5.1 Requirements for Mounting
Requirements for the mounting location:
Danger to life due to fire or explosion
Despite careful construction, electrical devices can cause fires.
• Do not mount the inverter in areas containing highly flammable materials or gases.
• Do not mount the inverter in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
☐ Do not mount the inverter on a pillar.
☐ A solid support surface must be available for mounting, e.g. concrete or masonry.
☐ The support surface must be even. The difference between the outer anchoring points must not
exceed 5 mm.
☐ The mounting location must be suitable for the weight and dimensions of the inverter (see
Section 11 "Technical Data", page 52).
☐ The mounting location should not be exposed to direct solar irradiation. Direct solar irradiation
can cause the inverter to overheat. As a result, the inverter reduces its power output.
☐ The mounting location should be freely and safely accessible at all times without the need for
any auxiliary equipment (such as scaffolding or lifting platforms). Non-fulfillment of these
criteria may restrict servicing.
☐ To ensure optimum operation, the ambient temperature should be between -25°C and 40°C.
☐ Climatic conditions must be met (see Section 11 "Technical Data", page 52).
