Getting The Best From Your System; Keep Your System In Good Condition - Redback SI5000 Owner's Manual

Redback Technologies

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.
