Choosing a Location

Protected
from battery
acid and gases Never place the inverter/charger directly above the batteries—gases
from battery will corrode and damage the inverter/charger. If the
inverter/charger is installed in a compartment above the batteries,
make sure there is a solid, gas-impermeable wall dividing the two
compartments.
Never allow battery acid to drip on the inverter/charger or its wiring
when filling the batteries or reading their specific gravity.
Orientation To meet regulatory requirements, the inverter/charger must be
mounted in one of the approved mounting orientations:
•
Desktop (as shown in Figure 2-1)
• Upside down
• Wall mounted with the AC terminal block facing up.
