SMA Sunny Island 5048 - 4 Mounting; Selecting the Mounting Location

Mounting SMA Solar Technology AG
24 SI5048-TB-TEN110340 Technical Description
4 Mounting
4.1 Selecting the Mounting Location
Observe the following conditions during mounting:
• The mounting location and method must be suitable for the Sunny Island's weight and
dimensions.
• Mount on a solid surface.
• The mounting location must be accessible at all times.
• The ambient temperature must be between –25 °C and +50 °C.
• Do not expose the Sunny Island to direct sunlight, so as to avoid power reduction due to
excessive heating.
• Install at eye level in order to allow operation conditions to be read at all times.
• Mount vertically or tilted backward by max. 45°.
• Never mount the device with a forward tilt.
DANGER!
Danger of death if installed in improper locations. Death or serious burns.
Despite careful construction, electrical devices can cause fires.
• 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 hot enclosure parts 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.
• Take the Sunny Island's weight of 63 kg into account.
Overheating of the Sunny Island due to close proximity to other Sunny Island
inverters in areas with high ambient temperatures.
If several inverters have been installed in areas with high ambient temperatures, the
independent cooling of individual inverters needs to be guaranteed.
If needed, increase the distance between the individual inverters and provide enough fresh
air to ensure the optimal operation of the inverters.
