WARNING
Danger to life due to fire or explosion
Despite careful construction, electrical devices can cause fires. This can result in death or serious
injury.
• Do not mount the product in areas containing highly flammable materials or gases.
• Do not mount the product in potentially explosive atmospheres.
☐ A solid, flat support surface must be available for mounting.
☐ The support surface for installation must be made of a non-flammable material.
☐ Do not mount the inverter on a pillar.
☐ Installation must be carried out so that the charging port is always at a height of 1.2 m to 1.5
m above floor level (see Section5.1.4, page31).
☐ The installation site must be selected so that the product and the vehicle can be connected with
the charging cable. The charging cable must not be strained, squeezed or bent.
☐ No other device may be installed under the product.
☐ The product should be mounted in such way that display messages and LED signals can be
read without difficulty (see Section5.1.4, page31).
☐ The mounting location must be suitable for the weight and dimensions of the product.
☐ The installation site must be less than 2000m above mean sea level.
☐ The installation site can be exposed to direct solar irradiation. There is, however, the possibility
that the product reduces its power output to avoid overheating due to high temperatures.
☐ The installation site should be freely and safely accessible at all times without the need for any
auxiliary equipment (such as scaffolding or lifting platforms). Non-fulfillment of these criteria
may restrict servicing.
☐ All ambient conditions must be met (see Section15.9, page103).
☐ The ambient temperature should be considered (see Section15.4, page101) to ensure
optimal operation.
