Changing Start Timer

The Start Timer defines the delay after starting the vehicle when the Power Pack connects the 
auxiliary battery and allows charge to flow to it. This delay can be adjusted for various vehicles and 
applications.

Changing Voltage Profile

The Power Pack detects when the vehicle has started and when it has stopped by measuring the 
voltage on the MAIN input.  The Voltage Profile is used to adjust this threshold to ensure reliable 
detection in a variety of different vehicles and applications.

Ÿ

Vehicles with a lower alternator voltage 
can use a lower voltage profile. This may 
be necessary for vehicles with "smart" 
alternators.

Ÿ

The voltage profile selected will also 
affect the turn-off voltage (when the 
Power Pack isolates the Auxiliary 
battery).

Ÿ

Vehicles with a higher alternator voltage 
can use a higher voltage profile.

Ÿ

A value of 13.2V-13.3V is recommended 
for most applications.

Ÿ

A longer delay is useful for vehicles with 
lower-power alternators. It allows for the 
Main battery to receive charge for longer 
before charge is shared to the Auxiliary 
battery. This can prevent alternator over-
load.

Ÿ

The start timer can be set between 

Ÿ

For vehicles with more powerful 
alternators, a shorter delay can be 
chosen. This connects the Auxiliary 
battery sooner but can put more load on 
the alternator initially.

      30 seconds and 8 minutes in increments  
      of 30 seconds.
