47 Planning and mounting the inverter

This section will provide you information's about configuring and installing your inverter. Make sure that you are
aware of local rules and safety measurements.
47.1

Required power draw

Before connecting your appliances to the inverter, always check the power draw required. The inverter is
affordable to supply surge power for a short time, so as to start up electrical equipment such as pumps, motors,
etc. Some equipment needs more power while starting up.
The inverter is protected against overload and will switch off automatically when overload is applied. As ambient
temperature is above 20°C the inverters nominal power may be smaller due to reduced cooling.
Using the inverter in high altitudes may also reduce nominal power of the inverter because of less heat discharge.
As a rule of thumb, the reduction of nominal power is approximately 1.5% per 100m elevation.

Installation

These units must be only installed by qualified, authorized and trained personnel familiar with the locally
applicable standards and taking into consideration all relevant safety guidelines and measures!
Before installing the unit check for correct DC-Voltage and power level of the inverter.
The Inverter may be installed in any position. Install the inverter in a dry, well ventilated and dust free location. It
must be installed out of reach for unauthorized personnel especially children's. Do not install the inverter in the
same compartment as the batteries.
Never use or install the inverter in locations where there is gas or explosive danger!
For proper cooling of the Inverter ensure that the airflow is not obstructed and keep a clearance distance of 2.5cm
to other units. If the inverter is installed in a closed compartment the nominal power may be reduced.
In order to keep the battery cables as short as possible (max. 3m) locate the inverter close to the DC-Distribution
or Battery. Be aware that during charging of batteries an explosive gas can be generated.
