POWER-GATE
isolates the MAIN battery from the AUXILIARY battery,
with the ability to disable the isolation feature with
a remote switch, thus combining the batteries (or loads)
if needed. |

The
Rectifier/Combiner includes the ability to remotely
combine the batteries (or loads) as needed. Generally
speaking, it is prudent to isolate the MAIN battery
thus insuring a fully charged battery is available
for starting. However, in a critical situation, one
may find it necessary to join both batteries together
(example- lengthy winch pull exhausts AUXILLARY battery,
or self jump-starting). The Isolator/Combiner is fitted
with a Molex wire harness, eight feet in length, and
includes a toggle switch. When switched to +8 to 24VDC:
A
POWER-GATE feature you'll
not find on any other battery isolation
device is an optional current
limitation circuit. In the event that current
passing through the POWER-GATE exceeds the device's
rating, the current limitation feature kicks in and
limits current. This prevents the alternator from exceeding
its rating, prevents over-current battery damage, and
safeguards the POWER-GATE from over-current abuse.
Single
Rectifier/Combiners are rated at the following continuous
current ratings: SR- 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 400, 500,
and 600amps. We will soon offer isolation capacity up
to 1,200 amps.

POWER-GATE
Isolates "BATTERY A" from "BATTERY B",
and "BATTERY B" from "BATTERY A",
with the ability to disable the isolation feature, thus
combining the batteries (or loads) if needed. |
In
a dual leg, dual battery (or load) configuration,
the alternator (or
source)
will charge the battery (or load) that draws the greatest
current. When both loads are equal, they will both
be charged at an equal rate. Either load can be discharged
independently and current cannot pass between batteries
should an internal battery failure or load short occur.
The
Isolator/Combiner includes the ability to remotely
combine the batteries (or loads) as needed. Generally
speaking, it is prudent to isolate thus insuring
a fully charged battery is available for starting.
However, on occasion, one may find it desirable
to join both batteries together (example- lengthy
winch pull or self jump-starting). Isolator/Combiner
is fitted with a Molex wire harness, eight feet
in length, and includes a toggle switch. When switched
to +12-24vDC:
-
Isolation
feature is de-activated allowing current to flow
between "BATTERY A and "BATTERY B"
-
Output
to control an external contactor/solenoid/switch
-
Optional
90 dB alarm chirps an audible warning every 10
seconds reminding the user that the isolation
feature is deactivated
-
Red
"alert" LED illuminates reminding the
user that the isolation feature is deactivated
