- Page 18 Battery Charger. The Manager30 is capable of drawing up to 50 A from the Vehicle Battery (which may be several feet/ meters from its installation location) and is limited to 30 A output to the House Battery. The installer needs to ensure the appropriate cable is used to connect the positive and negative connections of The Manager30 to both the Vehicle Battery and the House Battery.
- Page 19 REDARC recommends the installer use cabling and connections between 8B&S and 6B&S automotive. REDARC recommends that the output wire be of the size outlined in Figure 2.3.2.1. For longer runs, using 10 mm² is recommended, however this will lower efficiency by up to 3% (the recommended maximum length is 16'5"...
- Page 20 The AC/Shore Power connection must be connected to an earthed socket outlet. Do not use The Manager30 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).
