GEVC 12-36/48 6A
GEVC 12-36/48 6A can be connected with 6 GANZ GSP-55 (55W) solar panels or 8 GANZ
GSP-40 (40W) solar panels connected in parallel.
Installaon
1. GEVC controller should be mounted to a vercal surface and allow space for air ow, do not
recommend placed in direct sunshine
2. First connect ring terminal of GEVC controller blue wire (-) to baery (-)
3. Connect ring terminal of GEVC controller white wire (+) to baery (+)
4. Connect black wire (-) from GEVC controller to the black wire (-) of GANZ GSP solar panel
5. Connect red wire (+) from GEVC controller to the red wire (+) of GANZ GSP solar panel
6. GEVC 6A controller has 4 pairs of input wire, all red and black pairs end up in the same spot of
controller. Whichever wire can be connected solar panel as long as it's one red and one black
7. Unused black and red wires from GEVC controller are le disconnected, solar panel can be
added at later me to increase overall power
8. Do not connect exceed number of solar panels with GEVC controller in selecon guide as below
9. Do not connect exceed two solar panels per input wire
10. Orange signal wire not connected when unit is to charge a 36 Volt baery system, Orange
signal wires connected when unit is to charge 48 Volt baery system
