Operating Manual

Additional Modes

Automatic Battery Save Mode

The PWRguard PLUS is designed to protect a battery from any additional 

current drain following a long turn off period of 60 minutes.  This “Sleep Mode” 

will further reduce battery power drain by limiting the on time of the Yellow 

LED. Normal operation will be restored when the input voltage returns to the 

safe operating range, and the unit is manually or automatically reset. When 

the unit is in Sleep Mode there is very limited power drain.

Voltage Sensing Circuits

Units are factory calibrated for the specified trip points and delays. 

LED Indicators

Green 

ON – Load powered

OFF – Load off

Red

ON – Voltage too high

Blink – Voltage good – waiting for reset

Yellow

ON – Voltage too low

Blink – Voltage good – waiting for reset

Short Interval Blink – Battery Save Mode

 

USB Programming Instructions

Download and install the West Mountain Radio port diagnostics utility or use 

another terminal program, such as Hyper-Term.  During installation, be sure to 

install the drivers on the PC.  The utility can be set to start every time the PC 

powers up and it is always on the tool tray (lower right) or to just run it when 

needed.

Open the PWRguard Plus unit and power it up.  When the LED is on, connect 

a micro-USB cable (not included with unit) between the PWRguard Plus 

and the PC.  The first time, Windows will attempt to install the driver.  If the 

diagnostic utility was previously installed, Windows should find the driver on 

its own.  Now the Yellow LED should be rapidly blinking.
