Genasun GV-5 Manual

This manual contains important instructions for the GV-5-Pb and GV-5-Li solar charge controllers that shall be followed during installation
and maintenance. Various models of the GV-5 are available to charge dierent battery types as follows:
• GV-5-Pb-12V: 12 V Lead-Acid/AGM/Gel/Sealed/Flooded
• GV-5-Pb-CV: 12 V Custom Multi-Stage Lead-Acid/AGM/Gel/Sealed/Flooded
• GV-5-Li-10.7V (-SP): 9 V (3S) Lithium Iron Phosphate
• GV-5-Li-12.5V: 11.1 V (3S) Lithium Cobalt/Manganese/Nickel
• GV-5-Li-14.2V: 12 V (4S) Lithium Iron Phosphate
• GV-5-Li-16.7V: 14.8 V (4S) Lithium Cobalt/Manganese/Nickel
• GV-5-Li-CV(**.*V): Custom CC/CV or Multi-Stage Lithium
• GV-5-Li-PCB CC/CV or Multi-Stage Lithium
• GV-5-Pb-PCB 12 V Multi-Stage Lead-Acid/AGM/Gel/Sealed/Flooded
Consult your battery charging specications to ensure that the GV-5 is compatible with your chosen batteries.
The GV-5 does not include a fuse. Overcurrent protection suitable for the application must be provided by the user.
UL SAFETY AND HAZLOC WARNING: EXPLOSION HAZARD. DO NOT CONNECT OR DISCONNECT WHEN ENERGIZED. DO NOT DISCONNECT WHILE THE CIRCUIT IS
LIVE OR UNLESS THE AREA IS FREE OF IGNITABLE CONCENTRATIONS.
ATTENTION: RISQUE D'EXPLOSION. NE PAS CONNECTER NI DÉCONNECTER PAS LORSQU'IL EST SOUS TENSION. NE PAS CONNECTER LE CIRCUIT ALORS QUE EST
VIVANT OU A MOINS QUE LA ZONE EST LIBRE DE CONCENTRATIONS IGNITAIRES.
CAUTION for the GV-5-Pb (Lead-Acid Versions Only): INTERNAL TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION. RISK OF FIRE, USE WITHIN 1 ft (0.3 m) of BATTERIES. Lead-acid
batteries can create explosive gases. Short circuits can draw thousands of amps from a battery. Carefully read and follow all instructions supplied with the battery.
Use only 12 V lead-acid batteries with the GV-5-Pb-12 V and GV-5-Pb-CV.
To avoid stress on the GV-5 and possible damage, DO NOT SHORT CIRCUIT the solar array when plugged into the controller, and DO NOT MEASURE SHORT
CIRCUIT CURRENT of the array while connected to the controller.
Grounding is not necessary for operation and is at the user's discretion. If the GV-5 is to be used with a solar array electrically connected to earth ground, please
note the following:
