3. Installation location
Installation site and position
• Refer Datasheet/Manual to confirm that the environmental specifications
have been met
• Do not install the inverter in full sun. If needed, use a sun shade to
minimize solar irradiation, especially for temperatures over 104°F/40°C.
• Do not install in closed spaces where air does not circulate freely
• Always ensure that the flow of air around the inverter is not blocked, so as
to prevent overheating.
• Do not install the equipment near flammable substances (minimum
distance: 10 ft).
• Do not install the equipment on wooden walls or other flammable
substances.
• Do not install in inhabited rooms or where the prolonged presence
of people or animals is expected, because of the inverter’s noise level
during operation. The sound level is heavily influenced by its location (for
example, the surface around the inverter, the environment, etc.) and grid
quality.
• Install on a wall or strong structure capable of bearing weight
• Install vertically with a maximum inclination as indicated in the figure
• Maintain minimum clearance from objects blocking air circulation and
spacing between inverter as indicated in the figures
• Ensure sufficient working area in front of the inverter for wiring box access
• If possible, install at eye level so that the LEDs can be seen easily
• Install at a height that takes account of the weight of the equipment
• Position multiple inverters side-by-side, maintaining minimum clearances
(measured from the outermost edge of the inverter)
• Multiple inverters can also be placed in a staggered arrangement.
Minimum clearances for staggered arrangements include width of the
inverter cover plus additional allowances for inverters arranged above or
below
• All installations over 6500’ high (2,000 meters) must be assessed by
FIMER Technical Sales to determine the proper datasheet derating

disconnects.
NOTE –
D
Please refer to the warranty terms and conditions and avoid
voiding the warranty with improper installation.
4. Mounting Instructions
Mount the inverter following the step-by-step procedure below.
ATTENTION –
A
Do not remove the inverter chassis cover in adverse weather
conditions (e.g. rain, snow) or during periods of high humidity (>95%).

• Position the bracket (07) so that it is level on the wall or pole
• It is the installer’s responsibility to choose an appropriate number and
distribution of attachment points. The choice must be based on the type of
wall, frame or other support, the type of anchors to be used, and their ability
to support 4 times the inverter’s weight (4x33lbs=132lbs for all models).
Depending on the type and number of attachment points, drill the required
holes to mount the bracket (see figure detail A)
• Secure the bracket to the wall or frame
• If needed, make conduit cutouts in the wiring box chassis, before the
wiring box is put on the wall
• Carefully lift the inverter and hook it onto the bracket by inserting the two
supports in the slots on the inverter (Figure B).
• Proceed to anchor the inverter to the bracket by installing the two (one
each side) locking screws (Figure B1). If on the bracket are present the
lateral lock springs, proceed to lock the inverter by pressing the lower part
toward the wall or structure until the two springs on the bracket set the
inverter in position (Figure B2).
• Secure the inverter chassis bottom flange to the mounting surface using
another screw (see Figure detail C). Note that the bottom flange is not a
load-bearing component.
