2.0 Warnings
Disconnect all
power sources
Electricity can be very dangerous. Installation
should be performed only by a licensed
electrician or qualified personnel.
`
Battery and
wiring safety
Observe all safety precautions of the battery
manufacturer when handling or working
around batteries. When charging, batteries
produce hydrogen gas, which is highly
explosive.
Wiring
connections
Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
Loose connections may generate sparks and
heat. Be sure to check connections one week
after installation to ensure they are still tight.
Work safely
Wear protective eyewear and appropriate
clothing during installation. Use extreme
caution when working with electricity and
when handling and working around batteries.
Observe
correct polarity
Reverse polarity of the battery terminals and
array will cause the controller to give a
warning tone. The controller will not function
unless battery terminals are connected to a
battery with proper polarity. Failure to correct
this fault could damage the controller.
Do not exceed
the GP-PWM-10
Amp current
and max
voltage ratings
The current rating of the solar system is the
sum of the Maximum Power Current (Imp) of
the solar PV strings in parallel. The resulting
system Imp current is not to exceed 10A. The
voltage of the array is the rated open circuit
voltage (Voc) of the PV array and is not to
exceed 28V. If your solar system exceeds
these ratings, contact your dealer for a
suitable controller alternative.
3.0 Tools and Materials Needed

Flathead Screwdriver (for wire terminals)
•
Philips Screwdriver (for mounting screws)
If the GP-PWM-10 Controller was purchased with a Go
