THE MANAGER30
The Manager30 Battery Management System is a complete charging solution for your Lead Acid or Lithium
Iron Phosphate (LiFePO
4)
Auxiliary or House battery. The system incorporates 12 V Solar, 110 VAC and
12/24 VDC inputs to provide a 12 V charging output at a maximum 30 A rating.
The system also includes a Remote Monitor which provides information such as current, voltage and
temperature as well as a simplified battery State of Charge (SoC) (charge remaining) and charge rate.
WARNINGS & IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
THIS MANUAL CONTAINS IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR THE MANAGER30 BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
THAT SHALL BE FOLLOWED DURING INSTALLATION,
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE UNIT.
DO NOT OPERATE THE BATTERY CHARGER UNLESS YOU HAVE
READ AND UNDERSTOOD THIS MANUAL AND THE CHARGER
IS INSTALLED AS PER THESE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
REDARC RECOMMENDS THAT THE CHARGER BE INSTALLED
BY A SUITABLY QUALIFIED PERSON.
WARNING
RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES:
WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS
DANGEROUS. BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES
DURING NORMAL OPERATION. FOR THIS REASON, IT
IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT YOU FOLLOW THE
INSTRUCTIONS EACH TIME YOU USE THE CHARGER.
CAUTION
1. The Battery Charger should not be used by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they are supervised or have been instructed on how to
use the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the Battery Charger.
2. Do NOT alter or disassemble the Battery Charger under any
circumstances. All services or repairs must be returned to
REDARC for repair. Incorrect handling or reassembly may
result in a risk of electric shock or fire and may void the unit
warranty.
3. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by REDARC
may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons.
4. GROUNDING AND AC POWER CORD CONNECTION
INSTRUCTIONS — Charger shall be grounded to reduce risk
of electric shock. Charger is equipped with an electric cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. The plug is to be plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
DANGER — Do not alter AC cord or plug provided — where
it does not fit outlet, have proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician. Improper connection increases the
risk of an electric shock. (If the supply cord is damaged, it
must be replaced by the genuine REDARC part or assembly
available from the manufacturer or service agent).
5. Cable and fuse sizes are specified by various codes and
standards which depend on the type of vehicle the Battery
Charger is installed into. Selecting the wrong cable or fuse
size could result in harm to the installer or user and/or
damage to the Battery Charger or other equipment installed
in the system. The installer is responsible for ensuring that
the correct cable and fuse sizes are used when installing
this Battery Charger. The fuse must be UL Listed / UL
Recognized.
6. When charging a battery, make sure the settings at the
Battery Setup menu on the Remote Monitor are correct for
the type of battery under charge. Charging a battery with the
wrong profile may cause the Battery Charger to indicate a
fault or give misleading results and cause injury to persons,
damage to the Battery Charger and/or property. Noticeable
oscillations between Boost and Absorption stages indicate
the wrong choice of battery type. Check and adjust battery
type. If you are unsure of the battery type or settings to use,
set to the Gel setting.
7. Only use the Battery Charger for charging Standard
Automotive Sealed Lead Acid (SLA), Lead Crystal, Calcium
Content, Gel, Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM), Start Lighting
Ignition (SLI), Deep-Cycle or Lithium Iron Phosphate type
12 V batteries.
8. Do NOT try to charge non-rechargeable batteries.
9. When using the Battery Charger to charge a Lithium Iron
Phosphate battery, only batteries that feature an inbuilt
battery management system featuring inbuilt under and over
voltage protection and cell balancing are suitable.
10. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of a
battery. This may cause the battery to explode.
11. Be extra cautious so as to reduce the risk of dropping a
metal tool onto a vehicle battery. Doing so might cause the
