ground wire alert - sluggo - 06-22-2015

I have a 2006 Sovran 3600.  Up on the electrical panel next to meters are 3 little lights, that indicated different problems with the shore power.  The second light keeps coming on, it says like , 'ground wrong' and the alarm beeps.  I have my power cords hard wired to the box on the one end, and the regular connectors on the boat end.  When the alarm goes off, I just reset set the breakers at the power box and everything reads okay.  My question is, what causes the alarm to go off??  I am sure I have things wired correctly, and when everything is reset, everything reads correctly, plus there are times, maybe weeks,  the alarm wont go off at all.   I thought for a while, a loose connection may cause this, and that's why I hard wired them to the box.  Any other thoughts???  TIA
