5. Planning the installation
This chapter describes only the planning of the
installation work. The execution of the instal-
lation work and the associated dangers are
described in the "Installation" chapter.
5.1 Installation location
5.1.1 Requirements for the wall or mounting
system
► The inverter can be suspended or mounted in a standing
position. Mounting feet are available for oor mounting and
must be ordered separately.
► The inverter is heavy. The wall, oor and mounting system
must be able to bear the heavy weight of the inverter.
► Always use the mounting plate supplied with the inverter
when mounted in a suspended position.
► Use mounting materials (dowels, screws etc.) that are
suitable for the wall or the mounting system as well as the
heavy weight of the inverter.
► Mount the inverter on a vibration-free wall to avoid disrup-
tions.
► When using the inverter in residential areas or in buildings
with animals, possible noise emissions can be disturbing.
Therefore, choose the installation location carefully.
► Mount the inverter on a reproof wall.
5.1.2 Mounting alignment
► Mount the inverter vertically.
5.1.3 Outdoor installations
► The inverter has a protection degree of IP65 and can be
installed indoors and outdoors. Despite this, the inverter
should be protected by a roof against direct solar irradia-
tion, rain and snow. For example, the power of the inverter
will be reduced if it is too heavily heated by solar radiation.
This is normal operating behavior for the inverter and is
necessary to protect the internal electronics.
5.1.4 Lifting and transporting the inverter
► The inverter must be lifted and carried by at least two
people.
