!
WARNING
Risk of fatal injury from fire or explosions. The blueplanet’s
housing may become hot during operation.
– Do not mount the blueplanet on flammable
materials.
– Do not install the blueplanet in areas which con-
tain highly flammable materials.
– Do not install the blueplanet in areas where there
is a risk of explosion.
!
CAUTION
Risk of burns from hot housing components.
Install the blueplanet so that unintentional contact with heat
sink is not possible.
5.1 Selecting an appropriate place for installation
NOTE
blueplanet inverters meet the requirements of pro-
tection class NEMA 3R if all cable feedthroughs are
used or appropriately sealed.
The units should be installed in areas that are as dry
as possible in order to extend their service life. It is
recommended that the units are installed in climate-
controlled areas in order to protect them from over-
heating. This also extends their service life.
The following items are important when you select the
place of installation for the inverter:
– Ensure good access to the unit for installation or any
service work that may later be required.
– Maintain the following minimum clearances around
the unit:
7
7/8
” side clearance to other units,
27
1/2
” clearance to other stacked units,
19
5/8
” clearance to cabinets, ceilings and above unit,
36” from bottom to ground when mounted outdoors.
– The unit is designed for vertical wall installation.
– Air must be allowed to circulate freely around the
housing and through the heat sink on the rear side.
Section 5 · Installation and Start-Up
– If the inverter is built into a switching cabinet or simi-
lar, provide forced ventilation to ensure that heat is
sufficiently dissipated.
– The heat sink may reach a max. temperature of 194 °F.
Therefore, mount the inverter only on walls made
from heat-resistant material.
– Ensure that the wall has adequate load-bearing capa-
city and use appropriate installation material.
– Be sure to install the inverter in a sufficiently elevated
place, especially in areas prone to flooding, however
it is important to note that the minimum distance to
ground is 3 feet when mounted outdoors.
– Installation at eye level makes it easier to read the
display.
– Mount the inverter in a location where the ambient
temperature is ideally in the range of -4 °F to +104 °F.
5.2 Installing the inverter

ACTION
– Mount the inverter so that the wall bracket fits into the
notch on the rear of the inverter assembly mounting
plate
– Then secure the inverter assembly mounting plate
with the help of the upper interlock Figure 5.1, (4).
