4 Mounting the Device
4.1 Safety
4.2 Selecting the Mounting Location
Consider the following points when selecting where to install:
• The installation method and mounting location must be suitable for the inverter's weight and
dimensions (see section 11 ”Technical Data” (page 63)).
• Mount on a solid surface.
• The mounting location must at all times be clear and have safe access without the use of
additional aids such as scaffolding or lifting platforms. Any possible service actions are
otherwise limited.
• Vertical installation or tilted backward by max. 45°.
• The connection area must point downward.
• Never install the device with a forward tilt.
DANGER!
Danger to life due to fire or explosion!
Despite careful construction, electrical devices can cause fires.
• Do not mount the inverter on flammable construction materials.
• Do not mount the inverter in areas where highly flammable materials are stored.
• Do not mount the inverter in areas with a risk of explosion.
CAUTION!
Danger of burn injuries due to hot enclosure parts.
• Mount the inverter in such a way that the enclosure cannot be touched inadvertently.
CAUTION!
Risk of injury due to the heavy weight of the inverter.
• Take the inverter's weight of approx. 25 kg into account for mounting.
