Warnings And Safety Instructions - Redarc Manager15 Manual

THE MANAGER15
The Manager15 Battery Management System is a complete charging solution for your
Lead Acid Auxiliary or House battery. The system incorporates 12V Solar, 240V AC and
12/24V DC inputs to provide a 12V charging output at a maximum 15A rating.
The system also includes a Remote Monitor which provides information such as current,
voltage and temperature as well as a simplified battery percentage and charge rate.
WARNINGS & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - This manual contains IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS for The
Manager15 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.
1. 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, BATTERIES MUST BE CHARGED IN A WELL
VENTILATED AREA. IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EACH TIME
YOU USE THE CHARGER.
2. 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 A SPECIAL CORD OR ASSEMBLY AVAILABLE FROM THE MANUFACTURER OR
SERVICE AGENT).
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. Batteries are capable of providing very large currents in the case of a short circuit. A fuse must be installed on
the positive wire outputs as close as practical to each battery. Failure to do so provides inadequate protection
against fire in the case of a short circuit. The installer is responsible for ensuring that the correct cable and fuse
sizes are used when installing this Battery Charger.
5. 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.
6. At hotter temperatures the current handling ability of a cable is reduced. Ensure cable diameter is increased
when routing in hot areas such as the engine bay.
