7. Ensure all penetrations into the RV roof are watertight.
Use an appropriate sealant as recommended by your RV
Dealer to seal holes wherever necessary.
8. Replace vent cover.
4.4 CABLE ENTRY PLATE
1. Remove the rubber sealing caps from the ends of the MC4
connectors in the GP-CEP.
2. Plug the Positive and Negative MC4 Connectors from the
solar panels directly into the GP-CEP
3. Locate the positive and negative cables exiting the GP-CEP
and route these to the solar charge controller
4.5 INSTALLING THE SOLAR CHARGE CONTROLLER
Ensure the Solar Panels are covered. Cover the nel faces completely with an opaque material to stop the
production of electricity when working with panels or wiring – the cardboard shipping boxes are the perfect
option to cover glass surface of the panels.
1. Use the template included in the solar charge controller Manual to mark the four mounting holes. For the GP-PWM-30 also
mark the “cutting line for flush mounting”.
2. Drill the mounting holes.
3. For the GP-PWM-30 use a keyhole or jig saw to cut along the rectangular outline previously marked.
4.
Cut the MC4 extension cables to length, allow some excess for strain relief/flexibility.
5. Use the leftover cable to connect the controller to the batteries ensuring the Fuse holder is installed as per 4.7 & 4.8. If extra
battery cable is required to connect to the battery bank, Go Power! recommends using an equivalent cable to that supplied
with the kits: 10 Gauge Wire rated to – UL/cUL/USE2.
6. Mount the controller to the wall using the four wood screws provided.
7. Ensure the back of the controller is protected from damage by any object
4.6 INSTALLING THE FUSE AND FUSE
HOLDER
1. Locate the positive battery cable from the solar charge con-
troller
2. Plan where you can safely and easily access the fuse holder
& fuse
3. Cut the battery positive cable from the solar charge controller
to the planned lengths
4. Strip the fuse holder cable and positive cable from solar
charge controller as shown in Fig 4-F
5. Thread the red heat-shrink onto the fuse holder cable
