Installation & System Connections:
MOUNTING
Mount the controller near your battery securely using the holes provided on the enclosure’s
anges or with a means appropriate to the application.
• Mount near the battery (for lead-acid versions only, use within 1 ft (0.3 m) of batteries. See
Caution, p.2).
• The GV-5 can be mounted in any orientation on the oor or wall. We recommend a position in
which all labels are clearly visible. Although the GV can be used in any orientation, for marine
or other applications where liquid water may be nearby, the GV should be mounted with the
terminal block down (or where not possible, to the side). This orientation facilitates the use of
drip loops to prevent liquid water from running along the wiring into the controller.
• Do not expose to water.
• Do not mount in direct sunlight or near a source of heat.
• Allow adequate airow 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.
• 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 10 A 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.
The GV-5 has a MULTICOLOR LED. Learn
