9.1 Location
The product must be installed in a dry and well-ventilated area, as close as possible to the batteries. There should be a
clear space of at least 10 cm around the product for cooling.
WARNING: Excessively high ambient temperature will result in the following:
• Reduced service life.
• Reduced charging current.
• Reduced peak capacity, or shutdown of the inverter. Never position the appliance directly above the batteries.
This product is suitable for wall mounting. For mounting purposes, a hook and two holes are provided at the back of the
casing (see appendix G). The device can be fitted either horizontally or vertically. For optimal cooling, vertical fitting is
preferred.
WARNING: The interior of the product must remain accessible after installation.
Try and keep the distance between the product and the battery to a minimum in order to minimize cable voltage losses.
For safety purposes, this product should be installed in a heat-resistant environment. You should prevent the presence of
e.g. chemicals, synthetic components, curtains or other textiles, etc., in the immediate vicinity.
