3.1 Recommendations Before Installation
See Chapter 10, Technical Data for specification ranges and limits.
NOTICE: DESIGN AND INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Maintaining NEMA4X Rating is essential to assure safe operation of
the inverter. Water ingress is likely to cause a failure that could result
in an unsafe condition. The following are recommended.
✓ Addition of weep holes or any other hole will void the warranty.
✓ For earlier wire box models with gland plate – the conduit
connections must be strain relieved to ensure the plate to gasket
interface is water-tight. Water-tight metal flex conduit is one
method.
✓ All conduit entries must be metallic to prevent propagation.
✓ All conduit entries must be sealed to prevent moisture ingress.
o Sealing conduits at the other end will provide additional
protection – firestop putty may be used.

Inverters are defined based on the following conditions:
Condition 1: -40°C to 70°C, Inverter not installed, and in storage (in
packaging or unpackaged).
Condition 2: -30°C to 60°C, Inverter installed, connected to electric
utility grid and operating during daylight hours.
Condition 3: No low temp limit to 70°C, Inverter installed, connected
to electric utility grid but non-operating (daylight or nighttime hours).
Bulk head connector cover does not provide a water-tight seal.
