Genasun GV-5 Manual

WARNING: THIS UNIT IS NOT PROVIDED WITH A GFDI DEVICE. Consult Article 690 of the National Electrical Code (or the standards in force at the installation
location) to determine whether a GFDI is necessary for your installation.
WARNING: THIS UNIT IS NOT PROVIDED WITH DISCONNECT DEVICES. Consult Article 690 of the National Electrical Code (or the standards in force at the
installation location) to determine whether disconnect devices are necessary for your installation.
Use only 12 – 30 AWG (3.0 mm
2
max) copper conductors suitable for a minimum of 60
o
C. If operation at high power or at high ambient temperatures is expected,
wire with a higher temperature rating may be necessary. Recommended terminal block tightening torque: 3 – 5 in-lbs, 0.35 – 0.55 Nm.
LITHIUM WARNING: Use caution when working with lithium systems. Genasun Li controllers use the CC/CV charging prole indicated on the controller. Check the
specications of the battery pack to ensure that the CV voltage is correct. Further check that the power supplied by the solar array and Genasun controller is within
the battery specied design limits.
LITHIUM BMS WARNING: Genasun recommends using a lithium battery with a Battery Management System (BMS) capable of disconnecting the solar charge
controller in the event that any cell in the pack is outside of its rated temperature, current, or voltage range. Failure to do so may result in property damage, injury
or death. Genasun highly recommends the use of a BMS with cell balancing. Cell balancing is mandatory for lithium iron phosphate.
