Choosing the Location
Choosing the lo-
cation in general
Please note the following criteria when choosing a location for the inverter:
Only vertical installation
Max. ambient temperatures: -13 °F / +131 °F (-25 °C / +55 °C)
Relative humidity: 0 - 95 %
For use at altitudes above sea level: up to 6561 ft. (2000 m)
- Keep a minimum distance of 8 in. (20 cm) between each inverter or anything to the
right or left of the inverters such as walls or DC and AC disconnects.
For optimal airflow and cooling efficiency in locations with temperatures exceeding
104 °F (40 °C), the manufacturer recommends a distance of 10 - 12 in. (25 - 30 cm).
- When installing more than one inverter, keep a distance of 12 in. (30 cm) between
each inverter. In locations with temperatures exceeding 104 °F (40 °C), more than
12 inches is desirable.
Keep a minimum distance under the inverter corresponding to the ‘NEC 110.26 for code
compliant disconnect location‘. If the DC disconnect is to be code compliant, it must be
readily accessible (NEC 690.14 (B) (1)).
The air flow direction within the inverter is from right to left (cold air intake on right, hot air
exit on left).
When installing the inverter in a switch panel cabinet (or similar closed environment), it is
necessary to make sure that the hot air that develops will be discharged by forced venti-
lation.
The inverter is designed for installation both indoors and outdoors.
