WARNING:
| Disconnect all power sources| Electricity can be very dangerous.
Installation should be performed only by licensed electrician or qualified
personnel.
---|---|---
| Battery and wiring safety| Observe all safety precautions of the
battery manufacturer when handling or working around batteries. When charging,
batteries produce hydrogen gas, which is highly explosive.
| Wiring connections| Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
Loose connections may generate sparks and heat. Be sure to check connections
one week after installation to ensure they are still tight.
| Work safely|
Wear protective eyewear and appropriate clothing during installation. Use
extreme caution when working with electricity and when handling and working
around batteries.
| Observe correct polarity| Reverse polarity of the battery terminals
and array will cause the controller to show warning LEDs. The controller will
not function unless battery terminals are connected to a battery with proper
polarity. Failure to correct these faults could damage the controller.
| Do not exceed the GP-MPPT- PRO-40 / 60 max voltage
ratings| The voltage rating of the solar system is the sum of the Open
Circuit Voltage {Voe) of the solar PV panels in series. The resulting system
Voe voltage including temperature effects is not to exceed 150V. If your solar
system exceeds these ratings, contact your dealer for a suitable controller
alternative_ PV voltage increases in cold weather. Refer to section Error!

INSTALLATION
TOOLS
- Flathead Screwdriver (for wire terminals)
- Philips Screwdriver (for mounting screws)
INSTALLATION STEPS:
Install your solar array, and cover with opaque material until all wiring is complete. Wiring should not exceed 25ft from the solar panels to the battery.
Wire the GP-PWM-30-UL according to the wiring diagram below. Be sure to torque
all screws based on the wire gauge after installation, as well as after
30-days.
The GP-PWM-30-UL is designed to be mounted flush against a wall, out of the way but easily visible.
The GP-PWM-30-UL should be:
- Mounted as close to battery bank 1 as possible
- Mounted on a vertical surface to optimize cooling of the unit
- Indoors, protected from the weather
SETTING THE BATTERY CHEMISTRY
(Dual Banks Capable)
SETTING BATTERY 1
To set the battery type for battery bank 1, hold the B Button for 3 seconds. When the display shows a blinking number 1, release the B Button.
Next, select the charging profile of battery bank 1 by pressing the B Button to toggle through the profile options: Sealed/Gel, AGM, Flooded, or LFP.
To confirm the battery profile, press and hold the A Button for 3 seconds.
SETTING BATTERY 2
If you have a second, completely separate battery bank connected, the controller will immediately prompt you to set the battery type for Battery 2 with a blinking number 2.
To select the charging profile of battery bank 2, press the B Button to toggle through the profile options: Sealed/Gel, AGM, Flooded, or LFP.
To confirm the battery profile, press and hold the A Button for 3 seconds.
BLUETOOTH® WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY
The GP-PWM-30-UL comes with Bluetooth® Low Energy wireless technology for live status monitoring and settings configuration on mobile devices. It works together with the Go Power! Connect App, available for both Android and iOS devices.
Download and install the Go Power! Connect app, which is available on the Google Play store for Android devices and the App Store for iOS devices.
