IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY 

Low Voltage Disconnect trips under high demand conditions 

This can be caused by 2 things.  First ensure your battery is charged.  A discharged battery will 
recover voltage under low current conditions, but once current is drawn it will immediately drop 
below the cutout voltage. Second, ensure the wiring on the input side of the unit is adequate for 
the current being drawn and the lengths of the cable run. 

Enable LED fails to illuminate. 

Ensure that you are either feeding one of the enable lines from the radio amplifier key line into 
the unit or the Enable/Disable switch is depressed. 

Minimum Battery Voltage 

According  to  battery  manufacturers  vehicle  batteries  are  normally  considered  drained  at  11.6V 
with no load.  Under load the voltage will be a little lower. Below about 9-10V the voltage will 
drop  fast  with  any  load.  The  battery  life  may  suffer  and  the  vehicle  may  not  start  when  the 
battery is that low.
