1. Over discharge risk. Ensure that the Turn OFF voltage is suitable for the specications provided by the battery manufacturer. 2. The SBI12-BLD is designed for controlling loads from an Auxiliary battery. Using the SBI12-BLD to isolate from a start battery will result in a state of charge too low to start the vehicle.
WARNING & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 3. The SBI12-BLD will achieve best results when proper battery maintenance is regularly performed. This includes but is not limited to checking water and specic gravity levels of the battery. Refer to the battery manufacturers manual for more details.

(earth when loads should be on, no earth when loads should be off), and there is additional voltage thresholds monitored by the SBI12-BLD to ensure reliable solenoid engagement. The Isolator monitors the auxiliary battery and when this drops below the Turn OFF voltage, the solenoid will open, disconnecting the load.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 1. Mount the SBI12-BLD securely in a convenient location near the auxiliary battery bank. Do not mount in direct engine heat. 2. Install in the order described below: • Ground Connection. Connect the SBI12-BLD ground terminal to the BMS Load Disconnect terminal.
• Ensure the loads are properly grounded to a Battery Terminal Terminal common chassis earth point. • Ensure the SBI12-BLD ground wire is wired to the load Disconnect terminal of the BMS. LED Output Wire • When using fuses make sure that the fuse (BLUE) makes a good low resistance connection.
FAULT INDICATION NOTE: The LED will be on when the SBI12-BLD is active (on). Should a fault occur, the SBI12-BLD is set to notify the operator of the fault. The LED will ash repeatedly with the following sequences: CODE 1...
Answer: This can occur for one of two reasons. Firstly, switching an excessively large load which would drop the battery to below its lower voltage limit and causing the SBI12-BLD to turn off. After turning off the load, the battery would recover in voltage; If the battery voltage climbs higher than the turn on threshold, the SBI12-BLD would turn the loads back on.
