Ecumaster Battery Isolator

Manual

Revision 0.7

Device description

The Battery Isolator is a motorsport solid state device which can be used for FIA compliant battery
isolation and engine shutdown.

It is the most lightweight solution possible. The device is designed for harsh motorsport environment
and it weighs only 83g. The lack of mechanical components ensures long life and high reliability.

The device has a built-in alternator load dump protection without need of external components. This
means there is no risk of damage to expensive electronic equipment during emergency shutdown. It is
controlled with two external switches and can be shut down with a CAN-bus message. The message
can be sent from Ecumaster PMU16 unit in case of high impact or another event.

The device is configurable through CAN-bus and the Light Client software. It also transmits diagnostic
information which can be used by other equipment and is valuable during device setup and diagnosis.

State of the device is transmitted over CAN bus and also is indicated with multi-color led light.

It is fully protected for overheating and over-current.
