1.3 Installation Considerations
Inverters are composed of various precision, electronic devices, and therefore the installation
environment can significantly impact the life span and reliability of the product. The table below details
the ideal operation and installation conditions for the inverter.
Items
Description
Ambient Temperature*
14°F~104°F (- 10°C~40°C)
2.5% per °C current derating up to 122°F (50°C) max.
No ice or frost should be present.
Ambient Humidity
95% relative humidity (no condensation)
Storage Temperature
-4°F–149°F (-20⁰C-65⁰C)
Environmental Factors
An environment free from corrosive or flammable gases, oil residue or
dust
Altitude
Maximum 3,280 ft (1,000m) above sea level for standard operation.
Above that derate the inverter rated voltage and the rated output
current derating by 1% for every 328 ft (100m) up to 13,123 ft
(4,000m).
Vibration
Less than 1.0 G (9.8m/sec
2
)
Air Pressure
10 - 15 PSIg (70 –106 kPa)
* The ambient temperature is the temperature measured at a point 2” (5 cm) from the
surface of the inverter.
Do not allow the ambient temperature to exceed the allowable range while operating the
inverter.
