Location
To ensure a trouble free operation of the inverter, it must be used in locations that meet the following requirements:
Avoid any contact with water. Do not expose the inverter to rain or moisture.
Install the inverter in a dry and well-ventilated area.
For best operating results, the inverter should be mounted on a flat surface.
Mount as close as possible to the batteries. Try and keep the distance between the product and the battery to a minimum in order to minimize cable voltage losses.
There should be a clear space of at least 10cm around the appliance for cooling. Do not obstruct the airflow around the inverter. When the inverter is running too hot, it will shut down. When the inverter has reached a safe temperature level, the unit will automatically restart again.
Do not place the unit in direct sunlight. The ambient air temperature should be between -20°C and 40°C (humidity <95% non-condensing). Note that in extreme situations the inverter’s case temperature can exceed 70°C.
Warning
Excessive high ambient temperature will result in a reduced service life, reduced peak power rating or shutdown of the inverter.
Never mount the inverter directly above the batteries.
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.
