System Design:

THE BATTERY KILLERS – This system protects batteries from DEEP DISCHARGING, caused by OVERUSE OF ACCESSORIES or PARASITIC DRAIN when engine is stopped.

NO MORE JUMP STARTS – At low voltage an audio alarm sounds with flashing indicator light for 11 seconds followed by all-circuit switch-off.

With ignition ON, power is supplied direct to all circuits with no possible switch OFF while driving.  Should charge circuit fail with engine running, at low voltage the alarm sounds with flashing light to notify the driver but no circuit switch off can occur.

System design simplicity results in TOTAL protection, ease of installation, at low cost with ZERO maintenance and unequaled dependability.

Features:

This product utilizes the most advanced technology to address the problems experienced from today’s needs to meet driver comfort.  This system resolves the technology demands applied to the electrical system by improving existing capacity without impacting capital investment.

On each engine start-up the system automatically resets and self-tests, indicated by audio alarm and flashing light for 3 seconds.

NOTE: A manual reset button / light indicator with no automatic reset is available on request.

Components:

System consists of four components and a connecting harness:

1. ECM - Circuit design is processor controlled and temperature stable, protected for over-voltage, reverse polarity and load dump plus RF filtering. Module can operate with internal or externally grounded relays. The set point is adjustable with an LED for indicating the switch point, located on the connector end.

2. Switching Relay - Continuous duty relays of 100 or 200 amp capability are available to meet requirements. Existing relays may also be used.

3. Low Battery Light Indicator - A single component with bright LED for low battery indication.

4. Oil Pressure Switch - An engine oil pressure switch is included for safety to assure that circuit switch-off with engine running can not occur.

5. System Harness - Harness was designed to facilitate installation using module connector, supplied conduit, hardware and securing ties.

Installation Notes:

The electronic control module (ECM) is lightweight and slightly larger than a cigarette pack. Mounts as is convenient using supplied double-sided tape or with hardware into mounting holes in module, under the instrument panel, connector pointing down. Integral connector mates with harness.  The Oil Pressure Switch mounts in any convenient engine oil pressure port. Fitting P/N 063-042 is available that connects inline on back of mechanical oil pressure gauge  The System Wire Harness includes connector that mates with module and color coded wire 6 ft. in length that can be trimmed to match any application requirements. Included is wire conduit, required hardware and securing ties to complete the installation. Special harnesses available on request.

Calibration / Tester:

A calibration / tester combination, P/N 030-705, is available for module testing or adjusting by 1/10th of a volt. It quickly interconnects between module and harness using vehicle voltage.
