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. Once the Isolator is in ‘Charging mode,’ turn the engine ‘Off’, then switch the headlights and other
accessories ‘On’. The isolator will now detect that the batteries are being used. 60 seconds after the
voltage falls below 12.8V, the blue ‘Charging’ LED will turn off and the isolator will disconnect the
two batteries from each other.
OPERATION
AUTOMATIC
Once the Battery Isolator has been correctly installed and tested it will function automatically to
charge the auxiliary battery.
MANUAL OVERRIDE
If the starting battery is flat and the auxiliary battery is charged, the battery isolator can be used to
connect both batteries to allow jumpstarting.
1. Press the ‘Override/Reset’ button on the top of the isolator, the green ‘Override/Reset’ LED will
illuminate.
2. Crank the engine, once the engine has started the unit will automatically cancel the override
function and return to the automatic charging function.
3. If you wish to stop the override function manually press the ‘Override/Reset’ button.
Note: The Manual Override can only be used if the starting battery has at least 6V (flat battery).
If the battery is below 6V (deeply discharged) the manual override will not operate.
