1.3 Product description E Dry contact
Growatt SPH TL BL-UP inverters are designed to store energy generated from the PV F BAT: Battery terminal
panels and the grid when the AC Charging function is enabled. They can also export
power to the grid. In case that a grid outage occurs, the SPH TL BL-UP supports the backup G VPP: communication
function. The SPH series inverters offer six models:
H RS485-2: RS485-2 communication
SPH series has six kinds of type: I RS485-1: RS485-1 communication
• SPH 3000 TL BL-UP
• SPH 3600 TL BL-UP J NC (Not Connected)
• SPH 4000 TL BL-UP K CAN: CAN communication interface of Lithium battery
• SPH 4600 TL BL-UP
• SPH 5000 TL BL-UP L DRM: RJ45 interface of DRMs(used only in Australia)
• SPH 6000 TL BL-UP CT1/METER1: RS485 communication interface of Merter/CT input

Note: the models mentioned above are hereinafter referred to as "SPH". terminal
N AC Grid: On-grid connection
Note: The power class available varies in different countries. For instance, in Germany,
we offer the SPH 3000-SPH 4600TL BL-UP, while SPH 5000TL BL-UP and SPH 6000TL BL- O RSD (professionals only)

Ø Before unpacking the inverter, please check whether the packaging is
intact and ensure that it has not been damaged during transportation J 4 M6 set screw
or handling, so as not to affect the integrity or safety of the insulating
material; failure to do so may lead to safety hazards. K 2 Battery output terminal
Ø After unpacking the inverter, please check if there is any device

damage or missing components. If so, please contact your supplier.
WARNING Ø Unauthorized removal of necessary protection, incorrect use, M/N 2/2 MC4 connector
improper installation and operation may result in serious safety
hazards, risk of electric shock or equipment damage. O 1 Allen key
Ø To avoid device damage caused during movement, please transport
the inverter properly.The total weight of the SPA inverter can be up to The SPH-UP features an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) level switch with a maximum
27 kg. transfer time of 16ms. However, it cannot be used as a UPS in critical scenarios such as
medical power supply. For maintenance purposes, it is necessary to install a single-phase
automatic transfer switch (ATS-S) on both the EPS and grid sides. ATS-S is an optional
A B C D configuration in the installation process. With an ATS-S installed, it can automatically
switch to off-grid mode during a power outage to provide power to the EPS load.

27 kg. transfer time of 16ms. However, it cannot be used as a UPS in critical scenarios such as
medical power supply. For maintenance purposes, it is necessary to install a single-phase
automatic transfer switch (ATS-S) on both the EPS and grid sides. ATS-S is an optional
A B C D configuration in the installation process. With an ATS-S installed, it can automatically
switch to off-grid mode during a power outage to provide power to the EPS load.

If the SPH fails to work properly due to over-temperature or under-temperature, please
proceed as follows:
Ÿ Check if the air duct of the heat sink is properly installed. Choose an appropriate
position before installation.
Ÿ Check if the battery temperature is excessively high. If so, you need to ensure proper
ventilation and cool the battery down.
Ÿ Check if the battery temperature is lower than the specified threshold, which might
initiate the low-temperature protection. The fault will disappear once the temperature is
