ÉCLAIRÉES. CAUTION for the GV-10-Pb (Lead Acid Versions Only): INTERNAL TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION. RISK OF FIRE, USE WITHIN 0.3 m (1 ft) of BATTERIES. Lead-acid batteries can create explosive gases. Short circuits can draw thousands of amps from a battery. Carefully read and follow all instructions supplied with the battery.
Grounding is not necessary for operation and is at the user's discretion. If the GV-10 is to be used with a solar array electrically connected to earth ground, please note the following: WARNING: THIS UNIT IS NOT PROVIDED WITH A GFDI DEVICE. Consult Article 690 of the National Electrical Code (or the standards in force at the installation location) to determine whether a GFDI is necessary for your installation.
Please consult the specification table at the end of this manual to BATTERIES: determine the best setting for your battery type. To change your GV-10 controller to the “FLOODED” setting, unscrew the four screws on the bottom of the controller, remove the top, and install the supplied jumper on the 6-pin connector as shown in diagram 1.
PANEL first will not damage the GV-10, we recommend connecting the panel first. This eliminates the risk of short-circuiting the panel while the GV-10 is operating, which can cause damage. • In most applications, the panel should be connected only to the GV-10.
Status Indication: ERROR INDICATION Overheat: The controller’s internal temperature is too high. SETS OF 2 RED BLINKS. The GV-10 has a MULTICOLOR Overload: This could be caused by changing the solar RUN/CHARGE INDICATION panel connections while the controller is operating.
The GV-10 will not operate without a battery. If the system appears to be overcharging or the GV-10 will not begin charging, ensure that the solar panel is wired only to the GV-10. If the GV-10 does not appear to be charging, note that the GV-10 waits up to one minute before trying to restart if is has shut down due to lack of power from the solar panel.
