5.1 Selecting the Mounting Location
Requirements for the mounting location:
☐ A firm surface must be available for mounting, such as a masonry wall, studs, or posts. In living
areas, make sure that the surface is not made of plasterboard or similar. The Smartformer makes
noises when in use, which can be regarded as a nuisance.
☐ The mounting location must be suitable for the weight and dimensions of the Smartformer
(see Section 14 "Technical Data", page 64).
☐ The mounting location is clear and has safe access at all times without any additional aids being
necessary (such as scaffolding or lifting platforms). Non-fulfillment of these criteria may restrict
servicing.
☐ The ambient conditions are met (see Section 14 "Technical Data", page 64). This ensures
optimal operation of the Smartformer.
☐ The mounting location must not be exposed to direct solar irradiation.
Danger to life due to fire or explosion
Despite careful construction, electrical devices can cause fires.
• Do not mount the Smartformer on flammable construction materials.
• Do not mount the Smartformer near highly flammable materials.
• Do not mount the Smartformer in potentially explosive atmospheres.
Danger to life due to electric shock
Penetrating moisture may result in voltage being applied to parts of the mounting location.
• Do not mount the Smartformer outdoors.
Destruction of the Smartformer due to direct solar irradiation
Direct solar irradiation can damage the paintwork on the Smartformer enclosure and lead to
enclosure corrosion.
• Ensure that the Smartformer is not exposed to direct solar irradiation.
