General recommendation on installation position
• See characteristics and technical data paragraph to check the required environmental conditions (protection rating, temperature,
humidity, altitude, etc.).
• The installation location shall be easily accessible.
• Installation of the unit in a location exposed to direct sunlight is NOT acceptable (add awning in case of direct sunlight installation).
• Final installation of the device must not compromise access to any disconnection devices that may be located externally.
• Do not install in small closed rooms where air cannot circulate freely.
• Always ensure that the flow of air around the inverter is not blocked so as to prevent overheating.
• Do not install in locations where flammable substances or gases may be present (minimum distance 3 m).
• Do not install on wooden walls or other flammable supports.
• Install on a wall or strong structure suitable to bear the weight.
• Do not install in rooms where people live or where the prolonged presence of people or animals is expected, because of the high noise
that the inverter produces during operation. The level of the sound emission is heavily influenced by where the appliance is installed
(for example: the type of surface around the inverter, the general properties of the room, etc.) and the quality of the electricity supply.
• Never open the inverter in the case of rain (even light rain), snow or a level of humidity >95%. Always carefully seal all unused openings.
In case of opening when the unit is wet, avoid any water infiltration inside the unit, either in WB or PM.
• All installations over 6500’ (2,000 meters) must be assessed by ABB Technical Sales to determine the proper datasheet derating.
Tilting admittance
• The installation can be carried out with a maximum inclination as indicated in the figures below.
