Mounting location and mounting distances

This page is used to plan the location for the battery and inverter. In addition to the requirements for the installation location, it provides information on the maximum and minimum distances between the devices.

Requirements for the installation location Battery and inverter

Requirements for the Inverter vision installation location

Do not expose the product to direct sunlight.
Do not store any flammable or explosive materials in the installation room.
Do not use the device in areas prone to explosion (flour dust, sawdust, etc.).
Do not install the appliance near the TV aerial or aerial cable.
Do not install the device in locations that are more than 2000 m above sea level.
Do not install the device in an environment with precipitation or high humidity (> 95%).
To ensure that the cooling air can escape from the device unhindered, the distance to neighboring devices must not be less than 30 cm. There must also be a free space of at least 30 cm (Inverter vision one) or 50 cm (Inverter vision three) above the housing.
The ambient temperature must be within the range of -25°C to +60°C.
The inclination of the wall should be within +/-5°.

Requirements for the installation location Battery vision

Installation in temperature-controlled indoor areas and protected outdoor areas
Operating temperature -10 °C to 55 °C
Ambient temperature for optimum operation 10 °C to 30 °C (minimum 0 °C)
Do not expose the product to direct sunlight.
Do not install the product in escape routes or bedrooms
Do not expose the product to naked flames
Do not store any flammable or explosive materials in the installation room
When installing the product, ensure that the surface is sufficiently firm and level to support the weight of the battery
The battery must be firmly connected to a wall so that it cannot tip over
The battery must not obstruct access to shut-off devices at the installation site
The installation location must be selected so that the product is not flooded
The product must not be installed in boiler rooms (defined as solid fuel heaters with a total rated output of more than 50 kW that may not be used for other purposes), oil or wood storage facilities, wood barns and sheds, etc.
Do not use Battery vision in vehicles (motor vehicles, airplanes or watercraft)
Do not use Battery vision in areas prone to explosion (flour dust, sawdust, etc.)
Do not install Battery vision in locations that are more than 2000 m above sea level
Do not install Battery vision in corrosive or ammoniacal atmospheres and do not store corrosive or flammable materials in the vicinity
Do not install Battery vision near heat sources, in areas with a risk of fire or in environments with moisture/atmospheres with a high salt content
To ensure that the cooling air can escape from the device unhindered, the distance to neighboring devices must not be less than 30 cm. There must also be a clearance of at least 30 cm above the housing
A free space of approx. 120 cm deep is required in front of the appliance so that installation and maintenance work can be carried out on the front panel
Avoid direct exposure to heat from other devices and maintain the minimum gap to neighboring devices prescribed by the respective manufacturer

Notes on the arrangement of the devices in relation to each other

Note

The maximum length for the communication connector between the inverter and meter is 100 m. Use a cable (at least Cat 5e) with twisted-pair wires to achieve better shielding.

Note

The Battery vision top pack comes with a 1.5 m long battery cable for connection to an Inverter vision inverter. If the cabling is correct, there will be about 75 cm between the battery and the inverter. Take this into account when installing the battery. Independent crimping of battery cables is not permitted, as the battery cable affects the safety regulations of the system.

Battery cables in lengths of 3 m, 5 m and ordered 10 m are optionally available from Solarwatt.

A combination of several original cables for extension is NOT permitted!
