3. INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
INSTALLATION ENVIRONMENT
Install the inverter in a location that meets the follow-
ing requirements:
-- The ambient temperature is between -lCPC
and to
-- The relative humidity is between 20% and 90%.
Avoid any location subject to dew condensa-
tion, freezing, or where the inverterwould come
in contact with water.
-- Do not install in any location subject to direct
sunlight, dust, corrosive gas, inflammable gas,
water vapor, or oil mist.
The inverter should be installed at an elevation
below 1000 meters (3281 feet) and vibration
should be less than
-- Motor wiring should be less than 66 feet. Oth-
erwise, wire seperation of 4 inches may be
required.
OPEN INSTALLATION MOUNTING
CLEARANCE
CAUTION: Because the ambient temperature
affects inverter life and do not install the
invetter in any location that exceeds the allowable
temperatures.
-- Install the inverter perpendicular to the ground
and with the lettering right side up. (If the
inverter is installed up-side-down or horizon-
tally, heat build-up will occur.)
-- Install at a sufficient distance from other equip-
ment, walls, or wiring ducts as shown in Figure
3-l (these clearances are required to allow for
proper cooling air circulation).
CAUTION: Durinq operation, the tempera-
ture of the fins of the inverter rise to
proximatelv 90 C (194 dearees For
this reason, the mountinq wall must be of heat
resistant material.
NOTE: When installing two or more
in close proximity, allow sufficient space as
shown in Figure 3-1 and install them in a hori-
zontal row. If they must be installed in a
row, spacemust be
provided between each one to prevent the
ambient temperature from rising.
-- See the appropriate view in Figure 33 for the
location of mounting holes.
-- Install the rubber bushings supplied with the
inverter into the cable openings in the wiring
lead-in plate to prevent cable damage and to
minimize dust entry.
