2 .2 Mounting t he I nvert e r
The inverter base can reach a temperature up to 90°C (194°F) and should be mounted on a non-
combustible 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 MS-PE 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 one of the following installed on the bottom:
ME-CB or MPX-CB (conduit boxes), MS-CEFB (CE fi lter box), MMP-E Series (single inverter
enclosure), or MP-E Series (multiple inverter enclosure).
I nfo: The ME-CB, MPX-CB, MS-CEFB, MMP-E and MP-E enclosures all prevent material
from falling out the bottom in the event of an internal fi re. The MP-HOOD inverter hood
prevents items from falling inside, causing damage to the inverter.
I nfo: Magnum provides a backplate for mounting the inverter. These backplates also
provide the ability to mount either the MMP-E Series enclosure (PN: BP-MMP) or the
MP-E Series enclosure (PN: BP-S single plate, or BP-D dual plate).
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.
* Non-com bustible surface – A surface m ade of m at erial that will not ignite, burn, support com bustion, or
release fl am m able vapors when subjected t o fi re or heat as per t he ASTM E136 standard. For t he m ost part,
these are m at erials t hat are largely com prised of inorganic m at erials such as st one, steel, iron, brick, t ile
concret e, slat e, and glass. Avoid com m on building m at erials such as gypsum board, paint ed surfaces, wall
coverings, and any t ype of wood.

"WARNING- Risk of electrical shock. Use only the
ground-fault circuit-interrupter [receptacle(s) or
circuit breaker(s)] specified in the installation and
operation instructions manual supplied with the
inverter. Other types may fail to operate properly
when connected to this inverter equipment."
"CAUTION- To prevent fire, do not cover or obstru
c
ventilation openings. Do not mount in zero-clearan
c
compartment. Overheating may result."
"WARNING: MORE THAN ONE LIVE CIRCUIT.
