Never install the inverter in a sealed enclosure with flooded batteries. Gas can
accumulate and there is a risk of explosion.
The inverter should be mounted to a solid horizontal base. Vertical
installations need to ensure clearance of fans for proper cooling. Never
mount the inverter upside down due to lack of heat dissipation.
Cool, dry, well-ventilated area —
Heat is the worst enemy for electronic equipment.
Inverters must be in an area where the fans are not blocked or where they are not hit
directly by the sun. They should be in an area free of any kind of moisture and allow for
clearance of at least 10” around the unit to provide for adequate ventilation.
Protection against fire hazard —
the unit should be away from any flammable
material, liquids, or any other combustible material. The unit can spark and the
consequences could be severe.
Close proximity to battery bank—
prevent excessive voltage drop by keeping the unit
close to the battery bank and having a properly sized wire going from the battery bank
to the inverter.
Limiting electromagnetic interference (EMI)
— ensure the inverter is firmly grounded
to a building, vehicle, or earth grounded. Keep the inverter away from EMI receptors
such as TVs, radios, and other audio/visual electronics to prevent damage/interference
to the equipment.
Secure inverter
—the inverter could be stand alone or mounted using the outlying
terminals on the inverter.
