Introduction

The MP-HOOD is designed to prevent objects from falling inside the top vents
of the inverter , which can cause damage inside the in verter . Normally , Magnum
inverters are mounted horizontally without any vents facing the top or bot­tom. However , in installations where these in verters are mounted on a vertical
surface (DC side down) - such as on a MMP or MP enclosure - the MP-HOOD
must be mounted above the inverter to meet UL regulatory requirements.

Installation

Info:

must be mounted against the wall.

MP-HOOD will accept up to a maximum 1/4 inch screw/bolt.

CAUTION:
prevent water drip from entering the inverter.

Refer to Figure 1 to install the MP-HOOD; ensure the following requirements:

1. The bottom edge of the MP-HOOD must be mounted fl ush against the top
of the Magnum inverter; this is the optimal position for minimizing the risk of
objects falling into the inverter, and at the same time providing the clearance
needed for air fl ow from the top vents of the inverter.

2. Do not place anything on top of the MP-HOOD that might cause it to bend down­ward; or place anything on the sides to restrict air fl ow through the in verter.
