3.2 Location
The product must be installed in a dry and well-ventilated area, as close as possible to the
batteries. There should be a clear space of at least 10 cm around the appliance for cooling.
Excessively high ambient temperature will result in the following:
Reduced service life.
Reduced charging current.
Reduced peak capacity, or shutdown of the inverter.
Never mount the appliance directly above the batteries.
The product is suitable for wall mounting. For mounting see Anhang A.
The appliance can be mounted horizontally as well as vertically; vertical mounting is
preferable. The vertical position offers optimum cooling.
The interior of the product must remain accessible after installation.
Ensure that the AC and DC input cables are fitted with fuses and circuit breakers. Try and
keep the distance between the product and the battery to a minimum in order to minimize
cable voltage losses.
For safety purposes, this product should be installed in a heat-resistant
environment if it is used with equipment where a substantial amount of power is
to be converted. You should prevent the presence of e.g. chemicals, synthetic
components, curtains or other textiles, etc., in the immediate vicinity.
