3.0 Tools and Materials Needed
• Flathead Screwdriver (for wire terminals)
• Phillips Screwdriver (for mounting screws)
• Wire Stripper/Cutter
If the GP-PWM-30-SB Controller was purchased with a
Go Power! Solar Power Kit, then UV resistant wire is
included. For instructions regarding the Go Power! Solar
Power Kit installation, please refer to the Installation
Guide provided with the Kit.
4.0 Choosing a Location
The GP-PWM-30-SB is designed to be mounted flush against a wall, out
of the way but easily visible.
The GP-PWM-30-SB should be:
• Mounted as close to the battery as possible
• Mounted on a vertical surface to optimize cooling of the unit
• Indoors, protected from the weather
In an RV, the most common controller location is above the refrigerator.
The wire from the solar array most commonly enters the RV through the
fridge vent on the roof or by using the Go Power! Cable Entry Plate (sold
separately) that allows installers to run wires through any part of the roof.
PV connections should connect directly to the controller. Positive and
negative battery connections must connect directly from the controller to
the batteries. Use of a positive or negative distribution bus is allowed
between the controller and battery as long as it is properly sized,
electrically safe and an adequate wire size is maintained.
5.0 Installation Instructions
1. Prepare for mounting. Use the template provided on page 27
to mark the four mounting holes and the cutting line for flush
mounting your controller.
