MOUNTING
Mount the controller near your battery securely using the holes provided on the enclosure’s flanges or
with a means appropriate to the application.
• 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-WP can be mounted in any orientation on the floor or wall. We recommend a position
in which all labels are clearly visible.
• Do not mount in direct sunlight or near a source of heat.
• Allow adequate airflow around the controller to achieve maximum output capability.
• Connections should be made according to Article 690 of the National Electrical Code
(NFPA 70) or the standards in force at the installation location.
• Electrical connections may be made in any order; however the sequence below is
recommended.
Note*: The positive or negative battery cable must be protected by a fast-acting fuse or circuit
breaker of 10A or less, rated for the maximum battery voltage and connected close to the battery
terminal or power distribution block. This fuse will protect the wiring in the event of a short circuit
or controller damage.
