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.
2. To avoid a risk of fire and electric shock, make sure that any extension cords are in
good condition, adequately rated, and not undersized. Do not operate the RSG with
damaged or substandard wiring (15 Amp rating minimum).
3. Do not operate the RPS if it has been dropped or otherwise damaged in some way. If
the RPS has been damaged, either discard the unit or send it to SilentGreen/West
Engineering Group for repair. We will provide you with an estimate before repairing
the unit.
4. Attempting to service the RPS yourself may result in a risk of electrical shock or fire.
Precautions when working with lithium-ion batteries
WARNING: Explosion or fire hazard. Risk of injury to persons.
1. Lithium-ion batteries generate large currents which can produce dangerous sparks or
arcs. To prevent fire or explosion, do not operate the RPS in compartments
containing flammable materials or gases, or in locations that require ignition-
protected equipment. This includes any space containing gasoline-powered
equipment, fuel tanks, as well as joints, fittings or other connections between
components of the fuel system.
2. Make sure the area around the RSG is well ventilated.
3. If you need to remove a battery, always remove the ground terminal first. Make sure
the RSG is OFF so you don’t cause a spark.
CAUTION: RPS battery permanently damage if discharged or frozen
The RPS is designed to be connected continuously to solar panels to maintain battery
charge. If the RPS is disconnected from solar panels for an extended duration (over 6
months) the batteries can become discharged and if left in that condition may become
permanently damaged and they may not accept a charge. Additionally, the batteries will
be permanently damaged if stored at temperatures below -4 F. The warranty does not
cover product neglect. To prevent this condition, connect at least one 100W solar panel
that receives direct sunlight at least part of the day to the RPS, and store in a
temperature controlled location during winter.

INTRODUCTION
The RPS is an intelligent renewable power system. It is designed to last a lifetime,
providing pure AC power to modern appliances and equipment while generating no
emissions and requiring minimal maintenance. The RPS, unlike gasoline and diesel
generators, can be operated indoors. It contains no dangerous or harmful liquids, gases,
or metals. 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.
The RPS is a fully-automatic, self-regulating, high-efficiency power system. Once
connected to solar panels and loads (power consuming devices), the RPS will optimize
its charge cycle, preventing over-charging and over-discharging the battery. It will also
automatically re-enable the AC Power Outlets once the batteries have been sufficiently
recharged, minimizing the impact of potential power interruptions (even though your
fridge may lose power it will be restored once solar charging has brought the battery
back up to an operational voltage).

SET-UP
Connect the (optional) Battery Pack at least 24 hours before operating the RPS to
allow the batteries to equalize.
1. Place the Battery Pack 8-10 inches away from a wall.
2. Place the RPS on top of the Battery Pack.
3. Tilt the RPS backwards so that the bottom is lifted away from the Battery
Pack top, this will expose the Case Plug and allow easy connection.
4. Remove the Case Plug from the RPS bottom to expose the High-Current
Connector. A flat blade screw driver can be used to aid removal of the Plug.
Note: The Battery Pack cable has a longer reach by design and also more
space inside the case for cable storage.

5. Pull the Connector from the Battery Pack and connect it to the Connector
from the bottom of the RPS. Make sure the connector is mated fully.
6. Gently lower the RPS onto the Battery Pack, allowing the connectors and
cable to recess into the Battery Pack.

7. Latch the side clamps to secure the cases to each other.
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. Connecting before dawn or after sunrise is preferable. Connecting the
solar panels to the RPS while they are in sunlight will damage the Controllers due
to a high current pulse.
1. Identify a suitable, indoor, flat location for the RPS that is dry and well-
ventilated. Only operate the RPS while it is flat on the ground. Tilting the RPS
will impede cooling.
