(1) Use the wall-mounted bracket as a template and drill 7 holes in the wall, 10 mm in diameter and 80 mm deep. The inverter size of
3.3 Inverter Installation 1500W, 2000W, 3000W models can be referred to Figure 3.3.2-1, and the size of other models is as Figure3.3.2-2.
3.3.1 Selecting the installation location (2) Fix the wall mounting bracket on the wall using the expansion bolts in the accessories bag.
(3) Hold the inverter by the groove on the heat sink as Figure 3.3.2-3.
The following must be considered when selecting the best location for an inverter:
(4) Place the inverter on the wall-mounted bracket as illustrated in Figure3.3.2-4, 3.3.2-5, 3.3.2-6.
●The mount and installation method must be appropriate for the inverter's weight and dimensions.
(5) Insert the lock plate pegs into the two holes in the heat-sink, then fix the inverter with a padlock and screw M3x8 as Figure
●The location must be well ventilated and sheltered from direct sunlight.
3.3.2-7, 3.3.2-8.
●The inverter must be installed vertical or with a backward tilt less than 15°. No sideways tilt is allowed. The connection
area must point downwards. Refer to Figure 3.3.1-1.
