Over discharge risk. Ensure that the Turn OFF voltage is suitable for the specifications provided by the battery manufacturer. The SBI12-LLD is designed for controlling loads from an Auxiliary battery. Using the SBI12-LLD to isolate from a start battery will result in a state of charge too low to start the vehicle.
WARNING & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS The SBI12-LLD will achieve best results when proper battery maintenance is regularly performed. This includes but is not limited to checking water and specific gravity levels of the battery. Refer to the battery manufacturers manual for more details.

Isolator will restore power to the connected loads. RECOMMENDED FUSES & CABLING Suitably sized Wire and fuses for the connected loads should be used. REDARC recommend using MIDI fuses along with a quality fuse holder to match. The diagram below shows the construction of a MIDI fuse installation (cables not included).
Checking the Operation: The SBI12-LLD should now be operational. Once the auxiliary battery voltage rises to the ‘ON’ voltage the SBI12-LLD will activate, you will hear the solenoid click and see the LED illuminate. Discharge the auxiliary battery. The SBI12-LLD will disconnect load from the auxiliary battery once the voltage on the auxiliary battery drops to the ‘OFF’...
Battery • Ensure the auxiliary battery and loads Terminal Terminal are properly grounded to a common chassis earth point. Override • Ensure the SBI12-LLD ground wire is Wire making good contact with the chassis (BLUE) ground point. Ground Wire • When using fuses make sure that the...
FAULT INDICATION NOTE: The LED will be on when the SBI12-LLD is active (on). Should a fault occur, the SBI12-LLD is set to notify the operator of the fault. The LED will flash repeatedly with the following sequences: CODE 1...
Secondly, voltage drop due to cable length (ie the SBI12-LLD being mounted too far from Auxiliary battery) can cause the voltage at the battery terminal on the SBI12-LLD to be lower than at the auxiliary battery, which can also cause the unit to switch off. Voltage seen by the SBI12-LLD will now rise again until the SBI12-LLD switches back on.
