2.0 Warnings
Disconnect all
power sources
Electricity can be very dangerous. Installation should be performed only
by a licensed electrician or qualified personnel.
Battery and wiring
safety
Observe all safety precautions of the battery manufacturer when
handling or working around batteries. When charging, batteries produce
hydrogen gas, which is highly explosive.
Wiring connections
Ensure all connections are tight and secure. Loose connections may
generate sparks and heat. Be sure to check connections one week after
installation to ensure they are still tight.
Work safely
Wear protective eyewear and appropriate clothing during installation.
Use extreme caution when working with electricity and when handling
and working around batteries.
Observe correct
polarity
Reverse polarity of the battery terminals will cause the controller to give
a warning tone. Reverse connection of the array will not cause an alarm
but the controller will not function. Failure to correct this fault could
Do not exceed the
GP-PWM-30-SQ
30Amp current and
max voltage
ratings
The current rating of the solar system is the sum of the Maximum Power
Current (Imp) of the solar PV strings in parallel. The resulting system
Imp current is not to exceed 30A. The voltage of the array is the rated
open circuit voltage (Voc) of the PV array and is not to exceed 25V. If
your solar system exceeds these ratings, contact your dealer for a
suitable controller alternative.
