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. The Battery Isolators work by being fitted in between the negative side of the battery and the chassis ( As seen above ). Watch this animated picture below to help understand how it works! The first is to disconnect the Battery from all Electrical Circuits. The Cartek Battery Isolator GT provides two functions. The Isolator will also automatically trip into isolation mode if any wire connection becomes broken due to fatigue or accident.
If required, multiple kill switches/devices can be incorporated, alternatively the system can be configured to be operated by a single on-off switch/push button. All switches/push-buttons are connected to the Isolator via light weight, low current wiring. The Isolator can be controlled by any number of switches although the usual configuration is one internal on-off switch and one external kill button.
The unit will instantly trigger into isolation mode when any of the kill buttons are struck or on detection of any fault or break in switch wiring circuits. These microprocessors also monitor the kill switches/buttons for instant activation without false triggering. The two electronic isolation circuits are controlled by microprocessors and incorporate various safety systems including over-temperature and over-current monitoring. This Solid State Isolator is also filled with a hard setting resin which prevents any ingress of dust, dirt or water therefore further increasing its strength and reliability. Both of these types of systems contain mechanical electrical contacts which, due to the combination of high electrical current and the shocks and vibration of the race car environment, sparking between the contacts occurs which results in contact erosion and eventual unreliability. Early types of electrical isolation were by large mechanical master-switches while more modern systems have utilised electro-mechanical solenoids. Solid State means no moving parts, all power switching is fully electronic. The first breaks the connection between the negative side of the vehicle’s battery from chassis/earth, thereby isolating the battery power from all electrical circuits, while the second cuts power to the engine electrics and thereby stops the engine from running. The Solid State Isolator contains two isolation circuits. The circuit breaker, when operated, must isolate all electrical circuits with the exception of those that operate fire extinguishers. The general circuit breaker must cut all electrical circuits, battery, alternator or dynamo, lights, hooters, ignition, electrical controls, etc. The Cartek Battery Isolator meets these requirements. However, most FIA race and rally championships require cars to be fitted with a spark-proof master switch to isolate the battery from all electrical systems and stop the engine.
CARTEK BATTERY ISOLATOR PROFESSIONAL
Designed and manufactured in the UK for professional racing.Unlike race seats, harnesses and fire extinguishers the FIA does not have an approval procedure for Master Switches. Measures 3 5/8" x 2" x 1 1/2" tall and weighs just 5 ounces. The main battery switching circuit can handle a constant 450 amp battery load (2000A surge capacity), while the ignition/fuel pump circuit can handle up to 30 amps. The GT Isolator can be used with 7 to 18 volt electrical systems (negative ground only).
CARTEK BATTERY ISOLATOR FULL
We also stock the full Cartek GT Battery Isolator Kit with Blue External Button (Part No. The External Pushbutton Battery Isolator Switches are sold separately (Part No. This Isolator does not include any trigger switches. A latching (on-off) switch or your car's ignition switch can be used to reset the isolator.
CARTEK BATTERY ISOLATOR SERIES
The isolator can be triggered by any number of normally closed, momentary-break switches (push button or toggle), connected in series using standard hookup wire (as small as 18 gauge). Solid state construction means no moving parts and no potential for sparks when the switch is operated.
One main circuit cuts off the ground connection to the battery, while a second circuit turns off power to the ignition system and fuel pumps to positively shut off the engine. It is triggered by a push button switch which can be remote-mounted in the location specified by the rules.Ĭartek isolators are designed to meet FIA and MSA requirements for electrical master kill switches. Why run heavy battery cables all the way from your battery to your kill switch and back? The Cartek GT Battery Isolator is a solid-state electrical master switch that can be mounted close to the battery.
