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.
   Note: To prevent the loss of vehicle electronic memories, radio presets & security codes, it is recommended that an "Electrical System Memory Protector" be used.
2. Connect a length of the supplied red cable from the 'MAIN' (+) terminal on the isolator to the positive battery terminal on the starting (main).
3. Connect a length of the supplied red cable from the 'AUX' (+) terminal on the isolator to the positive battery terminal of the auxiliary battery. The connection at the Auxiliary battery should be fused using a Projecta 'Fused' battery terminal (P/No.BT950-P1) or a 150 Amp fuse or circuit breaker mounted inline. If using the BT950-P (Fused distribution terminal) the connection from the battery isolator should be made to main (large) fuse stud.
   Do not over-tighten the terminal studs on the electronic isolator.
4. Connect the isolator's 'Earth' wire (small black wire with ring terminal) to a suitable chassis bolt or screw, ensure the ring terminal will make a good electrical connection by removing any paint.
5. Reconnect the starting (main) battery's negative cable (Earth), the isolator should now flash the red 'power' LED.
6. Connect a length of the supplied black cable from the vehicle's chassis or engine block to the negative terminal of the auxiliary battery as a ground cable (Earth), the isolator should now show a solid red 'power' LED.
7. Connect all of the auxiliary loads (phone, lights, stereo, refrigerator, etc.) to the positive battery terminal of the auxiliary battery, use appropriate circuit protection fuses, if using the Projecta BT950-P1 terminal this includes 2 x 30A fused accessory circuits.

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.

ISOLATOR STATUS	LED OPERATION	AUX BATTERY	OPERATING CONDITIONS
NORMAL AUTOMATIC OPERATION
Standby			Both batteries are above 7.5V indicating correct connection and the isolator is monitoring the starting battery.
Start Charging			When the starting battery is above 13.4V indicating that the engine is running & the auxiliary battery is above 3V (i.e. properly connected) the isolator starts charging the auxiliary battery.
Stop Charging			When the starting battery drops below 12.8V for more than one minute indicating that the engine is turned off, the isolator will disconnect the auxiliary battery and return to standby mode.Note: If the engine is turned off and the batteries are not running any appliances, it may take a few hours for the battery voltage to drop below 12.8V. This is normal and will not cause any problems to the operation or charging of your dual battery system.
OVERRIDE OPERATION
Start Override			Press the 'override/reset' button to manually connect the auxiliary battery to the starting battery. Both batteries must be above 7V for this mode to operate.
Stop Override			The override mode can be stopped manually by pressing the push button at any time. The override will also automatically stop after 3 minutes or when the unit detects that the starting battery is above 13.4V indicating that the engine has started.
FAULT
Auxiliary Battery Fault			The power LED will flash indicating that the Aux battery is either:1. Deeply discharged (below 3V)2. Reverse connected3. Not connected or there is a wiring fault
Charging Over-current			Excessive current flowing while in charging mode.Over-current can be reset by pressing the 'Override/reset' button or will automatically reset when the starting battery is below 12.8V indicating that the engine has stopped.
Override Over-current			Excessive current flowing while in override mode.Over-current can be reset by pressing the 'Override/reset' button or will automatically reset when the starting battery is above 13.4V indicating that the engine has started.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q. Is the Battery Isolator waterproof?

A. Projecta battery isolators are designed to be dust and shower proof. Normal use including river crossings and light engine washing will not pose any problem. Direct high pressure washing of the battery isolator or if the vehicle is submerged for a period of the time may cause some water damage and this will not be covered under warranty.

Q. Why does the positive cable from the Isolator to the Auxiliary battery need to be fused?

A. 12V batteries can produce large amounts of power and are capable of melting cable insulation in the case of a short circuit. Since a dual battery system contains two batteries connected together, the cabling needs to be protected for short circuit at each battery. The battery isolator has inbuilt over-current protection which will protect the cable from the starting battery.

To protect the cable from the auxiliary battery an inline fuse or fused battery terminal is needed.

Q. Is the battery Isolator safe to use with modern 'electronic' vehicles?

A. The Projecta battery isolators have been designed to work with all vehicles, especially new vehicles with onboard computers. In fact the isolator itself has a small microprocessor that intelligently controls the charging. The isolator has in-built surge suppression and over-current protection for extra safety.

Q. Can I use a charger to recharge my battery's with a Dual Battery System?

A. You can charge the auxiliary battery with a battery charger without effecting the battery isolator at any time. When charging the starting battery the isolator will automatically connect the auxiliary battery when the starting battery reaches 13.4V (about 75% charged) and will then be charged also. This is not an ideal way to fully charge the batteries. It is recommended that when charging the starting battery the Auxiliary battery is disconnected or the isolator is disabled.

Q. Can I turn the isolator off? (disable)

A. Since the Isolator is fully automatic there is no way to turn the unit off. If you need to disable the dual battery system, this can be achieved by disconnecting the auxiliary battery or disconnecting the small black earth wire from isolator to the chassis. If you need to do this regularly you can place a switch inline with the earth wire which can be then used to turn disable the isolator.
