7 Secure the Solar Arrays to the ground
WARNING
Failure to properly secure the Solar Arrays to the surface with sandbags could result in PV panel
damage, injury, or death in high winds. Tent stakes should be used in addition to sandbags when
possible. Wind damage can render panels nonfunctional or significantly reduce their functional life
expectancy.
Detailed instructions for securing the Solar Arrays are found in the 420W Expedition Solar
Array-C operator manual Read and follow these instructions
The Solar Arrays must be properly secured to the ground even in low-wind environments. The
methods used for ground securing are determined by two (2) factors:
1. The type of surface upon which the Solar Arrays are to be deployed—“hard” surface (such as
pavement) or “soft” surface (such as dirt or sand)
2. The environmental conditions—wind conditions that the Solar Arrays might encounter
Grounding the PRO-Verter at the grounding lug is a safety measure.
The PRO-Verter and the generator should be bonded to the trailer
equipment grounding conductor, which should be connected to the
earth grounding rod. When the generator is running, the AC neutral
and equipment ground automatically are bonded internally at the
generator. When running off battery, the AC neutral and equipment
ground automatically are bonded internally at the PRO-Verter.
There should be no other neutral-to-ground bonds on the trailer.
If the System is ever connected to grid power, there must be a neutral to ground bond at the main
breaker panel of the grid power.

g Connect Remote Monitoring Kit to PC or LAN (RMK; optional)
The RMK provides remote access to vital
operating data of the PRO-Verter via the User
Interface on the Faceplate. RMK data can be
accessed via the TECH (ethernet) PORT on the
front of the PRO-Verter. If an RMK is installed,
ensure that the connections are as shown below.
See the Operator and Maintenance Manual for
the RMK for detailed information.
