Chapter 3 Environment & Installation 
 
3.1 Environment 
Installation environment has a direct effect on the correct operation and the life expectancy of the 
inverter, Install the inverter in an environment complying with the following conditions:  
 
Protection 
Protection 
class 
IP20 Open Type 
Suitable environment 
Operating 
temperature 
-10~40°C (-10~50°C with fan) (non-freezing) 
If several inverters are installed in the same control panel, ensure 
adequate spacing and provide the necessary cooling and ventilation for 
successful operation. 
Storage 
temperature 
-20~60°C 
 Relative 
Humidity 
Max 95%  (without condensation)      
Altitude 
Altitude:Below 1000m (3281ft) 
 
It is required to reduce 2% of inverter 
rated current at each additional 
100m. The maximum altitude is 
3000m 
Vibration 
Frequency: 10Hz - 150Hz - 10Hz 
Amplitude(0.3mm): 10Hz ≦f ≦57Hz 
Acceleration(2G): 57Hz ≦f ≦150Hz  
(According to IEC60068-2-6 standard)      
 
Installation site 
Install in an environment that will not have an adverse effect on the operation of the unit 
and ensure that there is no exposure to areas such as that listed below:- 
 
  Direct sunlight, Rain or moisture 
  Oil mist and salt 
  Dust, lint fibres, small metal filings and corrosive liquid and gas 
  Electromagnetic interference from sources such as welding equipment 
  Radioactive and flammable materials 
  Excessive vibration from machines such as stamping, punching machines 
  Add  vibration-proof pads if necessary
