6.1 Requirements for Mounting
6.1.1 Requirements for the installation site of the battery modules
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.
☐ The mounting location must be suitable for the weight and dimensions of the product.
☐ The surface at the installation site must be sufficiently dry, horizontal and flat.
☐ The mounting location must not be exposed to direct solar irradiation. If the product is exposed to direct solar
irradiation, the exterior plastic parts might age prematurely and overheating might occur. When becoming too
hot, the product reduces its power output to avoid overheating.
☐ There must be no heat sources in the immediate vicinity of the installation site.
☐ All ambient conditions must be met.
☐ The installation site must be less than 3000m above mean sea level. If you would like to use the battery at
altitudes above 3000m, contact Service.
☐ On flood plains, the installation site must be elevated and always protected from contact with water.
6.1.2 Permitted and prohibited mounting positions of the battery modules
☐ The product may only be mounted in a permitted position. This will ensure that no moisture can penetrate the
product.
☐ The product should be mounted such that the LED signals can be read off without difficulty.

6.1.3 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 batteries, inverters or objects.
