Operation Guide

2 INSTALLATION GUIDE
2.2.1 Mounting the Main Unit
Do NOT expose the Main Unit to rain, snow, spray or bilge water. For optimum operation,
The Manager30 should be mounted where the temperature is nominally below 35°C and
does not exceed a maximum of 60°C. The Manager30 must not be mounted in the vehicle
engine bay.
The Main Unit must not be installed in a location with any less than 10cm clearance at the
top of the Main Unit, to allow for airflow across the heatsink fins.
The Main Unit should be installed as close as possible to the house battery. The cable
length should be less than 2m.
The Main Unit must be mounted to a flat, solid support using M6 sized screws or bolts,
using all four mounting holes.
The Main Unit must be fixed using suitable screw mounts. Failure to adequately
mount the unit, such as using adhesives to mount the unit will result in unreliable
operation of the charger.
REDARC recommends that the Main Unit be mounted to optimise airflow past the heatsink.
Mounting the unit horizontally (see Figure 2.2.1.1) is recommended and mounting
vertically (see Figure 2.2.1.2) is still acceptable. Do NOT mount the unit as shown in
Figure 2.2.1.3.
