4. INSTALLATION
This product should be installed by a qualified electrician.
During installation ensure that the remote connector with wire bridge is removed (or swtich off the remote on/off switch if
installed) to be sure that the inverter cannot be switched on unexpectedly.
4.1 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 10cm around the appliance for cooling.
Excessively high ambient temperature will result in the following:
Reduced service life.
Reduced charging current.
Reduced peak capacity, or shutdown of the inverter.
Never mount the appliance directly above the batteries.
The product is suitable for wall mounting. For mounting see appendix A.
The appliance can be mounted horizontally as well as vertically; vertical mounting is preferable. The vertical position offers optimum
cooling.
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 if it is used with equipment where a
substantial amount of power is to be converted. You should
prevent the presence of e.g. chemicals, synthetic components,
curtains or other textiles, etc., in the immediate vicinity.
4.2 Connection of Battery cables
In order to fully utilize the full capacity of the product, batteries with sufficient capacity and battery cables with sufficient cross section
