Requirements for Mounting
Fire hazard due to wrong choice of mounting location
Fires can start in electrical devices mounted in unsuitable areas.
• Do not install the product on flammable construction materials.
• Do not mount the product in areas containing highly flammable materials.
• Do not mount the product in potentially explosive atmospheres.
Requirements for the mounting location
☐ The device must be mounted on a stable supporting surface, e.g. concrete or masonry.
☐ The mounting location must be suitable for the weight and dimensions of the Fuel Save Controller (see Section 11,
page 51).
☐ The mounting location must be freely and safely accessible at all times without the need for any auxiliary
equipment (such as scaffolding or lifting platforms). Non-fulfillment of these criteria may restrict servicing.
☐ The mounting location must not hinder access to disconnection devices.
☐ The mounting location must not be exposed to direct solar irradiation. Direct solar irradiation can cause the Fuel
Save Controller to overheat.
☐ Climatic conditions must be met (see Section 11, page 51).
☐ The Fuel Save Controller may only be mounted in a permitted mounting position.
