Mount The Inverter

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 105 º F (0 ºC and 40 º C)—the cooler
	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.

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.Pilot-drill the four mounting holes.

4.Fasten the inverter to the mounting surface using corrosion- resistant hardware sized #10.
