3.3 Where to install
Your inverter should be installed in a location that meets the following requirements:
- Dry:
Keep the inverter away from any water or moisture.
- Cool:
Ambient air temperature should be between 32 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit (0 and 30
o
Celsius).
- Ventilated:
Ensure that the unit is located in a well-ventilated compartment. At least 6 inches of clearance are required
around the inverter for air flow. Verify that all ventilation openings on the unit (front and rear panels) are
not obstructed.
CAUTION!
To avoid fire hazards and/or overheating, do not cover or obstruct any ventilation openings. Do not install
the inverter in a zero clearance compartment.
-
Safe: Do not install the inverter in the same compartment as batteries, or in any compartment capable of storing
flammable liquids (such as gasoline). Power inverters may produce sparks that can result in fire if exposed
to flammable vapors.
