1. SAFETY
Important safety information is contained throughout this manual that should be carefully observed and followed. This
information is presented using the following format:
The information is categorized in two ways:
Warning: Bodily harm could occur if instructions are not explicitly followed. If there are any doubts about the procedure or
conditions, please call GoPower! technical support before doing anything.
Caution: Damage to property could occur if instructions are not followed properly.
The following symbols are used to indicate the type of hazard.
DISCONNECT ALL POWER SOURCES
Electricity can be very dangerous. Installation should be performed only by a licensed electrician or qualied
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 PLACE SAFETY
Wear protective eyewear and appropriate clothing during installation. Use extreme caution when working with
electricity and when handling and working around batteries.

[MENU 2]: RVC-DISPLAY startup, displays Go Power!
1. Main Screen
Displays PV Voltage, Current, BAT1 and BAT2’s Voltage and Current, Solar Controller Internal Temperature,
Solar Controller Charge State / Fault, and Bluetooth Connection Status. Section 5 provides additional detail of
the Solar Controller Charge State / Fault display.
2. Status Screens
The status screens show detailed status information that is not on the main screen. The following steps can be used
to get to the status screens shown as [MENU4] to [MENU8] and navigate through them. A detailed explanation of
each status parameter is included in a table in section 4 below.
Short press [ENTER] button go to status interface
Short press [BACK] button to quit status interface and go to main interface
Short press [DOWN] button: the menu’s sequence is [MENU4]->[MENU5]->...->[MENU8]->[MENU4]
Short press [UP] button: the menu’s sequence is [MENU8]->[MENU7]->...->[MENU4]->[MENU8]

3. Setting Screens
The settings screens are used to view and edit settings and also to issue commands to the controller. The following
steps can be used to get to the settings screens shown as [MENU9] to [MENU16] and navigate through them. A
detailed explanation of each setting parameter is included in a table in section 4 below.
Long press [ENTER] button go to system setting interface
Short press [BACK] button quit setting interface and go to main interface
Short Press [DOWN] button to move down by one setting (the curser wraps back to top when you reach the bottom)
Short press [UP] button to move up by one setting (the curser wraps back to bottom when you reach the top)
Press [ENTER] on a setting to edit and use [DOWN] and [UP] to change value. [ENTER] locks setting in and
[BACK] cancels setting.
10A controllers do not have BAT2 parameters
Each time the [DOWN] [UP] buttons are pressed, it will enter next interface
The small black triangle before the parameter item indicates the currently selected item
When the user sets the parameter, the value of the parameter item will ash, and the user can change the
setting.

The following table lists all of the status parameters, settings and commands that are available on the controller via the
remote display and the Go Power! Connect mobile application. The actual value displayed may be prefaced with “Batt1” or
“Batt2” if the remote display is connected to a GP-RVC-MPPT-30 controller since these are dual bank controllers.

4. STATUS, SETTINGS AND COMMANDS
[page 10] | gpelectric.com
STATUS, SETTINGS AND COMMANDS
Type Battery Type GEL
Flooded, GEL,
AGM, Li, USER
(Custom)
Since each type of battery is charged and
maintained dierently, the battery type
must be set to match the battery connect-
ed to the controller.
When the battery type is changed the fol-
lowing characteristics will change accord-
ing to the battery type.
Nom V System Voltage AUTO AUTO, 12V, 24V
The nominal voltage of the battery bank.
This is only congurable for lithium bat-
teries. For all other battery types it is auto
deteced.
AH Capacity 200Ah 1 - 9999Ah
The nominal battery capacity is used to
adjust the capacity to match the batteries
being used in the application
Advanced Settings
OVP High Voltage
Disconnect 16V 0 - 17V
The voltage when the solar controller will
disconnect the charger from the battery
and indicate a high voltage fault
Eq V Equalization
Voltage 14.1V 0 - 17V
The equalize voltage is the voltage setpoint
used during an equalize maintenance
cycle.
Bulk V Bulk-Absorption
Voltage 14.1V 0 - 17V
When the battery reaches the bulk-
absorption set point, the controller will start
to operate in the absorption stage.
Float V Float Voltage 13.7V 0 - 17V
After the absorption stage, the controller
will reduce the battery voltage to the oat
voltage set point.
Chg Rtn Recharge Voltage 13.2V 0 - 17V This is the voltage setpoint that triggers a
new charge cycle.
LRV Over-discharge
return 12.8V 0 - 17V
The over-discharge return voltage is
the voltage at which the battery over
discharge fault is cleared when the battery
is charging back up again from and over-
discharged state.
Warn V Under Voltage
Warning 12.0V 0 - 17V
The under-voltage warning level is the
voltage at which the under-voltage warning
fault state is entered to indicate that an
under-voltage condition has be reached.
ODV Discharge Limit
Voltage 11.0V 0 - 17V
The discharge limit voltage is the voltage
at which the battery will be disconnected
from the solar controller so there is no
current draw from the battery. When solar
power sucient to charge the battery
becomes available the battery will be
connected again.
Batt1 ODVD
Bank 1 Over-
discharge Delay
Time
5.0S 0 - 300s
The over-discharge time delay is the
time that the controller will wait when
it sees the voltage fall below the over-
discharge voltage and the discharge limit
voltage before entering a fault condition.
The purpose of this setting is to prevent
the controller from alerting the user
or disconnecting the battery when a
temporary surge is drawn from the battery
such as a starter motor or AC unit that
drops the voltage of the battery.
