2.1 Location
Proper location of the CSD Series is necessary to achieve specified
performance and normal lifetime operation. The CSD Series should
always be installed in an area where the following conditions exist:
• Ambient operating temperature:
Enclosed unit: -10 to 40° C (14 to 104° F).
Chassis unit: -10 to 50° C (14 to 122° F).
• Protected from rain and moisture
• Shielded from direct sunshine
• Free from metallic particles and corrosive gas.
Make sure there is sufficient clearance around the CSD Series unit for
cooling, wiring and maintenance purposes. To maximize the effective
air flow (and cooling), the inverter should be installed with its heatsink
ribs oriented vertically. We also recommend you remove the front cover
if possible when you mount the inverter inside a larger enclosure. This
will further improve the air flow over the electronic components and
improve the unit’s reliability. (Fig. 2 - 1). Refer to the chart below for
model heat dissipation requirements when installing your unit.
