Hello –
I’ve reviews the posted installation tips for the model A and distilled the physical installation requirements to:
• mount outside
• 1 meter above ground level
• avoid direct sunlight
• mount considering rain
I’ve noticed a number of other users have mounted their model A units in electrical and other enclosures. As I expect that my model A will be mounted for in its initial position for some time, I’m looking to mount mine for optimal performance and longevity. To be prepared for its arrival, I have a number of questions.
• What operating temperatures can the unit operate in?
• Does mounting the unit in an enclosure have a significant impact on its performance?
• If mounted in an enclosure, should it be aspirated for free air and temperature control?
• How important is free air?
• Are snow drifts that change the overall height to ground cover a concern?
Thanks for your time!
