INSTALLATION GUIDE

2.4 

The Manager30 Wiring Connections 

REDARC recommends that this unit be installed by a suitably qualified person.

The AC 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).

Always wire the Output Connector before connecting it to the Main Unit. During 
connection of the unit, the Battery Output (positive) must be connected first, followed 
by the Ground (chassis) terminal. The chassis connection should be made away 
from the battery and fuel lines. DC Input (positive) should be connected last. Once all 
connections are wired to the Output Connector, plug the connector into the Main Unit.
When disconnecting remove the Output Connector from the Main Unit first. The DC 
Input should be disconnected next, followed by the Ground (chassis) connection, 
then the Battery Output connection.

2.4.1  Load Disconnect Feature

The Load Disconnect wire is a ground switch to activate a relay for disconnection of any 
loads running from the house battery. The relay must be 12V with a maximum coil current 
of 1A and resistor or diode suppression is recommended. The Load Disconnect feature 
must be activated in the User Menu as explained in Section 3.5 of this manual.

2.4.2  Ignition Trigger Feature

The Ignition Trigger wire is used to turn the DC charging source on with ignition. In most 
circumstances this wire does not need to be connected. This feature is designed to allow 
vehicle with Variable Voltage alternators to trigger the DC Input. Figure 2.4.2 shows how 
to wire the Ignition Trigger wire. 
The Ignition Trigger feature must be activated in the User Menu as explained in Section 
3.5 of this manual.
