- Page 2 USER MANUAL APPLICATION The CARTEK Battery Isolator X-Club is specifically designed for race and rally cars running production based engines that are stock or mild tune, up to 3L capacity and maximum 6 cylinders. Typical examples: Mazda MX-5, Honda Civic Type R, Renault Clio, Ford Focus ST, VW Golf GTI, BMW 1,2,3 series, Formula Ford, bike-engined formula cars….
- Page 3 All CARTEK Battery Isolators also shut down automatically if a fault is detected such as short-circuit, over-current, over- temperature or broken cable connections. If this happens then the LED on the Battery Isolator unit, and the CARTEK Internal Switch, will display a flash pattern to indicate the cause of the fault. See chapter on LED Status.
- Page 4 Red and Black wires are connected correctly as it is a polarised switch (i.e. Red-to-Red, Black-to-Black). NOTE: Do not apply any voltage to the CARTEK Internal Switch before installing. It is fitted with a low voltage LED and testing it can easily cause permanent damage to the switch.
- Page 5 BATTERY ISOLATOR X-Club USER MANUAL ENGINE STOP CONNECTION For all cars equipped with alternators the Engine Stop function must be fully implemented. This is because when the engine is running the alternator becomes the main source of electrical power therefore disconnecting the battery will not stop the engine from running.
- Page 6 BATTERY ISOLATOR X-Club USER MANUAL BATTERY CONNECTIONS 1. Make the Battery Positive connection (Brown wire). This STARTER must be a permanent connection directly to Battery Positive and not switched power from an Ignition Switch. ALTERNATOR CAR BATTERY 2. Make the Battery Negative connection (M6 terminal).
- Page 7 Maximum Battery current exceeded. This fault is likely to only occur when cranking the engine. This is an indication that the current consumption of the starter motor has exceeded the maximum of the X-Club Battery Isolator. Engine Stop function not operating.
- Page 8 ISSUE: There is Voltage when the Battery Isolator is switched OFF When making any voltage measurements on a car that is fitted with a Cartek Battery Isolator, it is important that the negative (Black) lead of the voltmeter is always attached to the chassis and not to the negative side of the car battery.
