3.3 MOUNTING
WARNING: Risk of electrical shock. Do not expose the inverter to rain, snow, spray, liquid, or dust.
Doing so may result in damage to the Inverter, other appliances installed in the system or result in
electric shock or fire.
The RS3 Inverter should be used in an environment that meets the following requirements:
The Inverter must be mounted on a structural surface using all four mounting holes with
appropriate M6 fasteners.
Dry—Do not allow water to drip on or enter into the inverter.
Cool—Ambient air temperature should be between 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).
Safe—Do not install the inverter in a battery compartment or other areas where volatile fumes may
exist, such as fuel storage areas or engine compartments.
Ventilated—Keep the inverter at a distance (at least 25 mm (1")) away from surrounding objects.
Ensure all ventilation openings are not obstructed.
Dust free—Do not install the inverter in a dusty environment where the dust can enter into the unit,
and especially not drawn into the product when the cooling fan is working.
Fused—Batteries can supply very large currents; a fuse must be tted between the battery and the
inverter. The fuse must be located as close as possible to the battery's positive terminal to protect
the cabling. Use the recommended cable and fuse sizes (see page14).
Close to batteries—Avoid excessive cable runs between battery and inverter to reduce the voltage
drop across the cable. For safety reasons however, even when installed in a well
ventilated area the inverter should not be installed within 300 mm (11.8") of the battery. The inverter
must never be installed within the same enclosed compartment with the battery.
Do not mount the inverter where it will be exposed to the gasses produced by the battery.
These gasses are very corrosive, and prolonged exposure will damage the inverter.
The Inverter should be mounted preferably horizontally but vertically is still acceptable. Do not
mount the Inverter upside down.
