Brochure

The Manager30 is a complete battery management
system for charging auxiliary batteries used in
automotive applications by incorporating AC,
DC and solar inputs to achieve the best charge.
Developed with ease of installation in mind,
TheManager30 is compatible with all vehicles
and alternator systems including variable voltage
alternators.
Lithium profile - Lithium batteries have improved
storage capacity relative to size and weight. They
do however require specific charging conditions
in order to operate correctly and the battery itself
must have an in-built cell management system.
REDARC have designed a charging profile to
complement these in-built systems.
Green power priority - The Manager30 is
designed to charge an auxiliary battery from
multiple sources simultaneously. If 12 volt solar
power is available, solar power will be used before
topping up the output charging current from
another source mains (if available) or DC vehicle
power when on the move.
MPPT solar regulator - the built-in Maximum
Power Point Tracking (MPPT) solar regulator allows
The Manager30 to deliver the maximum amount of
power from your solar panels, even during low light
conditions.
Remote monitor - designed to show you auxiliary
battery information and charge status. You can
customise how your battery is charged and monitor
where the charge is coming from. A user-friendly,
graphical display monitor lets you know what’s
going on, keeping you in control at all times.
Multi-stage charging process
Two different multi-stage DC-DC charging profiles
fully charge auxiliary batteries.
Touring mode - designed for use when ‘on the
road’. It offers a 3-stage
*
charging profile consisting
of boost, absorption and float. Touring mode will
charge your auxiliary battery to its optimal level
whilst allowing you to run loads from the battery.

All the information you’ll ever need!
The Manager30 remote battery monitor display is designed to provide
useful information rather than simply displaying battery voltage and
current.
Based on your power usage, The Manager30 uses these figures to
calculate how much power you have remaining in hours and days.
The Manager30 can also graphically show where your power input is
coming from. Solar is the priority and will provide as much usable input
power as possible.
* Depending on the battery type some stages are omitted from the profile.
Voltages stated above are nominal and may vary slightly from that
specified. Contact REDARC if further information is required.
To protect the battery from damage the BMS1230S2 will only charge
the battery when the battery temperature is between 0°C and +60°C.

* Fuses not supplied. The size
of these fuses relate to the
total current draw of all loads
connected to the house battery
and should be rated slightly
higher than this.
** Essential loads are loads which
must be left on at all times (or
until the battery is flat). Non-
essential loads are those which
can be switched off when the
battery reaches
a particular low-
charge level, which
can be set in the
‘advanced settings’
menu.
