Figure 3-5 Mounting the SB3800U
Use the following procedure to mount the SB3800U:
1. Locate the mounting plate included in the shipping container with the SB3800U.
2. The holes in the mounting plate are sealed with plastic plugs. Remove the plastic
plugs for only the holes used.
3. Position the mounting plate against the wall where you intend to mount the
SB3800U. (Try to mount the SB3800U so that the display is approximately at eye-
level.) Place a level on the top edge of the mounting plate, and adjust the position of
the mounting plate until it is level. The bottom of the mounting plate will be equal to
the approximate location of the bottom of the inverter.
4. Using the mounting plate as a template, mark the wall through three holes in the
mounting plate. (See Figure 3-4)
CAUTION: Ensure that there are studs in the wall at the places where
you intend to drill the mounting-holes.
DO NOT use molly or toggle bolts
to mount the SB3800U to sheet rock or panelling.
5. Set the mounting plate aside temporarily, and drill holes at the marks on the wall.
