1) Automatic activation (default setting).
This is the mode most people will use
. The product comes
with the auto and ignition linked together. This means that there
are no external activation requirements for the product. When
the input voltage goes above 13.3V (alternator or battery
charger is working) then the unit will simply engage and boost
the output. When the input voltage drops below 13.0V but above
12.2V the unit shall remain on (boost) for another 120 seconds.
If the input voltage remains between 12.2V and 13.0V for more
than 120 seconds the unit shall go into sleep mode. If the input
voltage drops below 12.2V within this 120 second time frame the
unit shall immediately go into sleep. If input voltage is then to rise
immediately to between 12.2V and 13.0V the 120 second timer
shall continue. To get out of sleep mode an input voltage of
13.3V+ must be reached. To reset the 120 second timer the
input voltage must exceed 13.6V for over 5 seconds. If this
threshold is not met then sleep mode would resume
immediately if the voltage drops below 13V again.
This mode complements Regen. Braking / Smart Alts.

2) Ignition feed activation (with automatic on/off)
This mode is a basic ignition feed. There is no 120 second timer.
When you have a live ignition feed (~12V). The unit simply
activates when the input voltage is 13.3V+. It shall then enter
sleep mode if the input voltage drops below 13.2V. If live feed is
turned off the unit enters sleep. To turn unit on again, turn on live
feed and ensure input voltage is above 13.3V+, there will be a 10
second delay.
When you would use this feature?
If the starter and house bank are connected via a voltage sensitive
relay (as well as this charger) whereby a high voltage (13.3V) is
relayed from the house bank back to the starter bank this charger
shall remain on, thus, ultimately depleting both batteries.
This mode does not complement Regen. Braking / Smart
Alternator.
Unit operational mode
Standby, sleep and off modes
Standby
- only happens when
in ignition mode, when the
ignition is off and the input
voltage is above 13.3V. Blue
LED flashes continually and 4x
green LEDS are lit. To get out of
standby turn ignition on and
ensure above 13.3V on the
input.
Sleep
- the unit goes into sleep mode
when a low input voltage threshold has
been breached. This varies between
functions. Typically, when the input
voltage drops below 13.0V the unit
enters sleep mode after a 120 second
delay. The blue LED flashes once for
10ms every 60 seconds.
Off
- to remove power
from unit completely
remove negative or
positive input cable.
There is no 'off' function
per se
. Removing power
will not
reset the settings
on the charger.

With live feed
(~12V) the unit turns on at 13.3V+ input
voltage. Goes into sleep when below 13.2V.
When live feed is removed the unit enters
sleep. Unit turns on again when live feed is re-
established and input voltage is 13.3V+ (there
is a 10 second delay).

the unit turns on at 13.3V+ input voltage. Goes into
sleep when below 13.2V. When live feed is removed
the unit enters sleep. Unit turns on again when live

3) Pure ignition feed mode - WARNING potential flat battery.
IDEALLY SUITED FOR EURO 6+ VEHICLES.
If your starter battery does not climb above 13V when you turn the engine on
and you wish to utilise the capability of the charger when stationary you shall
need to apply an ignition feed to the depicted connector.
This is pure ignition feed mode. If you have a live ignition feed then the BBW shall start
to charge. When the ignition signal turns off then the charger stops charging and goes
to sleep. This mode complements Regen. It shall work down to 10V input. This mode
is ideal for those vehicles that start up and the alternator is switched off and the starter
battery’s voltage is not high enough to trigger the BBW to switch on.
The link can be added if you want all the functions of mode 1 when the ignition is
turned off. Perhaps you are running a battery charger to charge up your starter battery
and want the BBW to turn on to charge the auxiliary battery without having to have the
ignition on.
This mode complements Regen. Braking / Smart Alts.
WARNING - This mode could potentially drain battery if ignition is left on
without the engine running.
