4. Installation
4.1 Where to install
The power inverter should be installed in a location that meets the following
requirements:
Caution
Do not connect this inverter and another AC source (generator or utility power) to
the AC wiring or AC loads at the same time. Doing so will destroy the inverter and
void the warranty, regardless whether the inverter is switched on or off. If you are
using more than one AC source for the AC wiring or AC loads, it is highly
recommended that you install an automatic transfer switch (GP-TS), available
from Go Power! Electric Inc.
a) Dry - Do not allow water to drip or splash on the inverter.
b) Cool - Ambient air temperature should be between 0°C and 40°C (the cooler the
better).
c) Ventilated - Allow at least two inches of clearance around the inverter for air flow.
Ensure the ventilation openings on the rear and bottom of the unit are not
obstructed.
