INSTALLATION — WIRING
WARNING: Do not make any cable and wiring connections when the vehicle ignition is on or the AC
Power is connected, as there is a risk of personal injury, damage to the vehicle and auxiliary battery. Do
not use the Manager AC input if the cord is damaged. The use of a non‑genuine or damaged AC input
cord may result in a risk of re, electric shock, or injury to persons. If the supply cord is damaged, it must
be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or service agent. The AC
Power connection must be connected to an earthed socket outlet.
CAUTION:
Damage to cabling can cause failure of the Manager and vehicle electrical systems. Ensure cabling is
clear of sharp edges or moving parts, and have enough slack to allow for exing. REDARC recommend
using cable ties and conduit or split tubing to manage cabling.
Ensure the correct cable and lug size is used to suit the application. Selecting the wrong cable and
lug size could result in harm to the installer or user and/or damage to the auxiliary battery or other
equipment installed in the system. The installer is responsible for ensuring that the correct cable sizes
are used when installing the Manager.
LUG AND HEATSHRINK ASSEMBLY
Before making any connections, assemble each cable with appropriate size lug using heatshrink as
demonstrated below.
REDARC recommends using heatshrink as it protects the cable and lug connection from harsh environments,
sharp cutting edges and abrasion.
1. Slide the heatshrink over the cable.
2. Strip the end of the cable back enough to ensure
the insulation does not enter the barrel of the lug
when fully inserted.
3. Insert the stripped wires into the barrel of the lug.
4. Crimp the lug using the correct crimping tool.
5. Slide the heatshrink to partially cover the lug,
leaving the lug tongue exposed.
6. Shrink the heatshrink.
