1.5 Multi-stage Charging Process
The Manager30 incorporates two different multi-stage charging profiles – Touring
(3-stage) and Storage (8-stage) – which can be selected in the System Mode menu
(outlined in section 3.4 on page 28 of this manual) on the Display.
Touring Mode
Touring mode is designed for use when ‘on the road’. Touring mode offers a 3-stage
charging profile consisting of Boost, Absorption and Float stages (see Figure 1.5.1). In
Touring mode, the house battery is monitored to detect only a limited number of faults
such as short circuit, over current and over voltage. This allows The Manager30 to operate
correctly even when loads are connected to the house battery. This mode will always
produce an output (unless a fault condition is detected) and will cycle through the three
stages as required to maintain the house battery as outlined in Figure 1.5.1.
Touring mode will achieve its best charge level if a Storage mode charge has been
recently performed.
