WARNING & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - This manual contains IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS for the
Redarc Remote Monitor for Redarc Solar Regulators.
DO NOT OPERATE THE SOLAR REGULATOR UNLESS YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THIS
MANUAL AND THE SYSTEM IS SETUP AS PER THESE INSTRUCTIONS. REDARC RECOMMENDS THAT
ANY REGULATOR/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 REGULATOR.
1. Solar Regulators 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 Solar Regulator.
2. Do NOT use the Solar Regulator to charge non-rechargeable batteries. Doing so may result in harm to
the user and/or damage to the regulator and/or solar blanket. Only use the Solar Regulator for charging
standard lead acid, calcium content, Gel & AGM type 12V batteries.
3. Check the manufacturer’s data for your battery and ensure that the ‘Absorption’ voltage of the
profile selected does not exceed the manufacturer’s recommended maximum charging voltage. If
the ‘Absorption’ voltage for your battery type is too high, please select another charging profile. Do
not change the original settings without confirming the battery manufacturer’s recommendations or
consulting the battery manufacturer.
4. The Solar Regulator is not intended to supply power to a low voltage electrical system other than to
charge a battery.
5. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine. This may cause the battery to
explode.
6. The remote monitor is not waterproof or designed for installation under bonnet or outdoors. Ensure the
monitor is installed in a cool and dry environment.
7. PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
To assist with the safe operation and use of the Solar Regulator:
a) Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near a
battery.
