- Mount horizontally on a horizontal surface - above a horizontal surface
(e.g. table top or a shelf).
- Mount horizontally on a vertical surface – The unit can be mounted on a vertical
surface (like a wall) with the fan axis horizontal (fan opening facing left or right).
WARninG!
Mounting the unit vertically on a vertical surface is NoT allowed (fan opening
facing up or down). As explained above, this is to prevent falling of objects into
the unit through the fan opening when the fan opening faces up. If fan open-
ing faces down, hot damaged component may fall out.

Preventing Dc input over Voltage
It is to be ensured that the DC input voltage of this unit does not exceed 16.5 VDC for
the 12 -V battery versions and 33.0 VDC for the 24 -V battery versions to prevent perma-
nent damage to the unit. Please observe the following precautions:
- Ensure that the maximum charging voltage of the external battery charger / alterna-
tor / solar charge controller does not exceed 16.5 VDC for the 12V battery version and
33.0 VDC for the 24 -V battery version
- Do not use unregulated solar panels to charge the battery connected to this unit.
Under open circuit conditions and in cold ambient temperatures, the output of the
solar panel may be > 44 VDC. Always use a charge controller between the solar panel
and the battery.
- When using Diversion Charge Control Mode in a charge controller, the solar / wind /
hydro source is directly connected to the battery bank. In this case, the controller will
divert excess current to an external load. As the battery charges, the diversion duty
cycle will increase. When the battery is fully charged, all the source energy will flow
into the diversion load if there are no other loads. The charge controller will discon-
nect the diversion load if the current rating of the controller is exceeded. Disconnec-
tion of the diversion load may damage the battery as well as the inverter or other DC
loads connected to the battery due to high voltages generated during conditions of
high winds (for wind generators), high water flow rates (for hydro generators). It is,
therefore, to be ensured that the diversion load is sized correctly to prevent the above
over voltage conditions.
- Do not connect this unit to a battery system with a voltage higher than the rated bat-
tery input voltage of the unit (e.g. do not connect the 12V version of the unit to 24V
or 48V Battery System)
Preventing Reverse Polarity on the input Side
!
cAUtion!
Damage caused by reverse polarity is not covered by warranty! When making
battery connections on the input side, make sure that the polarity of battery
connections is correct (Connect the Positive of the battery to the Positive
