5.0 Installation Instructions

 

 

1.  Prepare for mounting. 

Use the template provided on 

page 27

 

to mark the four mounting holes and the cutting line for flush 
mounting your controller. 
 

2.  Complete the installation of the solar modules. 

 If this                 

GP-PWM-10-FM was purchased as part of a Go Power! Solar    
Power Kit, follow the Installation Guide provided. Otherwise, 
follow manufacturer’s instructions for solar module mounting and 
wiring. 
 

 

Do not exceed 
the GP-PWM-
10-FM Max 
current ratings 

The maximum current of the solar system is 
the sum of parallel-connected PV module–
rated short circuit Currents (Isc) multiplied by 
1.25. The resulting system current is not to 
exceed 37.5A. If your solar system exceeds 
this value, contact your dealer for a suitable 
controller alternative. 

 

Do not exceed 
the GP-PWM-
10-FM Max 
voltage ratings 

The maximum voltage of the array is the sum 
of the PV module–rated open-circuit voltage of 
the series connected modules multiplied by 
1.25 (or by a value from NEC 690.7 provided 
in Table 690.7 A). The resulting voltage is not 
to exceed 35V. If your solar system exceeds 
this value, contact your dealer for a suitable 
controller alternative. 

 
 

 

Ne dépassez 
pas le courant 
nominal 
maximum du 
GP-PWM-10-FM 

Le courant maximum du système solaire est la 
somme des courants de court-circuit (Isc) des 
modules PV connectés en parallèle, multipliée 
par 1,25. Le courant du système qui en résulte 
ne doit pas excéder 12,5 A. Si votre système 
solaire dépasse cette valeur, veuillez contacter 
votre revendeur pour obtenir un régulateur plus 
approprié.  

 

Ne dépassez 
pas la tension 
nominale 
maximum du 
GP-PWM-10-FM  

La tension maximum des panneaux est la 
somme de la tension à vide du module PV des 
modules connectés en série, multipliée par 
1,25 (ou par une valeur de l’article 690.7 du 
Code National Électrique fournie dans le 
tableau 690.7 A). La tension qui en résulte ne 
doit pas excéder 35 V. Si votre système solaire 
dépasse cette valeur, veuillez contacter votre 
revendeur pour obtenir un régulateur plus 
approprié.
