Wire Strip Gauge
You will find a strip gauge diagram
on the back of the GP-PWM-10,
which helps you to strip your wires
to the correct length. Insert wire
into the concave slot of the strip
gauge until it meets the back of the
Strip Gauge slot. Mark the length of
wire from the back of the Strip
Gauge slot to the edge of the
controller with a pen or your finger
and strip all wires to be connected
to the controller to this length.

IMPORTANT:
Identify the polarity (positive and negative) on the cable
used for the battery and solar module. Use colored wires or mark the
wire ends with tags. Although the GP-PWM-10 is protected, a reverse
polarity contact may damage the unit.
Wiring the GP-PWM-10.
Wire the GP-PWM-10 according to the wiring
schematic in
Section 6.
Run wires from the solar array and the batteries
to the location of the GP-PWM-10. Keep the solar array covered with an
opaque material until all wiring is completed.
3. Torque
all terminal screws to 16 inch pounds (1.8N.m).
Connect the battery wiring to the controller first and then connect
the battery wiring to the battery.
IMPORTANT:
Always use appropriate circuit protection on any
conductor attached to a battery.
