How to configure the Manager Battery Settings on your RedVision system

This guide will walk you through setting up the battery settings for you Manager 30 & Manager Alpha system. This ensures your charger will be setup with the correct settings for best charging performance and accuracy.

This information is applicable to the following RedVision Systems:

  • The Manager30 with RedVision Display (BMS1230S3R / BMS12030S3R-NA)
  • Integrated Power System (ICMS-010)
  • Manager Alpha50 (BMS12050-AU)
  • Manager Alpha75 (BMS12075-AU / BMS12075-NA)
  • Manager Alpha100 (BMS12100-AU / BMS12100-NA)

Please note: If you are adding (or replacing) a Manager30 or Manager Alpha to an already configured system, you will need to Read Device and connect to your system before completing the instructions below. 

Under the Manager heading, tap Charger Unit.

Set the DC Input Trigger. The DC Input Trigger sets the voltage at which the Manager will begin to charge your auxiliary battery from the vehicle’s charging system/start battery (Refer to vehicle user manual or an authorised installer to determine your alternator type).

Below defines each DC Input Trigger setting:

Auto: Automatically detects if the start battery is 12V or 24V and operates within the 12 / 24V parameters outlined in the user manual.

12V: Designed for a 12V vehicle system. The Manager will begin charging from the start battery input when the input reaches 12.9V for standard alternators or 12.0V for other alternators (where the vehicle ignition cable is used). The Manager will stop charging from the start battery input when the input drops below 12.7V for standard alternators or 11.9V for other alternators.

24V: Designed for a 24V vehicle system. The Manager will begin charging from the start battery input when the input reaches 25.8V for standard alternators or 24.0V for other alternators (where the vehicle ignition cable is used). The Manager will stop charging from the start battery input when the input drops below 25.4V for standard alternators or 23.8V for other alternators.

Ignition: Designed for non-standard systems between 9V and 32V. The Manager will charge from the start battery input whenever the vehicle ignition cable is powered and the input voltage is above 9V.

Always On: Designed for use with systems utilising a dual battery isolator or other non-standard systems between 9V and 32V. The Manager will charge from the start battery input whenever the input voltage is above 9V.

Note: Start Battery Charge and Recovery Mode are only available for 12V vehicle batteries and require the DC Input Trigger to be set to either ‘Auto’ or ‘12V’ mode.

MANAGER ALPHA ONLY

Set DC Input Current Limit.

This setting allows the user to reduce the load that the Manager puts on the alternator, allowing the alternator to supply vehicle loads as a priority and not demand more than the alternator can supply. REDARC recommends consulting with a qualified technician to ensure your vehicle’s alternator is not overloaded, as a guide it is best not to exceed 50% of the alternator’s total capacity. This capacity will vary with different make and model vehicles.

Enable or disable the Start Battery Charge Mode.

This enables the Manager Alpha to charge your start battery after your auxiliary batteries are full, this will only occur if the DC Input Trigger is set to Auto or 12V. It isn’t compatible when set to Always On, 24V or Ignition.

Set Fan Night Mode.

This allows the Manager Alpha charger to run without operating the internal cooling fan which results in eliminating the fan noise between the Start and End time selection under the Fan Night Mode Setting. Please note, with this mode enabled the charger may derate the charge output based on the unit temperature.

Tap Save. 

Tap Battery Sensor.

Set the Battery Type and Battery Size (refer to battery manufacturer specifications).

Set Max Charge Current (refer to battery manufacturer specifications, system wiring size and charger output).

Set the Low Soc Alarm (state of charge) and Low Voltage Alarms (refer to battery manufacturer specifications).
