Genasun GVB-8 User Manual

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 0.3 m (1 ft) of batteries. See Caution, p.2).
• The GVB-8 can be mounted in any orientation on the oor or wall. We recommend a position in which all labels are clearly
visible.
• Do not expose to water (PLEASE SEE MODEL GVB-WP FOR WATERPROOF VERSION).
• 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 versions above 42.4V, apply the sticker provided in the box on or adjacent to the battery.
• 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: Do not install this controller in a Golf Cart. Genasun oers the GVB-WP for Golf Carts and other applications where water
resistance is needed.
Note: The positive or negative battery cable must be protected by a fast-acting fuse or circuit breaker of 10A 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.
