Installation

altitude_derating_note UNKNOWN
clearance_bottom_mm 300 to an object; 536 between two products mounted above one another
clearance_front_mm 100
SUNNY TRIPOWER 5.0/6.0/8.0/10.0 SMART ENERGY - Operating manual (HTML) — Mounting > Requirements for Mounting > Recommended clearances for mounting, drawing at https://manuals.sma.de/STPxx3SE40/en-US/14409843339.html
clearance_left_mm 300 to a wall or object; 473 between two products mounted side by side
clearance_right_mm 300 to a wall or object; 473 between two products mounted side by side
clearance_top_mm 350 to an object; 505 between two products mounted above one another
cooling_airflow_requirements convection cooling - maintain the recommended clearances so that adequate heat dissipation is ensured and power reduction due to excessive temperature is prevented
direct_sunlight_restriction The mounting location 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.
indoor_outdoor indoor and outdoor (IP65 / 4K26)
installation_humidity_range UNKNOWN
installation_temperature_range_c the ambient temperature should be 0 C to +45 C to ensure optimal operation (operating range is -25 C to +60 C)
max_installation_altitude_m UNKNOWN
minimum_wall_thickness_mm UNKNOWN
mounting_orientation vertical wall mounting with the connection area downwards (only one position is shown as permitted)
SUNNY TRIPOWER 5.0/6.0/8.0/10.0 SMART ENERGY - Operating manual (HTML) — Mounting > Requirements for Mounting > Permitted and prohibited mounting positions, https://manuals.sma.de/STPxx3SE40/en-US/14409842187.html
orientation_allowed ['vertical on a wall, connection area facing downwards']
orientation_forbidden ['tilted forward', 'tilted backward', 'horizontal / lying flat (face up)', 'vertical with the connection area upwards', 'lying on its back (face up)', 'lying face down']
special_restrictions 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. Do not mount in areas containing highly flammable materials or gases, or in potentially explosive atmospheres. Mount such that the LED signals can be read off without difficulty.
surface_requirements A solid support surface must be available. When mounted on drywall or similar materials, the product emits audible vibrations during operation which could be perceived as annoying. The support surface for installation must be made of a non-flammable material.
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. A sufficient supply of fresh air can be ensured, for example, by an external room fan controlled via the multifunction relay.
