    CIRCUIT CURRENT of the array while connected to the controller. Grounding is not necessary for operation and is at the user's discretion. If the GV-5 is to be used with a solar array electrically connected to earth ground, please note the following:...

    LITHIUM WARNING: Use caution when working with lithium systems. Genasun Li controllers use the CC/CV charging profile indicated on the controller. Check the specifications of the battery pack to ensure that the CV voltage is correct. Further check that the power supplied by the solar array and Genasun controller is within the battery specified design limits.
  • Page 4 Caution, p.2). GV-5 • The GV-5 can be mounted in any orientation on the floor or wall. We recommend a position in which all labels are clearly visible. Although the GV can be used in any orientation, for marine or other applications where liquid water may be nearby, the GV should be mounted with the terminal block down (or where not possible, to the side).

  • Page 5: Connecting The Battery

    85 °C ambient. If the GV-5 will be used with a solar panel or array with a short circuit current (Isc) of more than 8 A, the GV-5 input should be protected with a fast-acting fuse or circuit breaker of 10 A and rated for the maximum solar panel voltage.

  • Page 6: Status Indication

    Battery voltage too low: The controller cannot begin charging normally due 8-10 SEC. BETWEEN GREEN BLINKS to low battery voltage. Check the battery connections, wait for the GV-5's trickle function to charge the battery, or charge the battery by another means.

  • Page 7: Specifications

    0.125 mA (125 uA) (2) Panel Isc. Inputs exceeding this rating may cause damage to the GV-5 if the input or battery voltage changes abruptly. (3) Maximum steady-state current that the controller could draw from an unlimited source. This specification is intended for sizing input circuit protection.
  • Page 8 (5) Max ambient temperature for full operating power. Test conditions: 16 V input, 13 V output, GV-5 vertically (wall) mounted. (6) This specification does not apply to GV-5-PCB. Specifications for the GV-5-PCB are as follows: Weight: 0.8 oz (23 g); Dimensions: 3.3" x 1.9" x 0.9" (8.3 cm x 4.8 cm x 2.3 cm); Environmental Protection: IP00.
