5. CHARGE STATES & FAULTS The main screen has a section at the bottom (indicated in the images below) to indicate either charge state if the controller is charging normally or fault information if the controller has entered a fault state. All of the possible charge states and fault states are listed in the table below.
6. COMMANDS Force Charge The force charge commands are used to force the solar controller into either bulk charging or float charging. This can be done on both the GP-RVC-MPPT-10 and the GP-RVC-MPPT-30. On the GP-RVC-MPPT-30 the force charge commands give the option to force charge either battery so, for example, if Bat1 is connected to the house battery and Bat2 is connected to the starter battery and both batteries are low the force charge command can be used to force the charger into charging Bat2 instead of it’s usual priority, Bat1.
7. INSTALLATION The GP-RVC-R is intended to be mounted to an interrior wall so the status of the solar controller can be viewed. Tools and Materials Needed Philips screw driver • Drill • 1” diameter drill bit or hole saw •...
