2 INSTALLATION GUIDE
2.2.3 Mounting the Battery Sensor
The length of cables on the Battery Sensor to connect to the Main Unit and the House
Battery will dictate the allowable mounting distance from the battery however REDARC
recommend mounting the Battery Sensor as close to the House Battery as possible.
The sensor must be mounted where the red temperature/voltage sensor module can be
bolted to the battery positive terminal of the House Battery.
The Battery Sensor should be mounted to a solid surface using two suitably sized screws
for attachment. Figure 2.2.3.1 illustrates how to mount the Battery Sensor.
2.3 DC Cable Size Requirements
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
Manager30 or other equipment installed in the system. The installer is responsible
for ensuring that the correct cable and fuse sizes are used when installing the
Battery Charger.
The Manager30 is capable of drawing up to 50A from the Vehicle Battery (which may be
several metres from its installation location) and is limited to 30A output to the House
Battery. The installer needs to ensure the appropriate cable is used to connect the
positive and negative connections of The Manager30 to both the Vehicle Battery and the
House Battery. The Manager30 will operate with less efficient cabling however for best
performance, high-quality cable connections should be used to minimise voltage drop
and efficiency losses.
