PLACEMENT AND CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS
The system dimensions and required clearances MUST be taken
into consideration when choosing its location within a structure.
(See Figure 2 for dimensions and clearance requirements.)
The best installation location for the system is in a space requiring
heat so some amount of the heating requirements can be satisfied
through static dissipation from the warm outer panels of the
Storage Module(s). In situations where the system is not installed
in an area it is intended to heat (i.e. garage), it is important to
account for the heat lost through static dissipation by making
proper adjustments when sizing.
The minimum area required for the installation of the system is 100 square feet per Storage Module. This area
must remain free of debris and room air should be maintained at less than 85
o Fahrenheit. Ventilation
MUST be provided if the system is being installed in an area with less than 600 square feet. It is the responsibility
of the installer and system designer to provide this ventilation.
In addition to the physical space requirements, the weight of the system must also be taken into consideration
when selecting the installation surface. A level concrete floor is the designed installation surface, but most well
supported surfaces are acceptable. If unsure of floor load capacity, consult a building contractor or architect.
Special requirements must be considered if placing the system in a garage or other area where
combustible vapors may be present. Consult local, state, and national codes and regulations to
ensure proper installation.

Risk of injury or fire. Violation of the
clearance requirements and/or failure to
provide proper ventilation can cause
improper operation of the system. Main-
tain the placement and clearance require-
ments as specified and provide ventilation
as necessary.
