This manual contains important instructions for the GV-Boost GVB-8-Pb-**V-WP solar charge controllers that shall be followed
during installation and maintenance. Various models of the GVB-WP are available to charge dierent battery types as follows:
• GVB-8-Pb-36V-WP: 36V Lead-Acid/AGM/Gel/Sealed/Flooded
• GVB-8-Pb-48V-WP: 48V Lead-Acid/AGM/Gel/Sealed/Flooded
Consult your battery charging specifications to ensure that the GVB is compatible with your chosen batteries.
Carefully follow these instructions.
CAUTION for the GVB-8-Pb-**V-WP:
INTERNAL TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION. RISK OF FIRE, USE WITHIN 0.3 m (1 ft) 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.
DO NOT SHORT CIRCUIT the solar array when plugged into the controller. DO NOT MEASURE SHORT CIRCUIT CURRENT of the array
while connected to the controller. This will DESTROY the controller, and such damage will not be covered under warranty.
DO NOT USE WITH LITHIUM BATTERIES. See our GVB-Li series for lithium applications.
Grounding is not necessary for operation and is at the user's discretion. If the GVB-WP is to be used with a solar array electrically
connected to earth ground, please note the following: 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.
