4 Mounting the Device
4.1 Selecting the Mounting Location
Observe the following conditions during installation:
• The installation method and mounting location must be suitable for the weight and dimensions
of the Sunny Island
• Mount on a solid surface.
• The installation location must be accessible at all times.
• The ambient temperature must be between − 25 °C and +50 °C.
• Do not expose the Sunny Islande to direct sunlight, so as to avoid power reduction due to
excessive heating.
• Install at eye level in order to allow the operating status to be read at all times.
DANGER!
Danger of death if installed in improper locations. Death or serious burns.
Despite careful construction, a fire can occur with electrical devices.
• Do not mount the Sunny Island on flammable construction materials.
• Do not mount the Sunny Island near highly flammable materials.
• Do not mount the Sunny Island in potentially explosive areas.
CAUTION!
Risk of burns through contact with the hot enclosure during operation.
Burns to the body.
• Mount the inverter in such a way that the enclosure cannot be touched inadvertently.
CAUTION!
Risk of injury due to the Sunny Island falling during transport.
Physical injury (fractures or crushing) and damage to the Sunny Island.
• Consider the weight of the Sunny Island (63 kg).
Overheating of the inverter due to close proximity to other inverters in areas with
high ambient temperatures.
If several inverters have been installed in areas with high ambient temperatures, the
independent cooling of the individual inverters needs to be guaranteed.
If needed, increase the distance between individual inverters and make sure that there is
an adequate fresh air supply in order to ensure the optimal operation of the inverters.
