8. WIRING DIAGRAM
4. Disconnect one or both array wires from the controller. Take a voltage reading between the positive and negative array wire. A
single 12 volt module should have an open circuit voltage between 17 and 22 volts. If you have more than one solar module, you
will need to conduct this test between the positive and negative terminals of each module junction box with either the positive
or the negative wires disconnected from the terminal.

2. Clean modules, clear obstruction or wait for conditions to clear.

8. WIRING DIAGRAM
The GP-PWM-10-SQ is based on a 10 amp max input from the solar modules. Use the wiring diagram to connect your battery to the
battery terminals on the solar controller. First, connect the battery to the controller and then connect the solar panel to the controller.
The controller will not work unless there is a battery connected to the battery terminals.
