Page 13: Installation - Mounting
INSTALLATION — MOUNTING GENERAL MOUNTING REQUIREMENTS NOTICE: DO NOT install the Main Unit, Battery Monitor or Display in the engine bay. These parts are not rated to engine bay environment conditions. The Main Unit, Battery Monitor and Display are only rated for indoor installations in any liveable areas of the vehicle or caravan/camper trailers. -
Page 14: Mounting The Main Unit
ƒ MOUNTING HARDWARE When mounting the Main Unit, all four Mounting Points must be used. REDARC recommends using four M6 (7/32") bolts/screws with washers. Ensure there is clearance‑fit through the mounting surface and the Mounting Points on the Main Unit. -
Page 15: Mounting The Battery Monitor
MOUNTING HARDWARE When mounting the Battery Monitor, both Mounting Points must be used. REDARC recommend using two M6 (1/4") to M4 (#8) fasteners with washers. Ensure there is clearance‑fit through the mounting surface and the Mounting Points on the Battery Monitor. -
Page 16: Mounting The Display
MOUNTING THE DISPLAY CAUTION: Ensure that the Display is not mounted in vehicle head‑impact zones. Doing so may result in injury to the driver and/or passenger in the event of an accident. Ensure the Display is not mounted where it may distract the driver of the vehicle. Distracting the driver may result in an accident. -
Page 17: Installation - Wiring
CAUTION: ƒ Damage to cabling can cause failure of the Manager30 and vehicle electrical systems. Ensure cabling is clear of sharp edges or moving parts, and have enough slack to allow for flexing. REDARC recommend using cable ties and conduit or split tubing to manage cabling. -
Page 18: Load Disconnect (Optional)
The Load Disconnect (optional) controls the power from your auxiliary battery to the non‑essential loads. This enables the Manager30 to automatically protect the auxiliary battery from excessive discharge and removes the need for the user to monitor. It is an active low pull down meaning a ground is provided when non essential loads are to be powered and high resistance otherwise The connected hardware should be 12 V, with a maximum coil current of 1 A, with a resistor or diode suppression. -

ƒ When finished using AC mains, disconnect the power. ƒ Do not use the Manager30 AC input if the cord is damaged. The 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. -
Page 27: Strain-Relief And Cable Management
STRAIN-RELIEF AND CABLE MANAGEMENT CAUTION: Wiring must be installed in protected areas away from heat sources, sharp objects and parts of the vehicle that move during operation or maintenance. Additional protection such as conduit may be required, especially if routing cables through the engine bay or exposed locations. - Page 28 BATTERY MONITOR CABLE MANAGEMENT IMPORTANT: Ensure lugs are fastened firmly against the top face of the terminal. Loose lugs will have a bad electrical connection, causing inaccurate readings from the Battery Monitor, and can result in damage to the wiring and Battery Monitor.

When the battery is first connected, the system will start a calibration process to determine the State of Charge (SoC) of the battery. This will continue until the battery is fully charged. REDARC recommends connecting the Main Unit to AC Mains to fully charge the auxiliary battery before applying heavy loads. -
Page 30: System Settings Screen
— this is achievable by using AC Mains or solar. Alternatively, disconnect all loads from your auxiliary battery and check on your system periodically. NOTE: If the Manager30 is set to Storage Mode, it will automatically switch to Touring Mode once it senses an increase in input voltage from the start battery input. -
