1 INTRODUCTION
IMPORTANT
When The Manager30 is set to ‘Storage’ mode and no valid charging sources are connected, it will
enter a ‘Sleep’ mode 30 seconds after the last user interaction. The sleep mode is designed to limit the
amount of current drawn from the output battery by the system whilst in Storage mode and does this
by switching the screen and all nonessential functions off. The Manager30 will ‘wake-up’ from its Sleep
mode if a button is pushed or if any valid input source is sensed, though this may take 30–60 seconds to
occur after the source is connected.
1.6
Maximum Charge Current Setting
The Manager30 allows the user to set the maximum charge current for their battery, making it suitable
for charging batteries as small as 40 Ah in capacity. When the charge current is set below the maximum
30 Amps, the current supplied to charge the battery is restricted to the user setting. Any excess current is
available to power loads running from the battery under charge.
If no loads are running from the battery, total current from The Manager30 will be restricted to the level
set by the user.
1.7
Green Power Priority
The Manager30 is designed to charge from multiple sources simultaneously to charge the auxiliary/
house battery. If the Solar power input is available the maximum available solar power will be used before
topping up the output charging current from another source if available (e.g. AC Mains/Shore Power,).
Priority is given to Solar then to AC Mains then to DC Vehicle power.
