5.1 Requirements for Mounting
Requirements for the mounting location:
Danger to life due to fire or explosion
Despite careful construction, electrical devices can cause fires.
• Do not mount the inverter in areas containing highly flammable materials or gases.
• Do not mount the inverter in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
☐ The inverter must be mounted on a solid support surface (e.g. concrete, brickwork, suitable
constructions). When mounted on drywall or similar materials, the inverter emits audible
vibrations during operation which could be perceived as annoying.
☐ The inverter can be mounted in direct solar irradiation, but this can reduce the service life of
the display, and, due to high temperatures, the inverter might reduce its power to prevent
overheating.
☐ The DC load-break switch of the inverter must always be freely accessible.
☐ The mounting location must be suitable for the weight and dimensions of the inverter (see
Section10 "Technical Data", page61).
☐ To ensure optimum operation, the ambient temperature should be between -25°C (-13°F) and
+45°C (113°F).
☐ Climatic conditions must be met (see Section10 "Technical Data", page61).
☐ The mounting location should be freely and safely accessible at all times without the need for
any auxiliary equipment (such as scaffolding or lifting platforms). Non-fulfillment of these
criteria may restrict servicing.
