Page 4: Important Safety Instructions
WARNING: Shock, fire and heat hazard. Risk of injury to persons. 1. Do not expose the RPS to rain, snow, spray, or water. To reduce the risk of fire hazard do not cover or obstruct the ventilation openings. Overheating may result. -
Page 5: Introduction
The RPS has been designed to provide renewable power with minimal impact on our environment and no need for fossil fuels. The RPS maximizes the use of COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) components to simplify field repairs many years into the future. -

- Page 10 RPS SET-UP Caution: Possible Damage to RPS Controllers when connecting Solar 1-Use a 30A fuse at each positive MC-4 input to the RPS to minimize damage to the RPS from a power surge from the solar panels. 2-Only connect the solar panel cables to the RPS when the panels are not in direct sunlight.
- Page 11 3. Connect the solar panels to the y connectors and then to the cables. 4. Run the cables from the solar panel array to the RPS. Make sure to take sufficient precautions to protect the cable from weather and pests.
- Page 12 Panel Voltage, Load Current (ignore), Solar Charge Current, Temperature in degrees Celsius. The Controller on the RIGHT side (when facing the front of the RPS) is the MASTER CONTROLLER. It controls the System Enable Switch light and actives/deactivates the AC Outlet depending on the battery voltage. The AC Outlet is ON when the System Enable Switch light is ON (green).
- Page 13 Press the LEFT button on the CONTROLLER to show the accumulated Charge Current in Ah. Sum both CONTROLLER displays for total solar input.

Page 17: Operation
Do not operate the RSG in areas that may contain explosive gas. CAUTION! Possible Damage to RPS Locate the RPS in a cool, dry location. Do not block the Vents as they are used to cool the inverter. Provide at least 1 foot of clearance between the cooling vents and any obstruction. - Page 18 Maximum RPS Battery Voltage swing when system is ‘sustainable’...
- Page 19 (approximately 10-15% charge level). If the System Voltage is below the sustainable voltage level (where the system turns itself off) consider reducing the equipment load on the RPS, add a Battery Pack, or another RPS. If the System Voltage cannot support the energy needs during sunlight hours,...

Page 20: Maintenance
Emergency Power If AC Power is required after the RPS disables the AC Outlet, it is possible to override the battery life extension feature (BLiX) by pressing the RIGHT button on the RIGHT Controller for one second. This will override the Controller and run the battery to 20 V at which time the inverter will alarm and then self-power down. -
