WARNINGS & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - THIS MANUAL CONTAINS IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE

MANAGER30 BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM.

DO NOT OPERATE THE BATTERY CHARGER UNLESS YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THIS MANUAL

AND THE CHARGER IS INSTALLED AS PER THESE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. REDARC RECOMMENDS

THAT THE CHARGER BE INSTALLED BY A SUITABLY QUALIFIED PERSON.

RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES:

WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS. BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE

GASES DURING NORMAL OPERATION. FOR THIS REASON, IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT YOU

FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EACH TIME YOU USE THE CHARGER.

1. The Battery Charger should not be used by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or

mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are supervised or have been instructed

on how to use the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure

that they do not play with the Battery Charger.

2. Do NOT alter or disassemble the Battery Charger under any circumstances. All services or repairs must be

returned to REDARC for repair. Incorrect handling or reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or ﬁre and

may void the unit warranty.

3. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by REDARC may result in a risk of ﬁre, electric shock, or injury

to persons.

4. The AC power connection must be connected to an earthed socket outlet. Do not use the AC input if the cord is

damaged. Use of a non-genuine or damaged AC input cord may result in a risk of ﬁre, electric shock, or injury to

persons. (If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the genuine REDARC part or assembly available

from the manufacturer or service agent).

5. Cable and fuse sizes are speciﬁed by various codes and standards which depend on the type of vehicle the

Battery Charger is installed into. Selecting the wrong cable or fuse size could result in harm to the installer

or user and/or damage to the Battery Charger or other equipment installed in the system. The installer is

responsible for ensuring that the correct cable and fuse sizes are used when installing this Battery Charger.

6. When charging a battery, make sure the settings at the Battery Setup menu on the Remote Monitor are correct

for the type of battery under charge. Charging a battery with the wrong proﬁle may cause the Battery Charger

to indicate a fault or give misleading results and cause injury to persons, damage to the Battery Charger and/or

property. Noticeable oscillations between Boost and Absorption stages indicate the wrong choice of battery type.

Check and adjust battery type. If you are unsure of the battery type or settings to use, set to the Gel setting.

7. Only use the Battery Charger for charging Standard Automotive Lead Acid, Lead Crystal, Calcium Content, Gel,

AGM, SLI, Deep Cycle or Lithium Iron Phosphate type 12V batteries.
