4. INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
There are no components within the GPC that, in their normal operation, produce arcs or sparks. However, all electronic devices have
some potential for generating sparks in the event of failure. Therefore, never install this device in the same compartment with flam
-
mable items such as gasoline or batteries.
4.1 INSTALLATION
Disconnect the positive side of the battery before installation. Connect the positive (red) and negative (black) terminal lugs to battery
or load. Always use the proper size wire based on the amperage of the converter and the battery. When connecting to a battery, a
breaker should be installed within 18” of the battery, connecting the battery positive to the line side of the breaker, and the GPC to
the load side. Connect Chassis Bonding Lug on the GPC to vehicle chassis or other grounding source.
4.2 120 VOLT AC INPUT
Plug the GPC AC input cord into a 120 V 3 wire grounded source. See chart for maximum current draw and required input voltages.
4.3 ADJUST FIXED VOLTAGE
The boost mode output voltage can be adjusted to any value be
-
tween 13-16.5 VDC. This can be done by following the steps on the
following diagram.
Use the following steps to charge Lithium batteries.
Out of the box, the GPC charger is set to “3 Stage” charging mode.
In order to adjust the voltage used during the boost stage, the unit
needs to be put into “Fixed Output” mode. To do this, move switch A
to the “Fixed Output” position. This will cause the charger to output
a fixed voltage that represents the boost stage voltage.
Switch A
Switch B
