TYPICAL MANAGER SETUP
NOTICE: For correct operation, the Manager must be connected to the vehicle start battery and not to the
alternator or generator output. The Battery Monitor must be the only connection made to the auxiliary battery
negative (–) terminal and all loads must connect to the common ground. Ensure the common ground bus bar
(if used) is also connected to the vehicle ground (or chassis) using a cable rated to take the highest current.

This wiring diagram shows a common/typical system configuration. If unsure, contact REDARC Technical Support for
advice on your individual system requirements.
*These fuses must be suitably rated for the cable gauge used. REDARC recommends the use of MIDI/MEGA type fuses (page15).
**If used, connect the vehicle ignition (
) to D+ or ignition switched fuse in one of the vehicle's fuse boxes, located in either the
engine compartment or vehicle cabin, see page32.
***To determine if an input fuse is required for solar (
), refer to page12 and page31.
1. The Battery Monitor Ground and Battery Negative cable need to be able to carry the larger of the maximum capacity of the
Manager50/75/100 or the maximum current drawn by all connected loads.
2. The Solar common ground cable needs to carry current delivered from solar panel array.
3. The Common ground cable from the Main Unit requires a cable size that can carry the maximum capacity of the Manager 50/75/100.
4. Cable size needs to carry the maximum capacity of the Manager 50/75/100. Connect to chassis earth point or chassis side of
any vehicle current monitoring device. Do not connect directly to the start battery negative (–) terminal.
