AA Portable Power Corp GVB-8-Pb-12V Quick Start Manual
     |
Safety Instructions:This manual contains important instructions for the GV-Boost GVB-8-Pb-**V and GVB-8-Li-**.*Vsolar charge controllers that shall be followed during installation and maintenance. Various modelsof the GVB are available to charge different battery types as follows:• GVB‐8‐Pb‐12V: 12V Lead-Acid/AGM/Gel/Sealed/Flooded• GVB‐8‐Pb‐24V: 24V Lead-Acid/AGM/Gel/Sealed/Flooded• GVB‐8‐Pb‐36V: 36V Lead-Acid/AGM/Gel/Sealed/Flooded• GVB‐8‐Pb‐48V: 48V Lead-Acid/AGM/Gel/Sealed/Flooded• GVB‐8‐Li‐**.*V: Custom Lithium VariationConsult your battery charging specifications to ensure that the GVB is compatible with your chosenbatteries.Carefully follow these instructions.CAUTION for the GVB-8-Pb-**V(lead-acid Versions only):Internal temperature Compensation. Risk of Fire, use Within 0.3 m (1 ft) of Batteries. lead-acid batteries can create explosive gases. short circuits can draw thousands of amps from abattery. Carefully read and follow all instructionssupplied with the battery.DO NOT SHORT CIRCUIT the solar array when plugged into the controller. do not measure shortCircuit Current of the array while connected to the controller. this will destroy the controller, andsuch damage will not be covered under warranty.LITHIUM WARNING: take caution when working with lithium systems. The controllers use theCC/CV charging profile indicated on the controller. Check the specifications of the battery pack toensure that the CV voltage is correct. Further check that the power supplied by the solar arrayand controller is within the battery specified design limits.LITHIUM BMS WARNING: recommend using a lithium battery with a Battery management systemcapable of disconnecting the solar charge controller in the event that any cell in the pack isoutside of its rated temperature, current, or voltage range. Failure to do so may result in propertydamage, injury or death. Highly recommends the use of a Bms with cell balancing. Cellbalancing is mandatory for lithium-iron phosphate systems.Use only 10-30 AWG copper conductors suitable for a minimum of 60 degrees C. If operation athigh power or at high ambient temperatures is expected, wire with a higher temperature ratingmay be necessary.Inspection & MaintenanceInspect the controller at least once per year to ensure proper performance.• Check for animal or insect damage.• Inspect for corrosion / water damage.• Inspect the security of all connections. |
