Installation
2.2 Mounting the Inverter
The inverter base can reach a temperature up to 90°C (194°F) and should be mounted on
a noncombustible surface*. This surface and the mounting hardware must also be capable of
supporting at least twice the weight of the inverter. To meet regulatory requirements, the ME-G
Series must be mounted in one of the following positions, as shown in Figure 2-2:
• above or under a horizontal surface (shelf or table),
• on a vertical surface (wall) with the DC terminals to the right,
• on a vertical surface (wall) with the DC terminals toward the bottom, the MP-HOOD (inverter
hood) installed on the top, and either the ME-CB or MPX-CB (Conduit Box) installed on the
inverter’s bottom.
Info: The ME-CB, MPX-CB, and MMP Series enclosures prevent material from falling out
the bottom during an internal fi re, and also allow suffi cient ventilation to prevent the
inverter from overheating under normal operating conditions. The MP-HOOD inverter
hood helps prevent items from falling inside causing damage to the inverter.
After determining the mounting position, refer to the physical dimensions as shown in Figure
2-3, or use the base of the inverter as a template to mark your mounting screw locations. After
marking the mounting screw locations, mount the unit with appropriate mounting hardware.
* Noncombustible surface – A surface made of material that will not ignite, burn, support combustion, or
release fl ammable vapors when subjected to fi re or heat as per the ASTM E136 standard. For the most
part, these are materials that are largely comprised of inorganic matter such as stone, steel, iron, brick,
tile, concrete, slate, and glass. Avoid common building materials such as gypsum board, painted surfaces,
wall coverings, and all types of wood. Note: Sensata provides a noncombustible backplate for mounting the
inverter.
