Recommended clearances:
If you maintain the recommended clearances, adequate heat dissipation will be ensured. Thus, you
will prevent power reduction due to excessive temperature.
☐ Maintain the recommended clearances to walls as well as to other inverters or objects.
☐ If multiple inverters are mounted in areas with high ambient temperatures, increase the
clearances between the inverters and ensure sufficient fresh-air supply.

5.2 Mounting the Inverter
Additionally required mounting material (not included in the scope of delivery):
☐ At least two screws that are suitable for the support surface and the weight of the inverter
☐ At least two washers that are suitable for the screws
☐ If necessary, two screw anchors suitable for the support surface and the screws
☐ To protect the inverter against theft: At least one security screw and, if necessary, a suitable
screw anchor
