Inverter Mounting
The DR Series inverter can weigh as much as 45 lb. (20.4 kg). Wallboard is not
strong enough to support its weight so additional support must be used or added.
The inverter can be mounted directly to the wall studs if the wall studs are 16"
apart. If not, then 2x4’s or plywood can be used.
To secure the DR Inverter to the wall studs:
1. Locate the studs and mark their location on the wall.
2. Measure the desired height from the floor for the inverter to be mounted.
3. Using a level, run a horizontal line. The length of the line must span at least
three studs.
4. Using the dimensions illustrated in Figure 2-6, drill mounting holes into the
center of the studs for the inverter.
5. Secure the inverter to the studs using ¼ x 1½ inch lag bolts and washers.
To secure the DR Inverter to the mounting location using 2 x 4’s or plywood:
1. Repeat steps 1 through 3 above.
2. Place a pre-cut 2 x 4 (flat side against the wall) on the marked location and
drill pilot holes through the 2 x 4’s and studs.
WARNING: Personal Injury
Use appropriate lifting techniques. Have extra people on hand to assist in lifting the
inverter into position while it is being secured.
