Welcome
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Redback Smart Inverter. Our products are designed and manufactured to our
high-quality standards and will provide years of service.
This manual describes the features, use and maintenance of your Smart Inverter.
Introduction
Your Redback Smart Inverter converts solar energy from rooftop PV to electricity, which can power your home and or be
exported to the grid, when permitted*.
Following installation and setup by the installer, your inverter works quietly in the background. Apart from occasional
maintenance, your inverter is set-and-forget, but you can stay involved if you wish.
The MyRedback app and the Redback portal provide a comprehensive view of the energy consumed by your home, including
when you consume it. You can use this information to optimize your energy usage patterns and improve your usage of
self-generated power.
*The electricity network operator in your area may limit the power you can export to the network, or the times at which it may
be exported. Ask your installer or electricity retailer if any export restrictions apply to your location.
Getting help
Contact your installer first. You can usually find their contacts details on the inverter, inside the meter box, or inside the back
cover of this booklet. If your installer is unable to assist, try one of the other resources below or open a case with our Customer
Support Team at https://portal.redbacktech.com/supportrequest.

Transfer of ownership
If a Redback system is already installed in your new home, welcome to the Redback family. To get the best from your Redback
system, and to receive important notifications from your system, you need to setup an account using a valid email address. You
can then access the system using the Redback app or portal, see how the system is working for you, and gain insights to help
maximise your consumption of self-generated energy.
When we setup your account, we’ll also arrange for remaining warranty to be transferred to your name and we can answer any
questions you may have about your system.
To get started, initiate a case with the Redback Customer Support Team at https://portal.redbacktech.com/supportrequest.
We’ll get back to you as soon as possible. We’ll need some proof of ownership too, so be ready for that.

System limitations
Your Smart Inverter will not operate during a power outage:
•If your inverter detects a grid power outage (a blackout) it
automatically disconnects from the grid and deactivates itself. This
is to protect from unexpected discharge into the grid which would
pose a hazard to service personnel.
•During a blackout, PV is not available for household consumption.
•Your inverter will automatically restart when grid power is restored.
Your system is not suitable for:
•Off-Grid installations (where the grid is intentionally disconnected).
•Locations without internet access: the system can work off-line, but you will be unable to review consumption or
performance; or make informed decisions about system settings or consumption patterns. Warranty support will also
be affected.
•Prediction of your energy bills. The Redback meter is a Class 1 meter: it provides a good indication of energy
consumption; however, readings may vary slightly from the Network meters used for billing.
•Use with generators.
WARNING! This equipment is
NOT intended for use with life

Product dimensions
Typical installation
EMS module nameplates
Your inverter includes a Communications Module located at the
bottom centre of the inverter. Modules are specified/optioned
according to needs. The nameplate identifies the type of module
fitted.

Redback Technologies
Owner’s Guide – Redback Smart Inverter - v1.4 9
Getting the best from your system
Your Redback system is designed to operate autonomously – the level of interaction is up to you.
A set-and-forget approach will work fine: occasional maintenance is all that is required.
Alternatively, you can dive into your data and make informed decisions to optimize your system and lifestyle to maximize the
return on your investment.
Either way, the first step is to look after your Redback.
Keep your system in good condition
Keeping your system in good condition maintains efficiency, increases longevity, and helps us help you, if the need arises. There
are three key items requiring your attention.
Cooling
Your system uses fresh air to cool the inverter. If your system becomes too
hot its efficiency decreases, and it may even shut down.
There must always be 200mm of clear space adjacent, above, and below
your system. Ensure no items are left near the base of the system or placed
on top of the inverter, as air flow will be obstructed.
The system must not be enclosed i.e., do not build a cabinet around it.
Maintenance
Complete the annual maintenance items in Section 12. In very dusty
conditions you may need to clean the filters more frequently.
Internet connection
Data is required to get the best out of your system. A permanent internet
connection enables the system to send data to the Redback cloud, where
the MyRedback app and Redback portal present helpful information,
enabling you to see your system’s performance. Your installer or Redback
can also use the data to diagnose problems or suggest improvements,
based on your actual usage.
Note: Your system will continue to function without an internet connection,
but you will be unable to receive any fault notifications; no data will exist
for the period of disconnection; software updates will not occur; and
remote support will be limited. You may also affect your warranty coverage
if the system is offline.

