MOUNTING
Place the GTI in a convenient location, close to the inverter. The GTI must
be mounted horizontally on a flat surface (such as a wall) in a clean, dry
environment. Do not mount the GTI where it will be exposed to the weather or in
a damp location.
NOTE: The GTI weighs approximately 25 pounds. Use
appropriate wall anchors or backing material (plywood,
2 x 4’s, etc.) that will support its weight.
CAUTION: Do not mount vertically as water may
enter the enclosure and damage the internal
circuitry. Damage caused by mounting the unit
vertically is NOT covered under the limited
warranty.
Procedure
1. Use a level and mark the location for mounting the unit on the wall.
2. Measure out the four mounting screw holes according to Figure 2-3.
3. Use a #10 x 3/8 (or 1/2) inch long screw and washer (and appropriate
anchors if necessary) and mount the GTI securely to the wall or backing
material (plywood, 2 x 4’s, etc.).
4. Remove the appropriate knockouts for the conduit. Install the conduit
between the GTI and the inverter. Use separate conduit for the AC wiring
and the communications cable.
