of the DC Disconnect using a

screwdriver.

Risk of injury when lifting the inverter, or if it is dropped

The inverter is heavy (see Section 13 "Technical Data", page 77). Risk of injury exists due to
incorrect lifting and due to the inverter falling during transport or when hanging in the wall
mounting bracket.

• Lift and transport the inverter horizontally in the mounting position. Use the recessed grips

on the sides for this.

Lower lid off
