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 non-
essential functions off. The Manager30 will ‘wake-up’ from its Sleep mode if the power
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 40Ah 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 BMS1230S3 capacity 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 Recommended batteries
Because of the rapidly changing nature of batteries and battery technology, REDARC avoid
recommending specific battery makes or models. Instead, we recommend consultation
with a battery specialist, and that the batteries used be
UL approved where possible.
Regardless of the battery(s) chosen, check the manufacturer’s datasheet to ensure
maximum charge current and maximum charge voltage does not exceed the battery’s
ratings.
1.8 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. mains). Priority is given to Solar then to AC Mains power, then to
DC Vehicle power.
