WARNING: Working on the inside of the BlackMax system is restricted to qualified personnel.
In Australia this is typically qualified electricians with CEC accreditation for Solar and Battery.
WARNING: Lithium Battery Hazard
Many of the procedures covered in the Installation manual have inherent risks.
Whilst the BlackMax is designed to be electrically safe, including residual current
device and double insulated cables, the voltages connected or generated by the
equipment are hazardous and potentially fatal.
Shutdown and safety procedures
The BlackMax must only be commissioned by suitably qualified personnel.
It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure the operation and all the wiring is
carried out according to all safety standards that are applicable to the installation.
The wiring diagrams and installation instructions are given as a guide only and
compliance to appropriate standards is the responsibility of the installer.
Damaged battery
Do not use a damaged battery. Batteries should only be disposed of at an appropriate recycling centre.
Please contact RedEarth for advice.
Fire
In the event of fire evacuate the area and call
emergency services. A dry agent fire extinguisher
should be readily available and used. DO NOT use
water. Evacuate the area and call emergency
services. Toxic gas may be produced if the battery
catches fire.
Note: MSDS document is provided with the system
and also can be found at www.redearth.energy

RedEarth’s BlackMax battery system is a all in one, ready-to-run energy storage system for off-
grid applications. It consists of a Alino TL 5kVA hybrid inverter and up to two (2) self-managed
lithium batteries (8kWh total). It is fully assembled, factory tested and requires no programming.
It is ready to connect a PV Solar array and a generator (either auto or manual start)
The BlackMax system is designed to be installed either inside or outside, ideally on a flat surface
and in a shaded area against a wall.
RedEarth Energy Storage can also provide an opptional remote monitoring service to ensure
ongoing operation of the BlackMax battery system.
A typical complete installation of the BlackMax with solar panels, will require the electrical
connection of:
•The customers load – via
external GPO.
•The array of PV solar panels
– via MC4 conectors on the
side of the unit.
•Generator – via external
GPO.
In addition, the installer may need to
verify that the internet/monitoring is
operational; assuming remote
monitoring is requested. In this
case, RedEarth can provide a SIM-
card based monitoring solution if the customer does not have internet and the installation site has
mobile coverage.
Note: The BlackMax is not designed to act as a main switch board for the premises, as it does not
include space for additional main & customer circuit breakers or RCDs. The MEN link and Earth
connection need to be in place at the premises as required.

The BlackMax can be divided into four areas. The AC, the DC, the inverter, and the battery area.
With two access points available, use the lid for the batteries and the front door for the switches
and electronic equipment. Below is explained how to access and what to expect in each area.
The Top:
A clear weather proof cover on the lid allows viewing of
the display, if interaction is needed, the cover can be
easily lifted by releasing the two screws and the clip tab
from the front and held in a vertical position with the
help of rear hinges.
For a full shutdown procedure, access to the batteries
is required. This is also done via the lid as it can pivot
on the rear hinges and sit in a vertical position.
Note: Refer to the Installation Manual for more
information on how to lift the lid.
Once the lid is open, clear and direct access is
available to the batteries
The Door:
The second access is made by the front door. To open it,
the two key locks must be turned clockwise with the help
of the key. These items are shown in the picture to the
right.
The AC Side:
Looking at the AC side of the BlackMax
(left-hand side), you will find the items
shown in the picture to the right.
•15A INLET power point for the
generator (a 15 Amp lead is
required)
•15A OUTLET power point (a
standard 10A lead will also fit)
•Magnetic hook & key
