1
Over
Temperature
Protection
Remove
uSTART
from
the
high
temperature
condition.
Allow
uSTART
to
cool.
The
fault
will
clear
as
soon
as
uSTART
returns
to
an
internal
temperature
below
60°C
(149°F)
.
If
this
condition
is
noted
as
occurring
more
than
once
on
a
particular
vehicle
a
reflective
heat
shield
may
be
worth
installing
between
a
heat
source
and
the
uSTART.
An
environmental
condition
above
65°C
(149°F)
will
cause
uSTART
to
enter
Fault
Mode
in
order
to
protect
the
product.
Prolonged
operation
above
65°C
(149°F)
will
cause
reduced
lifetime
and
void
the
warranty
2
Over
Power
or
Over
Current
Protection
The
fault
condition
will
clear
within
30
seconds
and
uSTART
will
return
to
Run
Mode.
Check
for
loose
electrical
connections
and
battery
condition.
Infrequent
activation
of
Over
Power
Protection
does
not
pose
any
concern
for
uSTART
and
can
be
expected
in
certain
applications
(ex.
Diesel
engine
cold
starts
with
pre
‐
heater,
or
extended
heavy
lifts
with
lift
‐
gate).
Infrequent
activation
of
Over
Current
Protection
does
not
pose
any
concern
for
uSTART
and
can
be
expected
under
conditions
of
very
high
load,
or
if
uSTART
terminals
experience
a
short
circuit
(ex.
wrench
contacts
both
terminals
during
installation).
If
fault
mode
continues
to
occur
after
the
steps
above,
contact
Ioxus
Customer
Service.
High
current
or
high
current
draws
for
extended
periods
(beyond
normal
engine
cranking
times)
will
cause
uSTART
to
enter
fault
mode
in
order
to
ensure
long
term
product
lifetime
is
not
reduced.
