INVERTER UNIT LOCATION
NOTE:
Please re-read the PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS section of this
manual (pg. 8-9) prior to installation. This unit must be located in a cool, dry,
well ventilated area, free from unsecured hardware. Temperature is also a
serious consideration.
DO NOT
mount this unit in an engine compartment or
areas where temperatures will exceed 104°F (40°C).
In addition, the following should be considered when choosing a location:
1.
1.
Locate inverter unit away from battery in a separate, well ventilated
compartment.
2.
2.
Placement of the remote status panel - A length of communications cable
is provided for remote-location of the status/on/off panel. Ensure the cable
is long enough to reach the desired location (generally in proximity to the
main panel board) and avoid any area where it can be damaged.
3.
3.
Ventilation - Allow at least 8 inches (20cm) of space at the DC end of the
inverter for air flow, 1 inch (2.5cm) on each side, and 3 inches (7.5cm) at the
AC end of the inverter. For cooling, the size of the space is not as important
as the overall supply of air. The more clearance for ventilation around the
unit, the better the performance.
DO NOT
allow the ventilation openings on
the ends of the unit to become obstructed.
4.
4.
Cable Routing - Large DC cables and over current protection (fuses/
circuit breakers) will be located in proximity to this unit. Choose a location
AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE to the DC battery bank serving the unit. This will
provide optimum performance for the unit and keep cable sizes smaller.
Location of the AC power is less critical than the DC supply.
MOUNTING -
The weight of the inverter is very heavy. Be sure to place the
inverter on a stable surface such as the floor, a table, or stand. Make sure
the areas you place the inverter on can withstand the weight of the inverter.
In addition, be sure to affix the product with the provided screws to keep the
inverter from falling or moving.
