PWM-30-UL Installation: Choosing a Location
# **Choosing a Location to Install GP-PWM-30-UL** 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, protecte…
PWM-30-UL Installation: Low Voltage Disconnect Function
**This article relates to the USB Port, and Inverter Remote Signal** To prevent the battery against over-discharge this function automatically switches off the USB output port when Battery 1 voltage is lower than 11.0 VDC. If a compatible inverter is connected and set to remote mode, the controller will also switch o…
PWM-30-UL Installation: System Voltage and Current
# System Voltage and Current Specifications The GP-PWM-30-UL is intended for use at 12 VDC system voltage and is rated for a maximum continuous DC input current of 37.5A and input voltage of 35VDC.
