Cerbo gx mounting upside down

For a new installation, it would be handy if the cerbo gx could be placed upside down. As i know from mij electronics education, during design its only tested flat on the workbench and in it's normal position to the wall. Mounting it different could lead to heat problems of electronics, and as result this may trigger strange behavior.

The manual is very vague about the mounting instructions.

Therefore i would like to know if Victron allows upside down mounting of the device against a wall.

Yes thats fine , however be aware - the reason for a vertical mount is so the cooling air flow moves over the fins ie hot air rises.

so at peak output it may not coll properly,

It's a cerbo not a multiplus. So that's fine.
