1. Installation
1.1 Location of the inverter
1 Ceiling mounting (inverted).
2. Base mounting.
3 Vertical wall mounting, fan at
bottom.
4 Vertical wall mounting, fan on
top.
5 Horizontal wall mounting.
For best operating results, the inverter should be placed on a flat surface. To ensure a
trouble free operation of the inverter, it must be used in locations that meet the
following requirements:
a) Avoid any contact with water. Do not expose the inverter to rain or moisture.
b) Do not place the unit in direct sunlight. Ambient air temperature should be
between -20 C and 40 C (humidity < 95% non condensing). Note that in
extreme situations the inverter's case temperature can exceed 70 C.
c) Do not obstruct the airflow around the inverter. Leave at least 10
centimetres clearance around the inverter. When the inverter is running too
hot, it will shut down. When the inverter has reached a safe temperature
level the unit will automatically restart again.

1.2 Battery requirements

For correct operation, the battery voltage should be between 0.88xVnom and
1.25xVnom where Vnom is 12V or 24V depending on the model, and must be able to
supply sufficient current to your inverter. The following table displays the
recommended battery capacity per inverter type :
