Revolutionary Cooling Systems PVP2800 - Manual (Page 6)

2.2 Mounting the StarInverter
The StarInverter should be mounted vertically to a flat, solid surface such as wallboard,
concrete or wood siding. The inverter should be located in close proximity to the solar
panels to minimize the DC wire length.
The two mounting brackets provided make mounting the StarInverter quick and simple.
There is one bracket for the top and one for the bottom. The two screw holes in each
bracket are 16 inches apart. Once the wall studs are located, anchoring the brackets
becomes an easy task.
WARNING:
Prior to drilling holes to mount the StarInverter in the location
selected, ensure there are no electrical wires or plumbing in the area.
CAUTION :
The National Electrical Code (NEC) requires that the inverter be connected to a dedicated
circuit with no other outlets or devices connected to the same circuit. See NEC Section
690-64(b)(1). The NEC also places limitations on the size of the inverter and the manner
in which it is connected to the utility grid. See NEC Section 690-64(b)(2).
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of fire, connect the PVP1800 or PVP2800 only to a circuit with 20 amps
maximum branch-circuit overcurrent protection in accordance with the National Electrical
Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70.
2.2.a Steps to Mount the StarInverter
1. Locate the wall studs in the desired location and mark upper mounting bracket
screw holes.
2. MAKE SURE BRACKET IS LEVEL. Drill holes for the screws through the holes
on the bracket. Use heavy-duty molly bolts or anchors if mounting into drywall
only. See Figure 2.

3. Remove the front cover of the StarInverter by unscrewing the two cover screws
located on the bottom of the inverter. (The PVP2800 will have four cover
screws located on the front and bottom of the inverter.)
