4. INSTALLATION
This product should be installed by a qualified electrician.
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.
