Installation
Dry | Do not allow water or other liquids to drop or |
| splash on the inverter. |
|
|
Cool | Ambient air temperature should be between |
| 32 ºF and 104 º F (0 ºC and 40 º |
| the better within this range. |
|
|
Ventilated | Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of clearance |
| around the inverter for air flow. Ensure that |
| ventilation openings on the DC end and the |
| bottom of the unit are not obstructed. |
|
|
Safe | Do not install the inverter in the same |
| compartment as batteries or in any |
| compartment capable of storing flammable |
| liquids like gasoline. |
|
|
Close to battery | Do not use excessive DC cable lengths: they |
| increase wire resistance and reduce input |
| power. |
|
|
Protected from | Do not mount the inverter where it will be |
battery gases | exposed to gases produced by the batteries. |
| These gases are very corrosive and prolonged |
| exposure will damage the inverter. |

Mount The Inverter
1.Select an appropriate mounting location and orientation. The unit can be oriented in any way, such as:
• Horizontally on a vertical surface or
DC connections should NOT point up or down.
• On or under a horizontal surface.
2.Hold the inverter against the mounting surface and mark the positions using the mounting flanges as guide.
3.
4.Fasten the inverter to the mounting surface using corrosion- resistant hardware sized #10.
