2 INSTALLATION GUIDE 2.2 Mounting Instructions The Distribution Box should be mounted as close as possible to the auxiliary battery(s) and Battery Charger to avoid voltage drop. 2.2.1 Mounting the Distribution Box The Distribution Box may be mounted in any orientation but must be mounted onto a flat, solid surface using 4 x M6 screws or bolts. Failure to adequately mount the unit, such as using adhesives to mount the unit may result in unreliable operation of the Distribution Box.
2 INSTALLATION GUIDE 2.2.2 Mounting the Display The Display should be mounted inside the vehicle (Refer to page 48 for a 1:1 cutout template). It is however acceptable to mount the Display in any convenient location, as long as it is protected from harsh environments such as being exposed to rain or severe amounts of dust or full-time direct sunlight. Spacer (optional) Display 8mm Max 4 x M4 or 8G 3.3mm Max Bezel 4.2mm Max Ensure that the Display is not mounted in vehicle head-impact zones.

2 INSTALLATION GUIDE 2.6 Battery & Charger Connection 2.6.1 Battery Connection Wire the Auxiliary Battery Positive (+) to the Distribution Box through the supplied 80A MIDI fuse - this fuse should be mounted as close as practical the battery. Refer to Section 2.3 for cable sizing. Wire the distribution box Battery Ground (-) to either a suitable grounding point (i.e. chassis or earth stud) or connect directly to the GND ( ) terminal of the Manager’s battery sensor. 2.6.
2 INSTALLATION GUIDE 2.6.3 Charger Connection (BCDC) The BCDC should be mounted as close as possible to the Distribution Box. Connect the BCDC’s battery output positive (+) and Ground ( ) to the Distribution Box Charger (+) and Ground (-) connections. Refer to Section 2.3 for cable sizing. The Distribution Box includes a 50A MIDI fuse to protect the charging circuit (the maximum charging current is 40A). Refer to Section 2.5 for details.
2 INSTALLATION GUIDE 2.7 Temperature Sensors Two 3 metre temperature sensors are included with RedVision and are able to sense from -40°C to +80°C. The two supplied temperature sensors may be added to the system by simply plugging into the two sockets on the Distribution Box.
2 INSTALLATION GUIDE 2.8 R-Bus Connection (Manager 15 or 30) BMS Terminating Resistor T-Piece Battery Sensor Display 2.8.1 Connecting the RedVision R-Bus RedVision uses an R-Bus communication system to link components. 1. Use the supplied 1 metre RJ45 cable to connect the Battery Management System to either of the sockets on the Distribution Box. 2. Use the 5 metre RJ45 cable to connect the remaining socket on the Distribution Box to the Display. 3.
2 INSTALLATION GUIDE 2.8.2 A Brief guide to R-BUS and CANBUS systems R-Bus and CANBus systems include devices designed to work in a daisy-chain network. A terminating resistor must be present at each end to terminate the network. REDARC Manager 15 & 30 have this resistor built in, thus removing the need to add an extra terminating resistor to one end of the system.
2 INSTALLATION GUIDE 2.9 Water Level Sensors Up to six water level sensors may be connected to the Distribution Box. RV Electronics 5 pin tank senders The Distribution Box has direct compatibility with the following sensors from RV Electronics: • SP0004 • SP0011 • SP0028 To use, simply connect the sender directly to the distribution box inputs. Other 2-5 pin tank senders Alternatively, most 2-5 pin conductive tank sensors can be used in conjunction with an AMP-171822-5 connector (not supplied).
2 INSTALLATION GUIDE 2.10 Optional Inverter Connection To ‘REMOTE’ Socket at Rear (12V end) of Inverter REDARC’s RS-Series inverters may be connected to the Distribution Box to allow the user to monitor power consumption, output load and switch the inverter on/off, all via the Display. Note that the 350W model inverter (R-12-350RS) offers power on/off control only.
