Installation & System Connections:
MOUNTING
Mount the controller near your battery securely using the holes provided on the enclosure’s flanges or with a
means appropriate to the application.
•
Mount near the battery (for lead-acid versions only, use within 0.3 m (1 ft) of batteries. See Caution, p.2).
•
The GV-10 can be mounted in any orientation on the floor or wall. We recommend a position in which all
labels are clearly visible.
•
Do not expose to water.
•
Do not mount in direct sunlight or near a source of heat.
•
Allow adequate airflow around the controller to achieve maximum output capability.
•
For outdoor use, the controller must be housed in an enclosure providing protection
at least equivalent to NEMA Type 3.
SELECTING THE BATTERY TYPE
(LEAD-ACID / PB MODEL ONLY)
Your GV-10-Pb-12V controller is supplied set to the “SEALED” charging profile, which is appropriate for most types
of sealed lead-acid and gel batteries, as well as some types of AGM batteries. A “FLOODED” setting is available for
flooded batteries and other types of AGM batteries. The “FLOODED” setting includes equalization charging. Please
consult the specification table at the end of this manual to determine the best setting for your battery type. To
change your GV-10 controller to the “FLOODED” setting, unscrew the four screws on the bottom of the controller,
remove the top, and install the supplied jumper on the 6-pin connector as shown in diagram 1. Use care when
installing the jumper, as incorrect installation can damage the controller. For sealed batteries, do not install the
jumper.
•
Connections should be made according to Article 690 of the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) or the
standards in force at the installation location.
•
Electrical connections may be made in any order; however the sequence below is recommended.
Note:
The positive or negative battery cable must be
protected by a fast-acting fuse or circuit breaker of 20A or
less, rated for the maximum battery voltage and connected
close to the battery terminal or power distribution block. This
fuse will protect the wiring in the event of a short circuit or
controller damage.
