This system uses a heavy duty version of a simple make and break relay the coil of which is energised by a signal that is only 12v when the engine is running usually the charge signal wire from the alternator.
Durite split charge relay diagram.
To to this remove the back plastic cover and unscrew the nuts.
Have a look at the diagram above to see the basic wiring diagram of your voltage sensed split charge kit.
Durite 12v 140a voltage sensitive relay with red led indicator relay makes at 13 3v and breaks at 12 8v ce approved allows split charging of second battery.
Durite 140amp 12 volt split charge vsr relay 12v voltage sensitive relay 140a 12 volt 140 amp with red led indicator.
Allows split charging of second battery bank without discharging the primary start battery.
Durite s wide range of relays and flasher units cover 12v and 24v applications.
A 12 volt relay is the same type of relay that you would find in many 12 volt electrical systems.
Connect the cables to the relay.
In addition there are 9 available programmes allowing the user to set the charging protection voltages to suit their requirements.
Place the leads and screw the nuts back in.
Connect the cable from the two batteries to the split charge relay.
How does a 12 volt relay work.
I ve also briefly explained how it works.
I ve done a step by step on how to fit the split.
140a relay makes at 13 3 volts and breaks at 12 65 volts.
Instillation guide for a 12v voltage sense split charge relay system thank you for purchasing this kit from simply split charge.
The durite smart relay has been designed to be used with the latest range of vehicles fitted with smart alternators and regenerative braking systems.
Plus enjoy more flexibility with our customisable made to order programmable timer relays.
I have left boxes on the diagram on the left to help you with your measurements.
