![]() ![]() Instead it sends a signal which is wired up to either a Power Distribution Module or Motorsport ECU that has an ignition switch signal input. XR: This unit does not have a power input or power output. Designed for cars with Standard ECU’s or Historic Race cars. When the negative side of the battery has been disconnected it will also cut the 12v output powering your Ignition or ECU. GT: This kills the engine by taking in a fixed 12v input and sending a 12v output that would power your Ignition or ECU. To kill the Engine there are two options of Battery Isolator, the GT kit or the XR. This means that no power can get to any of the electrical circuits as there is a break in the circuit. When the external kill button has been activated or the internal button been switched to the off state, then the Battery Isolator will disconnect the negative side of the battery from the Chassis. The Battery Isolators work by being fitted in between the negative side of the battery and the chassis ( As seen above ). The first is to disconnect the Battery from all Electrical Circuits. ![]() ![]() The Cartek Battery Isolators provide two functions. These solid state battery Isolators are also filled with a hard setting resin which prevents any ingress of dust, dirt or water therefore further increasing their strength and reliability. Solid state means no moving parts, all power switching is fully electronic.Įarly types of electrical isolation were by large mechanical master-switches while more modern systems have utilised electro-mechanical solenoids.īoth of these types of systems contain mechanical electrical contacts which, due to the combination of high electrical current and the shocks and vibration of the race car environment, sparking between the contacts occurs which results in contact erosion and eventual unreliability. Fully sealed with no moving parts meaning you can always rely on Cartek kits to work in the tough environments of motorsport. ![]()
