Battery Guard 200 Amp

Flat batteries are still the No 1 cause of vehicle downtime across all automotive sectors. Electrical specifications on specialist vehicles continue to increase. installing a system that provides a guarantee of starting is a sensible and financially viable approach to this perennial problem. The 200A version of the Battery Guard enables the vehicle manufacturer the ability to isolate the full starting current of the vehicle. VCA approved to 95/54 EC - VIDG 5 Approval Key Features •Guarantees starting power •Manual Battery Isolator •Automatic Low Voltage Battery Isolator •Optional Digital Speech Warning "warning low battery" •Approved by Paccar Corporation •Fully waterproof ECU •Delphi Packard IP67 waterproof connections ignition/alternator protection •System test on start The 200 Amp Battery Guard has been designed specifically for vehicle applications where isolation of the full starting current is a requirement. The 200 Amp relay operates on the same principles as Intellitec’s 100 amp version, which has been used by the industry for over 10 years. These relays are covered by Patent No 4,682,289. The 200 Amp version is designed to be used on larger vehicles, where the continuous current draw can be larger than 100 amps and the 200 Amp version can handle the heavier starter currents of larger diesel engines. Battery Guard constantly monitors available battery power when the engine is not running. If the battery voltage falls below 24.1v (12.1v) a voltage sensitive timer in the ECU is triggered. If the available battery voltage remains below 24.1 uniformly for two minutes, the Battery Guard ECU provides an output that can drive a buzzer or our own speech module that will say “driver warning low battery, please start your engine”. At this stage the dash mounted reset switch will also be flashing. If the operator ignores these warnings and the voltage remains below 24.1v (12.1v) uniformly for a full minutes, the batteries will be automatically isolated, to guarantee starting power. At this stage there will be no power or ignition, the vehicle operator must press the flashing reset switch and start his engine. Battery Guard also offers the vehicle operator the ability to manually isolate the batteries via the Battery Guard reset switch. Simply press and hold the switch for three seconds and the batteries will be isolated. PART No's. Part No K1 - Battery Guard 12v 200A Part No K4 - Battery Guard 24v 200A The Potential Costs Involved In a Flat Battery 1. Damage to batteries - 1 deep cycle can reduce the battery’s life by as much as 50% 2. Potential damage to voltage sensitive components from a ”jump start”, many vehicle manufacturers now state ”do not jump start”!!!! 3. Stress and strain on alternator and starter motor; tail lift pumps with low voltage operation 4. Driver and vehicle downtime - how much per hour? 5. Late deliveries to customer - possible lost accounts? 6. Cost of jump start? Our customers tell us the Battery Guard 2000 has proven to pay for itself with just one operation. Some Common Questions and Answers Q. Can the Battery Guard isolate while the vehicle is moving? A. No, the orange cable in the supplied loom is connected to an ignition or alternator source. Voltage sensing is inhibited when the engine is running. Q. Once isolated does the relay draw current? A. No, the Battery Guard uses a patented latching relay and only uses power to switch on and off for 0.2 seconds. Q. How long to install? A. This depends on vehicle to vehicle, as a rule of thumb allow two hours for your labour quote.
