Preventing Radio Frequency interference (RFi): The unit uses high power switching
circuits that generate RfI. This RfI is limited to the required standards. Locate any elec-
tronic equipment susceptible to radio frequency and electromagnetic interference as far
away from the inverter as possible. Read Section 3, page 11 "Limiting Electromagnetic
Interference (EMI)" for additional information.

8.3 MoUntinG oRientAtion

The unit has air intake and exhaust openings for the cooling fan. It has to be mounted
in such a manner so that small objects should not be able to fall easily into the unit from
these openings and cause electrical / mechanical damage. Also, the mounting orienta-
tion should be such that if the internal components overheat and melt / dislodge due to
a catastrophic failure, the melted / hot dislodged portions should not be able to fall out
of the unit on to a combustible material and cause a fire hazard. The size of openings
has been limited as per the safety requirements to prevent the above possibilities when
the unit is mounted in the recommended orientations. In order to meet the regulatory
safety requirements, the mounting has to satisfy the following requirements:
- Mount on a non-combustible material.
- The mounting surface should be able to support the weight of the unit
- Mount horizontally on a horizontal surface - above a horizontal surface
(e.g. table top or a shelf).
- Mount horizontally on a vertical surface – The unit can be mounted on a vertical
surface (like a wall) with the fan axis horizontal (fan opening facing left or right).
WARninG!
Mounting the unit vertically on a vertical surface is NoT recommended (fan opening
facing up or down). As explained above, this is to prevent falling of objects into the unit
through the fan opening when the fan opening faces up. If fan opening faces down,
hot damaged component may fall out.
The surface of the unit is likely to be at an elevated temperature in conditions of higher
load and higher ambient temperature. Hence, the unit should be installed in a manner
where it is not likely to come in contact with any person.
