Installation and Operating Manual
Battery Protector 100
Please read the Safety Regulations, mounting instructions and operating manual completely prior
to starting connection and start-up.
Fully automatic battery protection for intervention vehicles, high-quality campers and the marine field.
The battery protector 100 is connected between supply battery and consumer loads. It protects the battery from dangerous
deep discharge and the consumer loads from low voltage as well as from overvoltage.
Note: The values being indicated in parentheses ( ) apply to 24 V operation.
Functions:
•
The unit protects the battery from dangerous deep discharge.
•
Maximum admissible current 100 A; thus, it is also suitable for high-capacity consumer loads.
•
Suitable for any type and brand of lead batteries (Acid, Gel, Dryfit, Heavy Duty, Solar, fleece, AGM etc.). The automatic
switching threshold ensures an additional protection against latent consumer loads.
•
Suitable for lithium batteries LiFePO4.
•
Disconnection of the consumer loads for protection against dangerous overvoltage.
•
The disconnection can be cancelled manually by means of the "EMERGENCY-ON" function.
•
It can also be used as efficient, remote-controlled main-switch with battery control.
•
Full remote control with external single-pole remote switch is possible.
•
Preliminary alarm as soon as the switch-off level is reached.
•
Visual indication of the operating state.
•
Audible indication in case of preliminary alarm and disconnection (can be deactivated, optionally).
•
Output for external alarm indication (max. 0.2 A short circuit-proof).
•
Input for separate sensor line for unfalsified measurement of the battery voltage.
•
Immediate emergency shut-down in case of defective battery or extremely discharged battery.
•
Least own electricity consumption during operation (acc. to EN13976).
•
No own electricity consumption in case of disconnection by external remote switch.
Installation:
1.
Choose an installation place being clean and being protected from humidity and dust.
2.
The installation place of the unit should be chosen in such a way, that the cables of battery and consumer loads can
be as short as possible (losses) to ensure that the push-button "EMERGENCY" is easily accessible.
3.
Fasten the unit securely with screws at the casing flanges. The unit can be installed in any position.
4.
In case of great distance to the battery, we recommend to connect a separate sensor cable.
5.
The cable lugs of the connection cables for battery and load should be connected solidly to the terminal lugs
"Battery" and "Load" by means of the delivered screws M6. Recommended tightening torque approx. 6-7 Nm.
The enclosed insulation protection angle must be installed as short-circuit protection for this area.
6.
Observe to fasten the connection cables in such a way, that neither high tensible force, nor high force of pressure is
acting on the terminal lugs.
Switching Capacity 12 V - 24 V / 100 Amperes
No. 3078

Summary of Contents for Votronic Battery Protector 100
- Page 1 Fully automatic battery protection for intervention vehicles, high-quality campers and the marine field. The battery protector 100 is connected between supply battery and consumer loads. It protects the battery from dangerous deep discharge and the consumer loads from low voltage as well as from overvoltage.

Page 2: Connection Plan
Connection Plan: • Position the fuses for protection of the cables as close as possible to the battery, for instance Votronic power fuse holder. • The charging sources (mains supply charger, solar controller, generator, charging converter etc.) are connected directly to the battery to ensure battery charging, even with switched-off battery protector. - Page 3 If the unit had been switched-off by dropping below the disconnection voltage, this key can be used to restart important consumer loads in case of emergency. If the disconnection voltage will be reached again, the Battery Protector 100 will automatically be switched-off again with the corresponding delay and preliminary alarm.
- Page 4 --4-- Selection of the selector switches, the switching voltages and of the operating mode: Six (6) selector switches are located at the unit rear. Move the white levers vertically to the desired position: Switches 1 and 2: for optionally 3 fixed switching thresholds or automatic switching threshold (lead) Switch 3: Board Supply Voltage: 12 V ( X ) or 24 V ( - )
- Page 5 --5-- Function of the Automatic Switching Threshold: The intelligent automatic switching threshold is adapted to lead batteries (acid, gel, Dryfit, AGM, Heavy Duty, solar, fleece etc.) with their comparatively "smooth" voltage characteristic lines. It is not suitable for lithium LiFePO4 batteries with their discharge characteristic lines starting flat and dropping steeply after that.

• Lifetime of the battery: The battery protector 100 can extend the lifetime of the battery considerably. The following general rules must be observed: Keep batteries as cool as possible; choose an appropriate location for installation and observe the instructions of the manufacturer. -
Page 7: Safety Regulations
--7-- Safety Regulations: The Battery Protector 100 had been designed according to the valid safety regulations. Appropriate application is restricted to: • Deep discharge protection for batteries with the specified nominal voltage. • The indicated voltage rates, current rates and cable cross-sections of the cabling. -
