Ensure ALL sources of power are disconnected before performing any installation or maintenance on this equipment. Confirm that the terminals are de-energized using a validated voltmeter (rated for a minimum 1000 VAC and 1000 VDC) to verify the deenergized condition.
GENERAL INFORMATION Battery Safety Ensure the cables (conductors) are properly sized. Ensure clearance requirements are strictly enforced around the batteries. Ensure the area around the batteries is well ventilated and clean of debris. Never smoke, or allow a spark or flame near the batteries. WARNING! Explosion, Electrocution, or Fire Hazard Always use insulated tools. Avoid dropping tools onto batteries or other electrical parts. Never charge a frozen battery. Never use old or untested batteries.
GENERAL INFORMATION Use the battery types recommended by Go Power. Follow the battery manufacturer’s recommendations for installation and maintenance. Insulate batteries as appropriate against freezing temperatures. A discharged battery will freeze more easily than a charged one. i IMPORTANT If a remote or automatic generator control system is used, disable the starting circuit and/or disconnect the generator from its starting battery while performing maintenance to prevent accidental starting.
GENERAL INFORMATION 2.2 DISCLAIMERS IMPORTANT: Please follow installation and wiring instructions exactly as outlined to ensure safety. We recommend installation by an RV/marine technician or professional electrician to ensure adherence to relevant electrical codes.

LED Indicator Inverter status to display fault condition 3.1 TYPICAL SYSTEM OVERVIEW 3. INSTALLATION The following diagrams show how the GP-ISW-Inverter and GP-ISW-R are typically installed in a mobile RV application.
INSTALLATION 3.2 MOUNTING REQUIREMENTS 1. TEMPERATURE Make sure the GP-ISW is installed in a location where the normal air temperature is between -20°C and 40°C. The cooler the better within this range. 2. MOISTURE Do not allow water or other fluids to come into contact with the GP-ISW. Do not expose to rain, snow or water. 3. VENTILATION For optimum Inverter performance the GP-ISW must be installed so the front and rear air vents are not blocked or obstructed in any way.

el INSTALLATION 3.3 DC WIRING Solar Panel ISW Remote Control (Optional) Sub GP-ISW AC Loads DC Panel ON OFF ge r Battery Disconnect Switch (not required if circuit breaker is used) Earth Ground (RV Ground) Fuse or Circuit Breaker Fuse Battery Bank To Battery Bank To Battery Bank The following points must be observed for the DC Wiring. • The DC positive and negative cables connected to the GP-ISW from the battery bank should be linked together with zip ties or electrical tape every 6”.
INSTALLATION 3.3.1 DC WIRING SIZING The distance between the battery bank and the GP-ISW should be as short as possible to achieve maximum efficiency and to reduce fire hazards. The size of the cable should be thick enough to limit the voltage drop to less than 2% when carrying the maximum input current to prevent frequent low-input voltage warnings and shutdown. Only use high quality copper wire. For greater efficiency, the cables should be as short as possible.
INSTALLATION 3.3.2 DC OVERCURRENT PROTECTION AND DC DISCONNECT Batteries are capable of providing very large currents in case of a short circuit, if this occurs with no DC overcurrent protection, it will result in overheating and melting of the cables and possibly serious injury and/or fire. DC overcurrent protection is not included with the GP-ISW Inverters. It must be installed between the Inverter and battery bank for safety reasons and to comply with code regulations.
INSTALLATION To help prevent seizing and corrosion around the terminals the use of an anti-seize lubricant is highly recommended. Apply the antioxidant grease or spray after all the connections are made and tightened. 3.3.5 WIRING THE INVERTER TO THE BATTERIES WARNING: Lethal currents will be present if the positive and negative cables attached to the battery bank touch each other. During the installation and wiring process, ensure the cable ends are insulated or covered to prevent shorting the cables.
INSTALLATION 3.3.6 DC GROUNDING To protect against electrical shock hazards the GP-ISW metal chassis must be connected to the DC grounding system. The DC grounding system is sometimes referred to as the earth ground or another designated ground. For example on an RV, the metal frame of the RV is designated as the negative DC ground / RV ground. The DC ground wire connection on the GP-ISW is used to connect the exposed chassis of the Inverter to the DC grounding system.
INSTALLATION 3.4.1 AC OUTPUT INTERFACE Socket Type (F) Model GP-ISW200/400-12/24 North America (GFCI) 3.4.2 G FCI (GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTION) OUTLETS Compliance with UL standards requires that Go Power! test and recommend specific GFCIs for use on the AC output of the GP-ISW. GFCIs shall be installed in the AC output wiring system to protect all branch circuits.
