On/On Delay Timer


When cranking engine, vehicle electronics systems (computers, GPS, AVL, etc.) are in standby to prevent data loss. The heavy current draw of cranking combined with a full electronics suite can cause voltage drops severe enough to upset memorized settings. By delaying the equipment activation until after the engine is completely started, the ON-ON delay timer prevents data loss and vehicle down time.
  • Automatic ON/ON - no user intervention required
  • Programmable with external DIP switch for selecting and adjusting time delay.
  • Prevents battery deep discharge
  • Hermetically sealed from moisture and vibration
  • Low/High voltage detection and auto shutdown
  • Delay time range: 5 seconds to 120 seconds, selectable
  • Load Current: 30 Amps @ 12 Volts DC
  • Operating Voltage: 10 VDC min. - 18 VDC max.
  • Ignition Switch Trigger: 10.4 - 15.0 VDC, 10 mA
  • Low Voltage: Disconnect 10.5 volts
  • Over Voltage: Disconnect 17 volts
  • Operating Temperatures: -40 to +185 F
  • Stand by Current: 2 mA

StartGuard Power Conditioner


The abrupt DC system voltage drop that accompanies engine starting can cause microprocessor-driven communication and navigation electronics to dump programmed memory. StartGuard solves this problem by providing supplemental voltage to sensitive electronics while the engine is cranked. It contains a sealed rechargeable battery which is switched on-line to electronics when the starter switch or solenoid is engaged. When the engine is running StartGuard automatically goes off-line and the internal battery is recharged by the alternator.
  • Input Voltage: 13.8-14.8 VDC nominal, 15.5 VDC max.
  • Relay Activation Input Voltage: 7-15 VDC
  • Output: 20 amps max. (20 seconds), 15 amps (2 minutes)
  • Battery: 12 VDC , sealed rechargeable, 5- 7 year life (typical) 4 amp-hour capacity
