1.
Using the mounting bracket as a template, mark four screw holes onto the wall. For 16 in.
(40.6 cm) on center stud mounting, use the four holes that are indicated for this purpose in
the figure. Make sure the holes are in the center of each stud before marking the drill
location.
2.
After marking the screw hole locations, drill the pilot holes for the appropriate screw type
that will hold the weight of the inverter in the selected material. 1/4“ lag bolts are recom-
mended for mounting on wood framed walls.
3.
Align the mounting bracket over the pilot holes and install the mounting hardware to 3/16
inches flush to mounting surface. Please tighten to the recommended torque necessary to
hold the mounting bracket firmly to the wall surface type.
4.
As the inverters are heavy, they should be lifted out of the cardboard container by at least
two persons (PVI 3800TL weighs 42 lbs (19 kg) and PVI 5200/6600/7600TL weigh 64 lbs
(29 kg)).
5.
With two people, lift up the inverter and place it carefully onto the mounting bracket. Install
two locking nuts as shown in the figure 16 to secure the device.
6.
Check that the inverter is seated securely on the wall.
It is recommended to use stainless steel screws, especially if installed outdoors. Be sure to
verify sheer and pullout strength of anchors or other wall attachments.
