1 INTRODUCTION
IMPORTANT
When The Manager30 is set to ‘Storage’ mode and no valid charging sources are
connected, it will enter a ‘Sleep’ mode 30 seconds after the last user interaction.
The sleep mode is designed to limit the amount of current drawn from the output
battery by the system whilst in Storage mode and does this by switching the
screen and all non-essential functions off. The Manager30 will ‘wake-up’ from
its Sleep mode if a button is pushed or if any valid input source is sensed, though
this may take 30-60 seconds to occur after the source is connected.

Maximum Charge Current Setting
The Manager30 allows the user to set the maximum charge current for their
battery, making it suitable for charging batteries as small as 40Ah in capacity.
When the charge current is set below the maximum 30Amps, the current supplied
to charge the battery is restricted to the user setting. Any excess current is used
to power loads running from the battery under charge.
If no loads are running from the battery, total current from The Manager30 will be
restricted to the level set by the user.
1.7
Green Power Priority
The Manager30 is designed to charge from multiple sources simultaneously
to charge the auxiliary/house battery. If the Solar power input is available the
maximum available solar power will be used before topping up the output
charging current from another source if available (e.g. mains). Priority is given to
Solar then to AC Mains power, then to DC Vehicle power.
