© 2010 Magnum Energy, Inc.Do not install this inverter in any area that contains extremelyflammable liquids like gasoline or propane, or in locations that requireignition-protected devices.Close to the battery bank - As with any inverter, it should be locatedas close to the batteries as possible. Long DC wires tend to loseefficiency and reduce the overall performance of an inverter. However,the unit should not be installed in the same compartment as thebatteries or mounted where it will be exposed to gases produced bythe batteries. These gases are corrosive and will damage the inverter;also, if these gases are not ventilated and if allowed to collect, theycould ignite and cause an explosion.Accessible - Do not block access to the inverter’s remote controland accessory ports. Also allow enough room to access the AC andDC wiring connections, as they will need to be checked and tightenedperiodically. See Figure 8 for the MM Series’ inverter dimensions.Mounting Orientation - To meet regulatory requirements, the MMSeries inverter can only be mounted on a horizontal surface (shelf ortable) or a vertical surface (wall or bulkhead) either right-side up orupside-down, as shown in Figure 7. The inverter must be mounted on a“non-combustible” surface, and this surface and the mounting hardwaremust be capable of supporting at least twice the weight of the inverter.After determining your mounting position, use the base of the inverter’schassis as a template to mark your mounting screw locations. Removethe inverter and drill pilot holes into the mounting surface.If this unit is used in a mobile application, you may want to placeflexible washers or bushings between the mounting surface and theinverter’s mounting flanges to reduce vibration.After the inverter has been properly mounted, proceed to the DC Wir-ing section.Figure 7, Approved Mounting OrientationsWall Mounted (right-side up)Wall Mounted (up-side down)Shelf Mounted(right-side up)Shelf Mounted(up-side down)2.0 Installation9
