8 INSTALLATION
During installation and commissioning
of the MASS inverter, the Safety Guide-
lines and Measures are applicable at all
times. See chapter 2 of this manual.
8.1 ENVIRONMENT
Install the MASS inverter in a dry, well ventilated,
dust free situation. Locate the inverter as close as
possible to the DC distribution in order to keep the
battery cables short. Do not locate the inverter in the
same compartment as the batteries. The heat of the
inver-ter is discharged by a fan with a variable speed,
from the bottom of the cabinet to the side.
When fitting the inverter be sure that:
• the air flow is not obstructed;
• the inverter is mounted vertically;
• no water and/or dust can enter the cabinet.
Never use the inverter in locations whe-
re there is gas or explosion danger!
8.2 WIRING
The way of wiring has influence on the EMC behavi-
our of the system in which the inverter is a compo-
nent. This is caused by the fact that wires and cables
are excellent reception and transmitter antennes of
radio frequency electro magnetic interference. Most
problems originate from mutual influencing of wires
and cables.
Starting points for wiring with good EMC properties:
Lay the cables in metal cable trunking. The metal of
the trunking offers a low resistance to interference
currents, so that these currents run in the trunking.
The DC cables are to be in contact with one another,
as far as possible. The cables of different groups
should not be twisted, but run in parallel. If trunking is
not possible, lay the cables parallel to a metal bar. If
this is not possible, make a cable bunch in which the
cables run in parallel.
8.3 UNPACKING
In the box in which the inverter is delivered contains,
in addition to the inverter:
• a guarantee card;
• this user’s manual.
After unpacking, check the inverter for possible da-
mage.
CAREFUL !
Never remove the type
number plate!
Important technical data required for service, main-
tenance and later delivery of parts can be obtained
from the type number plate (see fig. 2).
