4.2 Selecting the Mounting Location
Consider the following requirements when selecting the mounting location:
• The mounting method and location must be suitable for the inverter's weight and dimensions
(see Section 11 "Technical Data" (page 76)).
• Mount on a solid surface.
• The mounting location must at all times be clear and safely accessible without the use of
additional aids such as scaffolding or lifting platforms. Non-fulfillment of these criteria may
restrict servicing.
• Mount vertically or tilted backwards by max. 45 °.
• Never mount the device with a forward tilt.
• Never mount the device with a sideways tilt.
• Do not mount horizontally.
• The connection area must point downward.
• Install at eye level in order to allow operating states 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 solar irradiation as this can cause excessive heating and
thus power reduction.
• In living areas, to avoid audible vibrations do not mount the device on plasterboard walls or
similar. When in operation, the inverter may emit noises which are perceived as annoying in
living areas.
