<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">I am repairing a site with NEP PVG RSD devices. We will be removing all of the modules and finding out why the system is underperforming and why 2 of the units are not reporting.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="Default"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">The quick start guide includes this line:
</span><span style="font-size:16.0pt">PVG’s PV-lead pairs must be connected to PV modules before connecting homerun cables between RSD device.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">I find this wording confusing. Homerun cables do not connect between RSD devices, home runs connect to the PV input on an inverter (Soul-Arc in this case).</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">I wish to rail mount the PVG RSD devices, connect the series wiring between these modules and then connect the PV. Can I interconnect the PVG units prior to connecting the
PV modules? This sure would make the process easier.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
