.
4. Wire the controller according to the terminal identification on the back of controller, starting with the
battery connections. Tighten the positive and negative battery connections and then set the battery
type (see controller manual for instruction). Then, connect and tighten the positive and negative solar
module connections.
5.1 Mounting The GP-PWM-10 Controller
The GP-PWM-10 should be mounted in a location as close to the battery as possible, but easily seen
for monitoring system operation. Wires must be run from the solar module to the controller and then to
the battery. The GP-PWM-10 is designed to be mounted vertically, on the side of a cabinet or wall.
The
controller should be mounted indoors, in a dry location.
1. Select a suitable location for the installation of the controller. Run the power cable from the solar
module to the location selected.
2. Wire the controller as shown in the
GP-PWM-10 Manual
. Use the leftover power cable to connect
the controller to the batteries.
3. Mount the controller to the wall using the two screws provided in the GP-PWM-10 box. Ensure the
back of the controller is protected from damage by any object.
6.0 Connecting to the Battery & Solar Array
It is recommended to connect directly to the battery wherever possible. You can also connect to the
converter/charger where the battery positive and negative wires connect to the converter.
1. Clean all corrosion from battery terminals before proceeding. Crimp ring terminals onto the negative
and positive wires of the power cable to be attached to the battery.
2. Attach the negative (black) wire’s 3/8” ring terminal to the RV battery. Check all electrical connections
and apply a protective coating to battery terminals.
