5.1 Requirements for Installation
Requirements for the mounting location:
☐ Do not mount the inverter on a pillar.
☐ The mounting location must be inaccessible to children.
☐ A solid foundation must be available for mounting, e.g. concrete or masonry. When mounted
on plasterboard or similar materials, the inverter will emit audible vibrations during operation,
which could be perceived as annoying.
☐ The mounting location must be suitable for the weight and dimensions of the inverter
(see Section12 "Technical Data", page60).
☐ Climatic conditions must be met (see Section12 "Technical Data", page60).
☐ The ambient temperature must be below 40°C to ensure optimum operation of the inverter.
If the power output is reduced, the inverter can also be operated at higher ambient temperatures
without risk.
☐ The mounting location should be freely and safely accessible at all times without the necessity
for any auxiliary equipment, such as scaffolding or lifting platforms. Non-fulfillment of these
criteria may restrict the execution of service assignments.
☐ The mounting location must not be exposed to direct solar irradiation. Direct solar irradiation
can cause the inverter to overheat. As a result, the inverter reduces its power output.
Danger to life due to fire or explosions
Despite careful construction, electrical devices can cause fires.
• Do not mount the inverter on flammable construction materials.
• Do not mount the inverter in areas where highly flammable materials are stored.
• Do not mount the inverter in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
