INSTALLATION – CONNECTION To make the electrical connections, the supplied battery cables will need to be made to the correct length using cable lugs and heatshrink. Cable lugs should be crimped or soldered to the stripped battery cable and then protected with the heatshrink. 1. Disconnect the negative battery cable (Earth) from the vehicle’s starting battery.
TESTING FOR NORMAL OPERATION 1. With the installation complete and the engine ‘Off’ only the red ‘Power’ LED should be on. 2. Start the vehicle’s engine. Within a few seconds the blue ‘Charging’ LED will turn on indicating that the starting battery is above 13.4V and the isolator will start charging the auxiliary battery. 3. If the isolator does not go into ‘Charging mode’ within a few seconds, increase the engine RPM to a fast idle. This will allow the alternator to generate more current. 4.
