The heat sink temperatures can exceed 158 degrees (70° C). The StarInverter
must be installed so that the top of the unit will not come into contact with
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.
