PERSONAL SAFETY

WARNING!

Personal Injury

Use safe lifting techniques when lifting this equipment as recommended by

the Occupational Safety and Health Association (OSHA) or other local codes.

Use standard safety equipment when working on this equipment, such as

safety glasses, ear protection, steel-toed safety boots, safety hard hats, etc.

Use standard safety practices when working with electrical equipment.

(Remove all jewelry, use insulated tools, wear cotton clothing, etc.)

Never work alone when installing or servicing this equipment. Have someone

nearby that can assist if necessary.

Do not touch the Inverter / Charger during operation. The temperature of

some parts of the inverter may exceed 60° during operation. Let it cool for at

least 5 minutes after shutdown before touching it.

Ensure that children, pets, and other animals are kept away from the inverter,

solar arrays, battery bank, and utility grid components.

If the equipment is used in a manner not specied by the manufacturer, the

protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.

EQUIPMENT SAFETY

WARNING!

Lethal Voltage

Review the system conguration to identify all possible sources of energy.

Ensure ALL sources of power are disconnected before performing any

installation or maintenance on this equipment. Conrm that the terminals are

de-energized using a validated voltmeter (rated for a minimum 1000 VAC and

1000 VDC) to verify the de energized condition.

Do not perform any servicing other than that specied in the installation

instructions unless qualied to do so, or have been instructed to do so by Go

Power! Technical Support personnel.

To avoid electric shock, disconnect the DC input and AC input of the inverter at

least 5 minutes before performing any installation or maintenance.

Do not tighten the AC and DC terminals or pull on the AC and DC wiring when

the inverter is running.

WARNING!

Fire Hazard

Do not keep combustible or ammable materials in the same room with the

equipment. Some products contain relays with moving parts and are not

ignition-protected.

Ensure AC, DC, and ground cable sizes conform to local codes. See product

manuals for minimum size requirements.

Ensure all conductors are in good condition.

Do not operate the unit with damaged or substandard cabling.

GENERAL INFORMATION

[page 6] | gpelectric.com

CAUTION!

Equipment Damage

When connecting cables from the inverter to the battery terminals, ensure the

proper polarity is observed. Connecting the cables incorrectly can damage or

destroy the equipment and void the product warranty.

Thoroughly inspect the equipment prior to energizing. Verify that no tools or

equipment have been inadvertently left behind.

Ensure clearance requirements are strictly enforced.

Keep all vents clear of obstructions that can prevent proper air ow around, or

through, the unit.

CAUTION!

Equipment Damage

Static electricity may damage electronic components. Take appropriate steps to

prevent such damage to the inverter; otherwise the warranty may be annulled.

BATTERY SAFETY

WARNING!

Explosion, Electrocution, or Fire

Hazard

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 ame near, the batteries.

Always use insulated tools. Avoid dropping tools onto batteries or other

electrical parts.

Never charge a frozen battery.

Never use old or untested batteries. Check each battery’s label for age, type,

and date code to ensure all batteries are identical.

If a battery must be removed, always remove the grounded terminal from the

battery rst. Make sure all devices are de-energized or disconnected to avoid

causing a spark.

IMPORTANT

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.

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.

Wear complete eye and clothing protection when working with batteries.

Avoid touching bare skin or eyes while working near batteries.

Keep plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin,

clothing, or eyes.

If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and

water. If acid enters the eye, immediately ood it with running cold water for

at least 20 minutes and get medical attention as soon as possible.

3.5 MOUNTING PROCEDURE

To mount the GP-ICR-50 in a wall, the opening behind the wall must be at least 2” (5cm) of depth to allow room for the remote and cable.

1. Cut a 3” x 5” rectangular opening in the wall, ensure there is enough material for the screws to securely mount the remote.

2. Use the GP-ICR-50 as a template for the 4 holes, mark the positions of the 4 holes with a pencil/pen.

3. Drill the 4 pilot holes for the #8 x 3/4” screws.

4. Route one end of the remote control cable through the wall opening to the Inverter / Charger, plug this end into the REMOTE port.

5. Take the other end of the remote cable and plug it into the rear of the GP-ICR-50. The remote should power up if the Inverter/Charger

is connected to the battery bank. All power to operate the GP-ICR-50 is provided by the Inverter/Charger through the remote cable.

6. When the remote powers up, secure the remote control unit to the wall using the four Phillips screws supplied.
