4. INSTALLATION
This product may only be installed by a qualified electrical engineer.
4.1 Location
The product must be installed in a dry and well-ventilated area, as close as possible to
the batteries. There should be a clear space of at least 10 cm around the appliance for
cooling.
Excessively high ambient temperature will result in the following:
•
Reduced service life.
•
Reduced peak capacity, or shutdown of the inverter.
Never position the appliance directly above the batteries.
The Phoenix Inverter is suitable for wall mounting. For mounting purposes, a hook and
two holes are provided at the back of the casing (see appendix G). The device can be
fitted either horizontally or vertically. For optimal cooling, vertical fitting is preferred.
The interior of the product must remain accessible after installation.
Try to keep the distance between the product and the battery to a minimum in order to
minimize cable voltage losses.
For safety purposes, this product should be installed in a heat-resistant
environment. You should prevent the presence of e.g. chemicals, synthetic
components, curtains or other textiles, etc., in the immediate vicinity.
