What's in the Box
- Cut off Switch x 1
- Remote controller x 2
- Manual x 1
Features
- Battery Preservation: Prevents battery drain during long-term parking, from aging wires, or forgotten lights, maximizing power storage and extending battery lifespan.
- Smart Protection: Automatically cuts off power after 120 seconds if voltage drops below 11.8V. Remote control is disabled if voltage exceeds 13.2V to prevent accidental shutdown while driving, allowing manual control only.
- LED Voltage Display: Features an LED display for real-time battery voltage monitoring.
- Remote Control: Can be controlled from up to 100 meters away via the included remote.
- Adjustable Mounting: Uses a negative link method. The connector can be replaced to adjust mounting position if the initial location in the engine compartment is incompatible.
- Wide Application: Suitable for most 12V vehicles with a rated battery current below 240A, including cars, boats, RVs, trailers, trucks, ATVs, UTVs, and motorcycles. Compatible with negative pole sizes 9-13 mm and 15-17 mm. Not compatible with small post vehicles.
Setup and Installation
Follow these steps carefully to install your Automatic Power Cut-Off Switch. Ensure your vehicle's ignition is off before beginning installation.

- Remove Battery's Negative Terminal Clamp: Disconnect the existing negative terminal clamp from your vehicle's battery.
- Connect Switch Clamp to Battery's Negative Terminal: Attach the main clamp of the disconnect switch directly to the negative post of your vehicle's battery.
- Attach Battery's Negative Terminal Clamp to Switch's Negative Terminal: Connect the vehicle's original negative terminal clamp to the designated negative terminal on the disconnect switch.
- Connect Switch's Red Power Cord to Battery's Positive Terminal: Route the red power cord from the disconnect switch to the positive terminal of your vehicle's battery and secure it.

Operating Instructions
The Automatic Power Cut-Off Switch offers both manual and remote control for managing your vehicle's battery power.
Manual Operation
- Use the ON/OFF buttons directly on the switch unit to manually connect or disconnect the battery.
Remote Control Operation
- Press the 'ON' button on the remote control to connect the battery and supply power to the vehicle.
- Press the 'OFF' button on the remote control to disconnect the battery and cut off power to the vehicle.
- The remote control has an operating range of up to 100 meters.

Voltage Display and Smart Protection
- The integrated LED display shows the real-time voltage of your vehicle's battery.
- If the battery voltage drops below 11.8V, the switch will automatically cut off power after 120 seconds to prevent deep discharge and protect the battery.
- When the battery voltage is higher than 13.2V (typically when the engine is running and charging), the remote control function is temporarily disabled. This prevents accidental power cut-off while driving, ensuring safety. Manual operation is still possible in this state.

Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Automatic Power Cut-Off Switch, consider the following maintenance tips:
- Periodically inspect all connections to ensure they are clean, tight, and free from corrosion.
- Keep the switch unit clean and free from dirt, dust, and moisture. Use a dry cloth for cleaning.
- Avoid exposing the unit to extreme temperatures or direct water spray.
- Check the battery terminals for any signs of wear or damage and replace if necessary.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Automatic Power Cut-Off Switch, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Switch does not turn ON/OFF | Loose connections, low battery voltage, remote control battery dead. | Check all terminal connections for tightness. Verify vehicle battery voltage. Replace remote control battery. |
| Voltage display is off or inaccurate | Poor connection, internal fault. | Ensure all wires are securely connected. If problem persists, contact customer support. |
| Remote control not working | Out of range, battery dead, vehicle voltage too high. | Move closer to the vehicle. Replace remote battery. Check vehicle voltage (remote is disabled above 13.2V). |
| Automatic cut-off occurs frequently | Vehicle battery is weak or draining quickly. | Have your vehicle's battery tested and charged or replaced if necessary. Investigate potential parasitic drains. |
