Intellitec Potted Battery Isolator Relay Delay (Gas) 00-00956-000

Intellitec’s Potted Bi-Directional Isolator Relay Delay-Gas offers a new approach to charging
batteries in an RV application.

How Does It Work?

The Potted Bi-Directional Isolator Relay Delay constantly senses the voltage on the coach and chassis batteries. If either voltage is above 13.1 volts, which indicates the batteries are being charged, the control module closes the isolator relay. This parallels the batteries, charging them both.

If the ignition is off and the coach battery voltage falls below 12.6 volts for approximately 30 seconds, the isolator relay will open to prevent the coach loads from discharging the chassis battery. When the voltage goes back above 13.1 volts for approximately 1 minute, the isolator relay will close again allowing the chassis and coach batteries to charge.

If the ignition is on, (engine running), and the voltage falls below 12.0 volts for approximately 1 minute, the isolator relay will open to prevent the coach loads form discharging the chassis battery and When the voltage goes back above 13.1 volts, for 30 seconds, the relay will close again. off on, Potted Bi-Directional Isolator Relay Delay off TM to insure the alternator’s full output is available for important chassis functions.

After the isolator relay has been closed, the system continues to sense the voltage. If the ignition switch is off and the coach battery voltage drops below 12.6 volts for approximately 30 seconds, which might occur when the converter is heavily loaded, the isolator relay is opened to prevent the chassis battery from being discharged by the coach loads. When the voltage goes above 13.1 volts again for approximately 1 minute, the isolator relay closes again.

The Potted Bi-Directional Isolator Relay Delay is housed in a plastic enclosure for mounting in an engine compartment. The module operates in combination with a conventional continuous duty solenoid to connect the two batteries together under the proper conditions. This allows the batteries to stay connected together which helps charge a heavily discharged coach more quickly with the varying output of the alternator. If neither battery is being charged, the batteries are fully isolated. The controller also enses heavy loads on either battery to prevent the wrong battery from being inadvertently discharged.
