CURRENT of the array while connected to the controller. Grounding is not necessary for operation and is at the user's discretion. If the GVB-8 is to be used with a solar array electrically connected to earth ground, please note the following:... -

LITHIUM BMS WARNING: Genasun recommends using a lithium battery with a Battery Management System (BMS) capable of disconnecting the solar charge controller in the event that any cell in the pack is outside of its rated temperature, current, or voltage range. Failure to do so may result in property damage, injury or death. Genasun highly recommends the use of a BMS with cell balancing. - Page 4 Mount near the battery (for lead-acid versions only, use within 0.3 m (1 ft) of batteries. See Caution, p.2). • The GVB-8 can be mounted in any orientation on the floor or wall. We recommend a position in which all labels are clearly visible.
- Page 5 Connect the solar panel to the PANEL+ and PANEL- terminals. While connecting the battery first will not damage the GVB-8, we recommend connecting the panel first. This eliminates the risk of short- circuiting the panel while the GVB-8 is operating, which can cause damage.

Page 6: Status Indication
Status Indication: ERROR INDICATION Over-temperature: The controller’s internal temperature is too high. SETS OF 2 RED BLINKS. The GVB has a MULTICOLOR LED. Overload: The GVB has been overloaded. RUN/CHARGE INDICATION This could be caused by changing the solar panel connections while Standby: The battery is connected properly and ready to charge when the controller is operating. -
Page 7: Specifications
The GVB-8 will not operate without a battery. If the system appears to be overcharging or the GVB-8 will not begin charging, ensure that the solar panel is wired only to the GVB-8. If the GVB-8 does not appear to be charging, note that the GVB-8 waits up to one minute before trying to restart if is has shut down due to lack of power from the solar panel. If the LED indicator will not light with a battery connected, or blinks the over-battery-voltage error, check the fuse inside the GVB by removing the four screws on the bottom of the enclosure. - Page 8 Disabled (6) This specification does not apply to the GVB-8-PCB. The specifications for the GVB-8-PCB are as follows: Weight: 3.8oz., 108g; Dimensions: 4.75 x 2.2 x 1.06" (12 x 5.5 x 2.7 cm); Environmental Protection: IP00. Copyright © 2020 SunForge LLC.
