#CARTEK BATTERY ISOLATOR WIRING DRIVER#

Other switches and units are available ranging from the the cheap and functional to the high end and desired. There are many types on the market and Cartek offer an advanced and lightweight unit using solid state electronics which means there are no moving parts to fail.

They enable both the driver and circuit marshall’s to remotely kill the engine/cars electronics by pushing a button inside the car or on the outside in the event of an accident or situation that requires the cars electronics to be isolated and the engine killed. These microprocessors also monitor the kill switches/buttons for instant activation without false triggering.Battery isolators are standard equipment on most race cars and in some Time Attack classes they are mandatory and highly recommended in others. The two electronic isolation circuits are controlled by microprocessors and incorporate various safety systems including over-temperature and over-current monitoring. The Cartek Battery Isolator XR comes with built in alternator run down protection meaning no extra wiring and no extra components. The ECU or Power Distribution Module will then shut down when it see’s this signal – which then kills the engine. Instead it sends a signal (12v 0.2a when on, switched to chassis/earth when off) which is wired up to either a Power Distribution Module or Motorsport ECU that has an ignition switch signal input. This unit does not have a power input or power output. This means that no power can get to any of the electrical circuits as there is a break in the circuit. When the external kill button has been activated or the internal button been switched to the off state, then the Battery Isolator will disconnect the negative side of the battery from the Chassis. At 30 smaller size and 40 lighter weight than the previous ‘standard’ and GT isolators, this XR version offers even more benefits and performance when compared with traditional mechanical master-switches and electro/mechanical safety cut-outs. The smaller wire to the battery is usually the charge wire back from the. The Cartek Battery Isolator GT kills the engine by taking in a fixed 12v input and sending a 12v output that would power your Ignition or ECU. This means by disconnecting the bttery while the cars running nowt will happen. IIRC engines use the battery to start only then the alternator takes over to power everything else. The Cartek Battery Isolator XR works by being fitted in between the negative side of the battery and the chassis. The XR Battery Isolator is the latest generation of motorsport master-switch devices from CARTEK. Sounds to me like the engine is still running from the alternator. The first is to disconnect the Battery from all Electrical Circuits. The Cartek Battery Isolator XR provides two functions.

Designed and manufactured in UK using high quality components.

Mounts close to battery for reduced cabling.

Buttons / switches connected to Isolator using lightweight wiring and IP67 sealed connector.

External operation by single or multiple ‘strike’ button(s).

Driver operation by a single internal ON-OFF button/switch.Fully integrated with built in alternator run-down circuitry - No extra components required.0.5 second delay between transmitting the engine kill signal and disconnecting the battery allowing ECUs time to perform a shutdown sequence before electrical power is lost.We offer a wide array of reliable and cost-effective products from standard solutions to custom designs.
