Installation notes

Observe the following information during mechanical installation:

  • Carefully check the inverter for damage before the installation.
  • Store the inverter in its original packaging until it is used. The storage location must be clean and dry with an ambient temperature between ‑40 °C and +60 °C.
  • Install the inverter in a suitable housing on a level, vertical, non-flammable, and vibration-free surface. If a certain IP degree of protection is required, observe EN 60529.
  • Keep flammable materials away from the inverter.
  • Prevent the ingress of conductive or flammable foreign objects.
  • The relative humidity must be kept below 95% (condensation is not permitted).
  • Protect the IP55/IP66 inverter from direct sunlight. Use a cover when using the inverter outdoors.
  • Inverters can be installed next to each other. Ensure sufficient ventilation space between the individual devices. If the inverter is to be installed above another inverter or another device that dissipates heat, then there must be a vertical minimum clearance of 150 mm. To enable self-cooling, the control cabinet must either be cooled through forced ventilation, or dimensioned accordingly. See chapter IP20 housing: Installation and installation space.
  • The permitted ambient temperatures are defined in chapter Ambient conditions.
  • The mounting rail installation is only possible for the following inverters with degree of protection IP20.
    • 200 – 240 V: 0.75 – 2.2 kW
    • 380 – 480 V: 0.75 – 4 kW
    • 500 – 600 V: 0.75 – 5.5 kW
  • The mounting rail must have the dimensions 35 × 15 mm or 35 × 7.5 mm and be designed in accordance with EN 50022.
