Isolator Relay Delay/E

Intellitec’s Battery Isolator Relay Delay/E offers a low cost, 
reliable approach to charging multiple batteries. Unlike diode 
isolators, this system provides an engine driven alternator 
with the opportunity to begin charging the main battery
before connecting the auxiliary battery. This allows the use 

of self-exciting alternators and lets the engine briefly warm 

up prior to placing the load of a heavily discharged auxiliary 
battery on the alternator. The unit is available in both 12 and 
24 volt versions.

The unit is fully encapsulated in a plastic enclosure for 
mounting in the engine compartment with two screws. It 
operates in combination with a conventional continuous duty
cycle isolator relay that has been used by a number of 
vehicle manufacturers. There are three (3) wires to connect 
to the delay unit: one from an ignition switched 12 volt 
source, a ground and the isolator relay coil.

It operates by sensing the voltage on the main 12 volt 
system. When this voltage goes above 13.3 volts for 
approximately 12 seconds, as happens when the engine 
is running normally (normal alternator output voltage is 
approximately 14.4 volts), it will close the isolator relay 
providing charging current to the auxiliary battery. When
the ignition switch is turned off, the relay will open 
immediately.

If the voltage should drop below 12.0 volts for more than two 
seconds while the engine is running, the relay will drop out. 
This might happen when the alternator is not able to supply

sufficient current to all the loads and charge the auxiliary 

battery.

When the main battery voltage rises above 13.3 volts again, 
the relay will again close in about 2 seconds to retry charging 

the auxiliary battery. The resultant flicker of the lights will alert 

the driver of the system overload.

How It Works

The Isolator Relay Delay senses the voltage on the main 
battery of a multiple battery system, and supplies power to 
the coil of an isolator relay when the voltage on the main 
battery rises above 13.3 volts (26.6 volts on 24 volt system). 
If the voltage falls below 12.0 volts (24 volts on 24 volt 
system) the unit will

stop supplying current to the isolator relay, preventing the 
load of the auxiliary battery from stopping the engine.
