2.0 INSTALLATION
2.1 Selecting a Location for the StarInverter
In choosing a location for the StarInverter, consideration should be given to the following
criteria:
♦ The heat sink temperatures can exceed 158 degrees (70° C). The StarInverter
must be installed so that the top of the unit is not expected to be contacted by
persons.
♦ The StarInverter is suitable for installation both indoors and outdoors and the
enclosure has been given a NEMA 3R rating.
♦ When the StarInverter is installed outdoors, it should be shielded from rain and
direct sunlight, if possible.
♦ The StarInverter is designed to handle the temperature extremes of most
climates. The operating and non-operating ambient temperature range is from
-25° C to 40° C.
♦ The following clearances are recommended for proper placement of the
StarInverter:
• A minimum 36″ clearance between the bottom of the inverter box and
the ground.
• A minimum 12″ clearance above the inverter box for ventilation.
• A minimum 8” clearance around the side of the inverter box so that all
Warning and Caution labels are clearly visible and able to be easily
read.
• Visibility of the operating LED’s and display located at the top front of
the inverter box should also be considered.
♦ If the StarInverter is to be installed in an enclosed cabinet or closet, external
ventilation must be provided to allow for sufficient heat dissipation.
♦ At all times, air circulation around the inverter box must be sufficient.
