• Ensure a minimum distance to other objects and surfacesas shown in
Fig. 5.1 to guarantee sufficient heat dissipation and to have enough space
for removing wires.
• Install in a room where noise is not an issue as the unit has
fans for cooling. Under maximum load, the fan noise
typically does not exceed 60 dBa.Under no load, but with
the AC output turned on, the minimum noise is
app roximately 35 dBa,as the fans rot ate at about30% of
their maximum speed.The fans are speed-controlled
according to current PV and inverter power. Air is taken in
from the top vents and expelled towardthe bottom.
Install the unit by using four (PSW-H-5KW-120/48V, PSW-H-6.5KW-
120/48 V and PSW-H-8KW-230/48V) or three (all other models) M4 or
M5 screws (Fig. 5.2) appropriate for the weight of the unit and wall
material, use wall p lugs. The bottom screw hole is only accessibleafter
removal of the bottom cover (Fig. 4). This bot tom cover must remain
removed for the rest of this“Installation” chapter until instructed
otherwise.
