PowerCore 30
b a t t e r y m a n a g e m e n t s y s t e m
The PowerCore30 is a feature packed total battery management and automation
system developed specifically for 4wd vehicles, RV's and campers. With powerful,
compact all in one features, the system will deliver a full continuous 30 Amps of
charging power from solar panels, vehicle DC to DC input and AC power. It will
manage dual battery systems, disconnect loads when batteries are low, and
maintain house batteries during storage. View and control the PowerCore30 from
it's remote touch screen control panel, or download the PowerCore30 app and
connect your smart phone.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS
Important information relating to installation and safety are contained in these instructions.
Ensure that you have read and understand the instructions before installing and operating the
PowerCORE 30 battery management system.
Installation of the PowerCORE 30 should be carried out by a suitably qualified person.
Always ensure that the PowerCORE 30 is installed and operated in a suitably ventilated location.
A risk of explosion can occur due to dangerous gases being generated by batteries during
normal operation.
A risk of fire can occur if insufficient cabling size and fusing is installed. This is the responsibility
of the installer to ensure sufficient cabling size and fusing is installed.
Never attempt to charge batteries that are NON RECHARGEABLE.
Ensure that the batteries being charged, are located in a well ventilated area.
When connecting to mains supply, ensure that national wiring rules for your location or
jurisdiction are followed.

MOUNTING
It is very important to install the PowerCORE30 into a dry, well ventilated area to aid efficient
cooling. It is best to create the lowest possible ambient air temperature in the installation
location. Installing the PowerCORE30 close to outside walls in tight enclosed cabinets will allow
heat absorbed from outer walls to raise the temperature considerably. Continuous raised
ambient temperature will de-rate the PowerCORE30 charging ability, and cause the charger to
rest regularly. Choosing the correct location will aid charging, and prolong the life of the
PowerCORE30 . If your mounting location is tight in an enclosed compartment, ambient air
temperature will rise very quickly if ventilation is insufficient. It is recommended that a
ventilation 60mm hole be located under the PowerCORE 30 at the fan ventilation location to
allow heat to be directed out of the compartment.
CRITICAL NOTE : Do not install the PowerCORE30 in an area where fuel fumes or flammable
gas may be present. Serious injury or death could occur form fuel vapor explosion.
MOUNTING SURFACE
The mounting surface should be a solid surface that can hold the weight of the PowerCORE30
under extreme conditions of vibration. Ensure PowerCORE 30 is secured with appropriate size
screws.
The PowerCORE30 relies on under surface ventilation to allow heat to escape. The base of the
PowerCORE30, when mounted, will be 15mm from the mounting surface. This is sufficient space
for the cooling fan to extract heat from the PowerCORE30. It is critical not to obstruct the fan
area with carpet, felt or similar surfaces that may intrude on the 15mm distance. It is also
important to note, air extracted from the PowerCORE30, at times is hot air. Check the mounting
surface temperature during the first full charging cycles to ensure the mounting surface will
with stand the raised temperatures during Bulk charging.

AUTOMATION SWITCHING
The PowerCORE 30 has 8 x internally auto resetting fused automation outputs that can switch
DC loads .
Maximum output of all outputs combined = 80amps
Output 1 = Fused output 12A with dimming
Output 2 = Fused output 10A
Output 3 = Fused output 10A
Output 4A = Fused output 8A
Output 4B = Fused output 8A
Output 4C = Fused output 8A
Output 4D = Fused output 8A
Output 4E = Fused output 8A
Each output is internally fused with resettable thermal fuses. No external fusing is required.
Output 4 has 5 x individually fused outputs. This output is controlled by 1 x button ( on screen )
which will turn ON, and OFF together as one bank.
Connect 12v load wires to the "12V Output" terminals
Outputs on the PowerCORE30 built in automation connector, are pluggable, removable screw
terminal connectors.

The Setup password is : 6640 (ENTER)
MAIN SETUP PAGE
The main setup page is the entry point for setup of other functions - listed below. The main
setup page will allow the removal of functionality from the main operating screens. The "HIDE"
will remove the Expansion module buttons, Powercore buttons, battery monitor information or
tanks monitoring information in any combination.
If an expansion module is present on the systems network, then this option should be enabled.
Pressing the "HIDE" button will disable the EXPANSION Module on the system.
Pressing the "SHOW" button will enable the EXPANSION Module on the system.
