2.1 WARNINGS
Disconnect all
power sources
Electricity can be very dangerous. Take appropriate caution when
making connections.
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. Ensure batteries
are in a well-ventilated space, away from sparks for open ames.
Wiring
connections
Ensure all connections are tight and secure. Loose connections
may generate sparks and heat. Be sure to check all connections
before using the portable solar kit.
Observe correct
polarity
Reverse polarity of the battery terminals and array will cause the
controller to give a warning tone. The controller will not function
unless battery terminals are connected to a battery with proper
polarity. Failure to correct this fault could damage the controller.
Do not exceed
the GP-PWM-10
amp 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 10A. The voltage
of the array is the rated open circuit voltage (Voc) of the PV array
and is not to exceed 28V. If your solar system exceeds these
ratings, contact your dealer for a suitable controller alternative.
