WARNING: Risk of fire
Despite careful construction, electrical devices can cause fires .
• Do not install the inverter in areas containing highly flammable materials or
gases.
• Do not install the inverter in potentially explosive atmospheres.
4. Installation
• Install on a wall or strong structure capable of bearing the weight of the machine (17kg).
• Install vertically with a maximum incline of+/- 5 degrees, exceeding this may cause
output power derating.
• To avoid overheating, always make sure the flow of air around the inverter is not
blocked. A minimum clearance of 300mm should be kept between inverters or
objects and 500mm clearance between the bottom of the machine and the ground.
