5.2 Selecting the mounting location
Observe the following conditions during installation:
• The installation method and mounting location must be suitable for the weight and dimensions
of the Sunny Boy (see section 12 ”Technical data” (page 60)).
• Take the dimensions of the DC Disconnect into account (Page 25).
• Mount on a solid surface.
• The mounting location must be accessible at all times.
• Vertical installation or tilted backwards by max. 15°.
• The connection area must point downwards.
• Never install the device with a forward tilt.
• Do not install horizontally.
• Install at eye level to allow operating status to be read at all times.
• The ambient temperature must be below 113 °F (45 °C) to ensure optimal operation.
• Do not expose the Sunny Boy to direct sunlight, in order to avoid power reduction due to
excessive heating.
• In a living area, do not mount the unit on
plasterboard walls (or similar) in order to avoid
audible vibrations.
The Sunny Boy can emit noises when in use which
can be regarded as a nuisance.
