1.4 Compatibility and limitations
The Redback SH5000 is a transformer-less Inverter; all other components of
the PV system must be compatible with this type of Inverter architecture.
AC-coupled installations are possible, enabling an existing grid-tied inverter’s
output to charge a Redback controlled battery.
The Redback SH5000 Smart Hybrid Inverter and BE14000 Battery Enclosure
are not suitable for:
• Batteries not specified by Redback.
• Off-Grid installations, where there is not normally a grid
connection.
• Locations without internet access: the system can operate off-line
but should normally have internet available – Redback requires
data for warranty claims.
• Installation in full-sun locations: the inverter may overheat
resulting in reduced efficiency and or automatic shutdown.
• Exposed locations where wind driven rain may penetrate the enclosure.
• Use with generators.
• Use with 5Ghz Wi-Fi networks
Multiple inverter energy systems
• SH5000 systems have not been tested for Section 5 of AS4777.2:2020—installation of SH5000s in a multiple
inverter energy system requires they are installed & used in accordance with the requirements of AS/NZS 4777.1.
1.5 Backup circuit design notes
The SH5000 includes one backup output activated during a grid outage and powered by the system batteries (4600W max.) and
or available PV (5000W max). Loads on the backup circuit must be selected to extend the backup power availability, noting:
• Continuous battery-only power delivery up to 4600W.
• Peak power delivery of 6900W for up to 10 seconds (for high
starting currents).
• System self-protects and shuts down if power limits are exceeded.
• Output is reduced above 45°C ambient temperature.
• System shuts down if 60°C ambient is exceeded.
The backup circuit is suitable for low power or intermittent use devices such as
refrigerators; freezers; LED or florescent lighting; small kitchen appliances;
computers; radio or televisions.
High starting-current or high operating-current loads must not be connected to
the Backup circuit e.g., hot water systems; air conditioners; ovens or cooktops;
spas or saunas or pool pumps.

WARNING. This equipment is NOT
intended for use with life support
equipment or other
medical
equipment or devices.
NOTE: This product supports
Pylontech US2000 and US3000
batteries only. Other Pylontech
and other
batteries cannot work in
this product.
WARNING. Installation in violation
of these limitations may void the
warranty (refer to the Warranty
document).
WARNING. Batteries must be
fitted i
f a backup circuit has been
connected to the inverter.
PV-only
power is not satisfactory
for
backup circuits
—backup load and
PV power are variable and
unpredictable
—when backup load
exceeds PV power the
Inverter will
automatically shut down and
restart.
