• Never mount the device with a forward tilt.
• Never mount the device with a sideways tilt.
• Do not mount horizontally.
• Mount at eye level in order that operating states can be read at all times.
• The ambient temperature should be below 40°C to ensure optimum operation.
• Do not expose the inverter to direct solar irradiation as this could cause power derating due to
overheating.
• In order to avoid audible vibrations in living areas, do not mount the unit on plasterboard walls
or similar. When in operation, the inverter emits noise which may be perceived as annoying in
living areas.
• Observe the minimum clearances to walls, other
inverters and objects as shown in the diagram in
order to ensure sufficient heat dissipation and to
have sufficient space for removing the
Electronic Solar Switch.
Multiple inverters installed in areas with high ambient temperatures
There must be sufficient clearance between the individual inverters to ensure that the
cooling air of the adjacent inverter is not drawn in.
If necessary, increase the clearances and make sure there is enough fresh-air supply to
ensure sufficient cooling of the inverters.
