5.1 Requirements for Mounting
Requirements for the Mounting Location:
WARNING
Danger to life due to fire or explosion
Despite careful construction, electrical devices can cause fires.
• Do not mount the product in areas containing highly flammable materials or gases.
• Do not mount the product in potentially explosive atmospheres.
☐ A solid support surface must be available (e.g. concrete or masonry, free-standing
constructions). When mounted on drywall or similar materials, the inverter emits audible
vibrations during operation which could be perceived as annoying.
☐ The installation site can be exposed to direct solar irradiation. There is, however, the possibility
that the product reduces its power output to avoid overheating due to high temperatures.
Permitted and prohibited mounting positions:
☐ The product may only be mounted in a permitted position. This will ensure that no moisture can
penetrate the product.
☐ The product should be mounted such that the LED signals can be read off without difficulty.

☐ Do not mount multiple inverters directly above one another.
