A5 Inverter Hood Info
The inverter hood (PN: MP-Hood) is a powder-coated steel cover plate, designed to prevent
inverter damage from objects falling through the top vents of the inverter. The hood is required
for installations when the inverters are mounted on a vertical surface (DC side down)—such as
on the MMP enclosure.
Info:
The hood does not mount to the inverter chassis, it must be mounted against the
wall.
The mounting slots on the hood will accept up to a maximum 1/4 inch screw/bolt.
CAUTION:
The hood is not to be used as a drip shield
to prevent water drip from
entering the inverter.
Installation Guidelines:
1. The bottom edge of the hood must be mounted fl ush against the top of the Magnum inverter;
this is the optimal position for minimizing the risk of objects falling into the inverter, and at
the same time providing the clearance needed for air fl ow from the top vents of the inverter.
2. Do not place anything on top of the hood that might cause it to bend downward; or, place anything
on the sides to restrict air fl ow through the inverter.
