Allows split charging of second battery bank without discharging the primary start battery.
Durite split charge relay diagram.
Durite 12v 140a voltage sensitive relay with red led indicator relay makes at 13 3v and breaks at 12 8v ce approved allows split charging of second battery.
A 12 volt relay is the same type of relay that you would find in many 12 volt electrical systems.
In addition there are 9 available programmes allowing the user to set the charging protection voltages to suit their requirements.
Connect the cable from the two batteries to the split charge relay.
I have left boxes on the diagram on the left to help you with your measurements.
Connect the cables to the relay.
To to this remove the back plastic cover and unscrew the nuts.
Durite 140amp 12 volt split charge vsr relay 12v voltage sensitive relay 140a 12 volt 140 amp with red led indicator.
The durite smart relay has been designed to be used with the latest range of vehicles fitted with smart alternators and regenerative braking systems.
Plus enjoy more flexibility with our customisable made to order programmable timer relays.
140a relay makes at 13 3 volts and breaks at 12 65 volts.
This system uses a heavy duty version of a simple make and break relay the coil of which is energised by a signal that is only 12v when the engine is running usually the charge signal wire from the alternator.
A 12 volt relay often called a manual split charge relay is an electronic device that uses an electromagnet to pull a set of contacts that make or break a circuit.
Thanks for checking out my how to install a durite split charge relay into a vw transporter t5.
Have a look at the diagram above to see the basic wiring diagram of your voltage sensed split charge kit.
Durite s wide range of relays and flasher units cover 12v and 24v applications.
I ve also briefly explained how it works.
How does a 12 volt relay work.
For some reason the relay i got didn t have any gaps on the plastic edges to place the cables.
