4.2 Selecting the Mounting Location
Consider the following points when selecting where to install:
• The mounting method and location must be suitable for the inverter's weight and dimensions
(see section 14 ”Technical Data” (page 85)).
• 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 backwards by max. 15°.
• Never mount the device with a forward tilt.
• Do not mount horizontally.
• The connection area must point downward.
• Mount at eye level to allow operating status to be read at all times.
• To ensure optimal operation, the ambient temperature should be below 40 °C.
• Do not expose the inverter to direct sunlight to avoid a power reduction due to excessive
heating.
• In a living area, do not mount the unit on plasterboard walls (or similar) in order to avoid audible
vibrations. The inverter can make noises when in use, which may be perceived as a nuisance in
a living area.
