THE BATTERY MASTER ISOLATION SWITCH (BMIS)

The Battery Master Isolation Switch (BMIS) allows for manual isolation of a vehicle’s (trucks) electrical 
system from its battery. The BMIS will also ensure that no loads are drawn from the vehicle whilst not 
in use, thereby reducing flat battery faults. The BMIS models are intended to meet the compliance 
and specification requirements found in this document and are designed for use with roll over 
switches or sensors (ROS).

WARNINGS & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - THIS MANUAL CONTAINS IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE BMIS.
DO NOT OPERATE THE ISOLATION SWITCH UNLESS YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THIS MANUAL AND THE 
ISOLATION SWITCH IS INSTALLED AS PER THESE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.

1.  IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT YOUR ISOLATION SWITCH BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER 

AND THE ISOLATION SWITCH FUNCTION BE CHECKED AT LEAST EVERY 3 MONTHS. AN IMPROPERLY 
INSTALLED AND/OR FAULTY ISOLATION SWITCH CAN CAUSE ERRATIC VEHICLE BEHAVIOUR AND LOSS OF 
VEHICLE CONTROL.

2.  ENSURE THAT THE BMIS IS MOUNTED IN THE ORIENTATION AS DEPICTED. ALTERNATIVE ORIENTATION 

MAY COMPROMISE CORRECT PRODUCT FUNCTION.

3.  ENSURE THAT ALL WIRES ARE TERMINATED CORRECTLY. FAILURE TO CORRECTLY TERMINATE WIRES 

COULD RESULT IN ERRATIC VEHICLE BEHAVIOUR AND LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL, BATTERY FIRE, 
EXPLOSION OR LEAKAGE.

4.  ENSURE THAT THE BMIS SWITCH IS OFF BEFORE INSTALLING THE UNIT. INSTALLING THE BMIS WHILST 

THE SWITCH IS ON COULD RESULT IN FIRE AND MAY CAUSE INJURY TO PERSONS AND/OR DAMAGE TO 
PROPERTY.

5.  ENSURE THAT THE RED COVER IS INSTALLED, TO PROTECT THE SWITCH MECHANISM FROM ACCIDENTAL 

OPERATION DUE TO IMPACT OR CORROSION. ACCIDENTAL OPERATION COULD RESULT IN UNEXPECTED 
POWER ISOLATION AND LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL.

6.  BMIS 4PP OR 4PN MODELS ARE NOT FOR OPERATION IN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES. OPERATION WHEN 

EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE ARE PRESENT MAY CAUSE FIRE OR EXPLOSION AND RESULT IN INJURY TO 
PERSONS AND/OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY. ALLOW EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES TO DISSIPATE OR INSTALL 
UNIT IN NON-EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES BEFORE OPERATING.

1.  Ensure that the cable used to install the BMIS is of adequate thickness to supply the required current to operate 

the vehicle electrical system. Incorrect wiring can result in fire and may cause injury to persons, damage to the 
BMIS and/or damage to property.

2.  Do NOT alter or disassemble the BMIS under any circumstances. There are no user serviceable parts inside. The 

BMIS is not serviceable and is lubricated for life. The BMIS must be returned to your supplier for Assessment. 
Incorrect handling, disassembly or reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire and may void the
