When configuring the photovoltaic system, make sure that all components are
operating completely within their permitted operating range.
All measures recommended by the solar module manufacturer for maintaining
solar module properties must be followed.
Follow all grid operator regulations regarding grid power feed and connection
methods.
Location Selec-
tion
Please note the following criteria when choosing a location for the inverter:
The inverter is suitable for indoor installation.
The inverter is suitable for outdoor installation.
Because of its NEMA 4X protection class, the inverter is not sus-
ceptible to hose water on any side and can also be operated in
moist environments. However:
In order to keep inverter heating as low as possible, do not ex-
pose the inverter to direct sunlight. The inverter should be in-
stalled in a protected location, e.g., near the solar modules or
under an overhanging roof.

IMPORTANT! The inverter must not be installed or operated
above an altitude of 11,154 ft. (3400 m).
The maximum permissible DC voltage of the inverter depends
on the altitude.

The output power reduces when the device temperature is too
high, and this may occur earlier than normal at increased alti-
tudes.
Do not install the inverter:
-
where it may be exposed to ammonia, corrosive gases, acids,
or salts
(e.g., fertilizer storage areas, vent openings for livestock
stables, chemical plants, tanneries)
