• Never mount the device with a forward tilt.
• Never install the device with a sideways tilt.
• Do not mount horizontally.
• Install at eye level in order to allow operating states to be read at all times.
• To ensure optimal operation, the ambient temperature should be below 40°C.
• Do not expose the inverter to direct sunlight, as this can cause excessive heating and power
reduction.
• In a living area, do not mount the unit on plasterboard walls (or similar) in order to avoid audible
vibrations. When in use, the inverter emits noises which may be perceived as a nuisance in a
living area.
• Observe the minimum clearances to walls, other
inverters or objects as shown in the diagram in order
to ensure sufficient heat dissipation and sufficient
space for removing the Electronic Solar Switch.
Multiple inverters installed in areas with high ambient temperatures
If necessary, increase the clearance spaces and make sure there is enough ventilation to
ensure sufficient cooling of the inverters.
