SUNNY BOY 3.0-6.0 (AV-41) - Operating/installation manual, chapter 'Requirements for Mounting' (HTML) — Requirements for Mounting > Recommended clearances (Dimensions in mm) drawing
|
| cooling_airflow_requirements | maintain the recommended clearances to walls as well as to other inverters or objects so that adequate heat dissipation is ensured |
| direct_sunlight_restriction | The installation site must not be exposed to direct solar irradiation. If the product is exposed to direct solar irradiation, the exterior plastic parts might age prematurely and overheating might occur. When becoming too hot, the product reduces its power output to avoid overheating. |
| indoor_outdoor | indoor and outdoor (IP65) |
| installation_humidity_range | UNKNOWN |
| installation_temperature_range_c | to ensure optimum operation, the ambient temperature should be between -25 C and +40 C |
| max_installation_altitude_m | UNKNOWN |
| minimum_wall_thickness_mm | UNKNOWN |
| mounting_orientation | vertical wall (or post) mounting in a permitted position only, so that no moisture can penetrate the product; mount so that the LED signals can be read off without difficulty |
| orientation_allowed | ['vertical on a wall or post'] |
| orientation_forbidden | ['any position other than the single permitted vertical position shown in the manual (tilted, horizontal, connection area upwards, face up, face down)'] |
| special_restrictions | Do not mount the product in areas containing highly flammable materials or gases, or in potentially explosive atmospheres. The mounting location must be inaccessible to children. The installation site should be freely and safely accessible at all times without auxiliary equipment. The DC load-break switch must always be freely accessible. |
| surface_requirements | A solid support surface must be available (e.g., concrete or masonry). When mounted on drywall or similar materials, the product emits audible vibrations during operation which could be perceived as annoying. The installation site must be suitable for the weight and dimensions of the product. |
| two_person_lift_required | UNKNOWN |
| ventilation_requirements | If multiple products are mounted in areas with high ambient temperatures, increase the clearances between the products and ensure sufficient fresh-air supply. |
