4.2. Selecting the Mounting Area
For proper heat dissipation, allow a clearance of approximately 500mm to the side,
500mm above and below the unit, and 1000mm to the front of the unit.
DO NOT install the inverter in the following areas:
Areas with high salt content, such as the marine environment. It will deteriorate the
metal parts and possibly lead to water/dampness penetrating the unit.
Areas filled with mineral oil or containing splashed oil or steam such as found in
kitchens. It will deteriorate plastic parts of the unit, causing those parts to fail or allow
water/damp to penetrate the unit.
Areas that generate substances that adversely affect the equipment, such as
sulphuric gas, chlorine gas, acid, or alkali. These can cause the copper pipes and
brazed joints to corrode and fail to conduct electricity reliably.
Areas that can cause combustible gas to leak, which contains suspended carbon-
fibre or flammable dust, or volatile inflammable such as paint thinner or gasoline.
Areas where there may be gas leaks and where gas may settle around the unit as
this is a fire risk.
Areas where animals may urinate on the unit or ammonia may be generated.
High altitude areas (over 4000 metres above sea level).