Operation
10 Owner’s Guide – Redback Smart Inverter – v1.4
Use Smart Load Control (optional hardware is needed)
Redback’s Smart Load Control feature enables you to make the best of your generated energy by only running your large loads
(such as a pool pump or hot water system) when there is excess solar energy available.
Smart Load Control is a sophisticated system that aims to:
•Run the load using only excess PV energy.
•Avoid switching the load excessively (e.g., when a small cloud passes in front of the sun).
•Optionally, the system will ensure that the load runs for a nominated number of hours each day. This is useful for
equipment like pool pumps or hot water systems which require a minimum daily run-time.
The Smart Load Control feature is available for compatible Redback SI-series Smart Inverters and requires that a relay is
connected and controlled by the existing SI inverter energy meter. The relay switches the large load on and off.
The Smart Load Control can be over-ridden using Portal ON/OFF or scheduling commands or bypassed completely using an
optional hardware switch.
Contact your installer to install or configure Smart Load Control and associated hardware that suits your needs.
Monitor performance
Redback offers two choices for monitoring the energy performance of your household.
8.3.1 MYREDBACK APP
MyRedback provides a simple, up-to-date view of what’s happening at your place – it’s great for
quickly checking the energy flow at home. MyRedback is available for Android 7 or higher and iOS
12.1 or higher. Use the app to:
•Check your home energy usage.
•Reconnect your system to the internet.
•Review your system settings- but you’ll need to contact your installer if changes are
required.
8.3.2 REDBACK PORTAL
The Redback portal portal.redbacktech.com offers all the features of the MyRedback app plus a comprehensive history of your
system’s performance, much greater detail about your system, and direct access to support documents.
DASHBOARD
The dashboard view provides an overview of your system:
•Energy consumption trends
•Power demand
•Power being bought or exported
If nothing else, you should view the Renewable Energy Meter regularly; it
shows the system’s impact on your energy consumption during the past 7,
30 or 90 days. If it falls below 60%, it is worth reviewing your usage habits
or your system size and settings.

12 Owner’s Guide – Redback Smart Inverter – v1.4
Restart procedure
Restart your inverter as shown below.

Redback Technologies
Owner’s Guide – Redback Smart Inverter - v1.4 13
Connect your system to the internet
Onboarding connects your system to the internet using your network. Connection to the network is by Ethernet cable or Wi-Fi.
There are two easy ways to check if your system is online:
1. Login to the Redback portal. If your system is “Online” and refreshing data every 6o seconds, then it is connected.
2. Login to the MyRedback app. If data is refreshing every 60 seconds, then the system is connected.
Occasionally, it may be necessary to reconnect your inverter to the internet. This most frequently occurs after a significant
disruption to your network such as replacing your router, changing passwords, or changing internet providers.
There are two onboarding processes: Ethernet or Bluetooth Low Energy (BT or BLE).
Ethernet
Ethernet is the preferred method of connection: onboarding occurs automatically, confirmed by:
•Inverter Status LED is BLUE
•Communications module LAN icon is blue.
To connect using ethernet, your system must have the optional “EMS Ethernet” communications module installed. Ask your
installer for assistance if you would like to connect using ethernet.

Operation
14 Owner’s Guide – Redback Smart Inverter – v1.4
Bluetooth
BLE onboarding is required if ethernet is not available–a Bluetooth connection is established between the inverter and the
MyRedback app, and the app will guide you through the process of connecting the inverter to your Wi-Fi network.
To onboard using Bluetooth:
1. Go to your inverter. Ensure your home network signal is Good or better at this location.
2. Shutdown and restart your system, as described in sections 9.1 and 9.2.
3. Wait for the status LED to begin flashing continuously, indicating Bluetooth is advertising.
4. On your device, open MyRedback and login. Touch the Hamburger to display the flyout menu.
5. Select Network Connection. Note your system status and select Change Network.
6. You may be notified to start Bluetooth—follow the on-screen instructions, otherwise touch Bluetooth LED Flashing
to continue.
7. Select your Wi-Fi network from the list.
8. Enter Password if asked, and touch Connect. A success message will appear.
9. Wait two minutes, then confirm onboarding success:
On the MyRedback app, check that data is refreshing every 20 seconds;
On the Portal, check that your system is online, and refreshing every 60 seconds.
10. If onboarding fails, try again, or contact Redback Customer Support for help.

Inverter overheating
Note: your inverter is
passively cooled and relies on
a temperature difference
between the inverter casing
and ambient air. Air flow
obstructions, or anything that
reduces the temperature
differential also reduces the
inverter’s self-cooling
efficiency.
Insufficient cooling
Is there 200mm clear space on
all sides of the inverter?
Ensure 200mm on all sides of
the inverter is free of
obstructions.
Are the cooling fins at the back
of the unit obstructed by dust,
insects, or other debris?
Clean the fins using a suitable
brush e.g., a Bottle Brush.

Multiple inverter installations
Your installation may include 1-3 SI-series inverters, usually connected to different phases, and these inverters operate
independently except in one situation: if any inverter encounters a fault and needs to shut down, then the other two inverters
will also shut down immediately. When the first inverter recovers, or is isolated from PV and the Grid, the other two inverters
will restart.
Internet connection problems
Occasionally, your inverter may lose internet connection and be reported as “offline”. Ethernet connected systems usually self-
repair after a system restarts. Wi-Fi problems usually require that the system is re-onboarded. The most common causes of
“offline” reports are:
