The SolarMax housing meets the requirements of protection type IP 54 and is suit-
able for outdoor installation. Protection rating IP 54 is only met if the enclosed AC
connector and the solar generator are connected via the MC-4 connectors.
In order to maximise the energy yield it is important to position the inverter cor-
rectly. The lower the ambient temperature, the more effi ciently the inverter will
operate.
Notwithstanding the high effi ciency of the SolarMax inverter, approx. 5 % of the
power has to be dissipated in the form of heat. To this end the base of the device

is made from cast aluminium, which ensures adequate cooling via convection and
an additional fan.
Please note:
■
The SolarMax may only be operated in an overvoltage category II AC installation!
If this is not the case, additional overvoltage-limiting elements (varistors) must
be installed at the network connection point.
■
If the SolarMax device is installed inside a building, the space should be well
ventilated.
■ The inverter must be mounted on a solid surface.
■ For fl ammable surfaces an additional fi reproof panel must be used, since the
heat sink may reach temperatures of up to 80 °C.
■
Please refer to the technical data for the maximum permissible ambient tem-
perature.
■ For optimum cooling the following distances should be adhered to: 0.5 m above,
0.5 m below, 0.3 m at the sides.
■
Multiple devices should be installed above each other, if possible. For side-by-
side installation the minimum distance between devices should be 0.5 m. If
different SolarMax models are used, they should be installed in the following
order (top to bottom): SolarMax 2000S, SolarMax 3000S, SolarMax 4200S,
SolarMax 6000S.
■
In external installations direct sunlight should be avoided. A protected installa-
tion location, for example under a canopy or a solar module, would be an advan-
tage. The device should also be protected from splashing, for example rainwater
dripping off roof or module edges.
■ The inverters must not be installed in cabinets, enclosed recesses or similar
locations.
■
Do not store fl ammable liquids near the inverter. Do not subject the inverter to
fl ammable gases or vapours.
■ The inverter must be positioned out of reach of small children.
■
The inverter and the supply lines must be installed such that they are inaccess-
ible to pets (especially rodents).
■ Due to noise emission it is advisable to avoid installation in living areas.
