MOUNTING
PRECAUTIONS
1) When preparing to mount the VS-616G5, lift it by its base. Never lift it by the front cover.
2) Mount the inverter onto nonflammable material.
3) The VS-616G5 generates heat. For the most effective cooling possible, mount it vertically. For
more details, refer to “Dimensions/Heat Loss” on pages 15-18 and “Clearances” on page 19. For
mounting configurations other than normal vertical mounting, please consult the factory.
4) When mounting units in an enclosure, install a fan or other cooling device to keep the intake air
temperature below 113°F (45°C).
Failure to observe these precautions may result in equipment damage.
Choosing a Location
Be sure that the inverter is mounted in a location protected against the following conditions:
· Extreme cold and heat. Use only within the ambient temperature range:
NEMA 1: 14 to 104°F (-10 to 40°C).
Open Chassis: 14 to 113°F (-10 to 45°C)
· Direct sunlight (not for use outdoors)
· Rain, moisture
· High humidity
· Oil sprays, splashes
· Salt spray
· Dust or metallic particles in the air
· Corrosive gases (e.g. sulfurized gas) or liquids
· Radioactive substances
· Combustibles (e.g. thinner, solvents, etc.)
· Physical shock, vibration
· Magnetic noise (e.g. welding machines, power devices, etc.)
