5.1 Selecting the Mounting Location
Requirements for the mounting location:
☐ The installation site must be freely and safely accessible at all times without the necessity for any
auxiliary equipment (such as scaffolding or lifting platforms). Non-fulfillment of these criteria
may restrict servicing.

with the mounting surface.
☐ The ambient temperature must be between − 25°C and +60°C.
☐ The LED display of the SMA PV Offset Box must be readable.
☐ The mounting location should be close to the inverter. If the device is mounted on the PV array,
support by SMA Service will not be possible.
