is made from cast aluminium, which ensures adequate cooling via convection and
an additional fan.
Please note:
n The SolarMax may only be operated in an overvoltage category II AC installation!
If this is not the case, additional overvoltage-limiting elements (varistors) must
be installed at the network connection point.
n If the SolarMax device is installed inside a building, the space should be well
ventilated.
n The inverter must be mounted on a solid surface.
n For flammable surfaces an additional fireproof panel must be used, since the
heat sink may reach temperatures of up to 80 °C.
n Please refer to the technical data for the maximum permissible ambient tem-
perature.
n For optimum cooling the following distances should be adhered to: 0.5 m above,
0.5 m below, 0.3 m at the sides.
n Multiple devices should be installed above each other, if possible. For side-by-
side installation the minimum distance between devices should be 0.5 m. If
different SolarMax models are used, they should be installed in the following
order (top to bottom): SolarMax 2000S, SolarMax 3000S, SolarMax 4200S,
SolarMax 6000S.
n In external installations direct sunlight should be avoided. A protected installa-
tion location, for example under a canopy or a solar module, would be an advan-
tage. The device should also be protected from splashing, for example rainwater
dripping off roof or module edges.
n The inverters must not be installed in cabinets, enclosed recesses or similar
locations.
n Do not store flammable liquids near the inverter. Do not subject the inverter to
flammable gases or vapours.
n The inverter must be positioned out of reach of small children.
n The inverter and the supply lines must be installed such that they are inaccess-
ible to pets (especially rodents).
n Due to noise emission it is advisable to avoid installation in living areas.

The SolarMax housing meets the requirements of protection type IP 54 and is suit-
able for outdoor installation. Protection rating IP 54 is only met if the enclosed AC
connector and the solar generator are connected via the MC-4 connectors.
In order to maximise the energy yield it is important to position the inverter cor-
rectly. The lower the ambient temperature, the more efficiently the inverter will
operate.
Notwithstanding the high efficiency of the SolarMax inverter, approx. 5 % of the
power has to be dissipated in the form of heat. To this end the base of the device
