5.2 Location Requirements
To a large extent, a proper installation location ensures safe operation, service life, and per-
formance of the inverter.
• The inverter with protection rating IP65 can be installed both indoors and outdoors.
• The inverter should be installed at a height that allows easy viewing of the LED indicator
panel, as well as easy electrical connection, operation and maintenance.
5.2.1 Environment Requirements
• The installation environment must be free of inflammable or explosive materials.
• The location should not be accessible to children.
• The ambient temperature and relative humidity must meet the following requirements.
• Install the inverter in a sheltered area to avoid direct sunlight and bad weather (e.g. snow,
rain, lightning, etc.). The inverter will derate in high temperature environments for protec-
tion. If the inverter is installed in direct sunlight, it may cause power reduction as the tem-
perature rises.
• The inverter is IP65 rated. In dusty environments such as places full of dust, smoke, or
cotton fibers, particles may cling to the device’s air outlet or heat sink, thus impacting its
heat dissipation performance or even getting it damaged. Therefore, it is prohibited to in-
stall the inverter in dusty environments. If the inverter has to be installed in such environ-
ments, please clean its fans and heat sink on a regular basis to ensure a good heat
dissipation performance.
• The inverter should be well ventilated. Ensure air circulation.
• It is strictly prohibited to install the inverter in environments with vibration and strong elec-
tromagnetic field. Strong-magnetic-field environments refer to places where magnetic
field strength measures over 30A/m.
5.2.2 Carrier Requirements
The mounting structure where the inverter is installed must comply with local/national stand-
ards and guidelines. Ensure that the installation surface is solid enough to bear four times
