5. Choice of installation location
5.1 General recommendation on installation position
• See characteristics and technical data paragraph to check the required environmental conditions (protection rating, temperature,
humidity, altitude, etc.)
• The installation location shall be easily accessible
• The inverter operates normally up to 2000 meters; Above 2000 meters the inverter works in derating.
• Never open the REACT2-UNO in the case of rain, snow or a level of humidity >95%.
• Prevent access to the installation location by children
• Installation of the unit in a location exposed to solar rays makes the warranty void as it may cause:
-power limitation phenomena in the inverter and in the battery unit
-premature wear of the electrical/electromechanical components
-premature wear of the mechanical components (gaskets) and of the user interface (synoptic)
-reduction in performance, lifetime and possible damage of the battery unit
• Do not install in small closed rooms where air cannot circulate freely
• Always ensure that the flow of air around the inverter is not blocked so as to prevent overheating.
• Do not install in locations where flammable substances or gases may be present
• Do not install on wooden walls or near flammable substances.
• Do not install in locations with a constant presence of water and/or high humidity level.
• Respect the minimum distances from objects around the REACT2-UNO and REACT2-BATT that could prevent the inverter installation
and restrict or block the air flow.
• The installation must take account of any electrical devices (e.g. lamps, switches, etc.) which must be at least 20cm from the equipment.
These distances must be maintained also to facilitate the circulation of the air needed to cool the unit and to facilitate the operations to
install/maintain hardware and software which is done by dismantling the covers placed on the front.
• Install vertically with a maximum inclination of 5° (forward or backward).
• For a multiple installation, position the inverters side by side. If the space available does not allow this arrangement, position the
inverters in a staggered arrangement (as shown in the figure) so that heat dissipation is not affected by other inverters:
- Two or more REACT2-BATT can be installed one above the other.
- Do not install the REACT2-BATT above the REACT2-UNO.
• The REACT2-UNO and REACT2-BATT can be installed separately and at greater distances
• using the “REACT2-XL-CABLE-KIT” cable kit (2 meter cables length).

• Do not install in rooms where people live or where the prolonged presence of people or animals is expected, because of the noise that the
system produces during operation The level of the sound emission is heavily influenced by where the appliance is installed (for example:
the type of surface around the inverter, the general properties of the room, etc.) and the quality of the electricity supply
• Avoid electromagnetic interference that can compromise the correct operation of electronic equipment, with the consequent hazards
• The ambient temperature of the installation location should be between 5°C and 30°C to guarantee the optimal operation of the
battery unit (REACT2-BATT). Here below are the functions available from the system on the basis of the ambient temperature:
T1 - Optimal operation of the REACT2 system
T2 - Correct operation of the REACT2 system with possible reduction of power
T3 - Operation limited to the inverter part only. Management of the battery is disabled.

• Hardware and software maintenance on REACT2-UNO entails opening the front cover. Check that the correct installation safety
distances are observed in order to allow routine check and maintenance operations.
• Install on a wall or strong structure suitable to bear the weight.
• Install at a height which takes into consideration the weight of the appliance and in a position which is suitable for servicing, unless
suitable means are provided to carry out the operation.
