Smart Charger Programmable Relay

I checked the docs and there isn't much about the Programmable Relay on the Phoenix IP43 Smart Charger. There are wiring instructions, but nothing about how to configure it. Here's what I'm hoping I can do:

I have a temperature controlled fan setup that I would like to power on, via the relay, only when the Smart Charger is charging. Will this be possible? The fan setup needs 12v DC and won't draw more than 1 amp.

Thanks for the help. This did end up working great with voltage disabled for high and low and the fan wired into the NO circuit it switches on the fan when the charger has power, and off when it doesn't.

Use the VictronConnect app demo library to check the possibilities.

Thank you! That did answer a few questions. I think for my use case I'd set the Relay Mode to "Charging" but without a min or max voltage as I'd want the relay always closed when the Charger is charging, regardless of the voltage.

Device arrives later this week. I'll post back with what I learn
