Battery Guard 2000 consists of
three major components. Intellitec's
patented latching relay (which requires no power to maintain either
open or closed positions). The waterproof module, and the dash mounted,
LED, reset switch. The relay and potted module are mounted near the
battery, to disconnect it from the vehicle's electrical system. The
reset switch is mounted in a convenient location on the dash. The
entire system comes equipped with an interconnecting harness to
simplify the installation.
Low
Voltage Sensing
Battery Guard senses the battery voltage to determine the amount of
charge in the battery. When the voltage is less than 12.0 volts for
four minutes, the battery is then automatically disconnected.
Dash
Mounted Reset Switch
When the battery has been disconnected, it can be conveniently
reconnected by pressing the Battery Guard Reset Switch. This switch is
available in push-button or rocker switch styles.
Disconnect
Indicator
An LED indicator included in the reset switch will blink to indicate
the battery has been disconnected.
Automatic
Re-Connect
When the battery voltage rises above 13.3 volts, as with a "jump start"
or connection to a charger, the battery is automatically reconnected.
Ignition
Override
When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the unit will not
disconnect the battery, regardless of the voltage level.
System Test
When the ignition is in the OFF position, press the dash mounted Reset
Switch for three seconds, this will disconnect the battery, testing the
disconnect system function.
LED Test
When the ignition is in the ON postion, the LED in the Reset Switch
will illuminate for two seconds to indicate the system is operational.
