Requirements for installation location
DANGER
· The Solar Inverter may not be installed in rooms
subject to explosion hazards.
· The Solar Inverter may not be exposed to caustic
gases!
· No combustible or highly flammable materi-
als may be stored within 3 metres of the Solar
Inverter.
Protection against moisture and foreign bodies
· The high protection type IP 54 allows installa-
tion indoors and in roof-covered areas outdoors,
however the Solar Inverter may not be directly
exposed to rain.

Mechanical load-bearing capacity
· Note during installation that the Solar Inverter
weighs 26 kg. The installation surface must be
firm and able to carry this weight in the long
term.
Thermal interaction
· The installation surface must consist of flame-
retardant material (not suitable: surface of wood
or plastic; suitable: concrete and masonry), as
the frame of the Solar Inverter can heat up to a
maximum of 70°C.
· A minimum distance of 300 mm to other devices,
cabinets, ceilings, cable ducts, etc. must be
maintained above, below and to the sides of the
housing. See the figure Requirements for instal-
lation location.
· The Solar Inverter must be installed vertically to
enable sufficiently free convection.
· Several Solar Inverters may not be mounted over
each other to prevent them from heating each
other.
· Ensure sufficient heat dissipation when installing
the Solar Inverter in a switch cabinet or closed
room.
· The ambient temperature may not drop below or
exceed -25°C and +45°C respectively. At ambient
temperatures above 45°C, the inverter automati-
cally reduces its output.
· The Solar Inverter must not be exposed to direct
sunlight, to protect it from unnecessary external
warming.
