• Remote Control: Allows power control from up to 100 meters away.
• LED Voltage Display: Provides real-time battery voltage monitoring.
• Driving Safety Feature: Disables remote control when voltage exceeds 13.2V to prevent accidental shutdown during driving.
• Wide Application: Suitable for most 12V vehicles including cars, boats, RVs, trailers, trucks, ATVs, UTVs, and motorcycles with a rated battery current below 240A.

What's in the Box:

• Remote Battery Disconnect Switch
• Remote Control (Quantity may vary, typically two)

2. Safety Information

Please read all safety instructions before installation and operation. Failure to follow these instructions may result in property damage, injury, or death.

• Always disconnect the negative terminal of the battery first when working on electrical systems to prevent accidental short circuits.
• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses and gloves.
• Ensure the vehicle's ignition is off and all accessories are turned off before installation.
• Verify the switch is compatible with your vehicle's battery voltage (12V) and current rating (below 240A).
• Do not attempt to modify the switch or its components.
• Keep the remote control away from children.

3. Installation Guide

This switch uses a negative link method. Before installation, identify a suitable mounting position in the engine compartment. If the existing connector is incompatible, it may need to be replaced to adjust the mounting position.

Installation Steps:

1. Remove Negative Terminal Clamp: Carefully remove the existing negative terminal clamp from your vehicle's battery.
2. Connect Switch to Battery Negative Terminal: Connect the main clamp of the disconnect switch to the battery's negative terminal. Ensure a secure connection.
3. Attach Battery Negative Terminal Clamp to Switch: Attach the vehicle's original negative terminal clamp to the negative terminal on the disconnect switch.
4. Connect Red Power Cord: Connect the switch's red power cord to the battery's positive terminal. This provides power to the switch's internal electronics and LED display.

4. Operating Instructions

Remote Control Operation:

The switch can be controlled wirelessly using the provided remote control from a distance of up to 100 meters.

• Press the ON button on the remote to connect the battery and supply power to the vehicle.
• Press the OFF button on the remote to disconnect the battery and cut off power to the vehicle.

LED Voltage Display:

The integrated LED display shows the real-time voltage of your vehicle's battery, allowing for continuous monitoring of battery health.

Smart Protection Features:

• Low Voltage Protection: If the battery voltage drops below 11.8V, the remote control function will be disabled, and the device will automatically cut off power after 120 seconds to prevent deep discharge and conserve battery life.
• Driving Safety Lock: When the battery voltage exceeds 13.2V (indicating the engine is running and charging), the remote control will be disabled. This prevents accidental power cutoff while the vehicle is in operation, ensuring safety. Manual control is still possible if needed.

5. Maintenance

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Remote Battery Disconnect Switch, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Regular Inspection: Periodically check all connections to ensure they are tight and free from corrosion.
• Cleaning: Keep the switch and terminals clean from dirt, dust, and moisture. Use a dry cloth for cleaning. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Battery Health: Monitor your vehicle's battery health regularly, especially if the low voltage protection feature is frequently activated.
• Remote Control Batteries: Replace the batteries in the remote control as needed to maintain reliable operation.

6. Troubleshooting

• Switch does not respond to remote control:
  • Check if the battery voltage is below 11.8V (low voltage protection active).
  • Check if the battery voltage is above 13.2V (driving safety lock active).
  • Ensure the remote control batteries are not depleted.
  • Verify that the remote control is within the 100-meter operating range.
• Vehicle power cuts off unexpectedly:
  • This is likely due to the low voltage protection feature. Check your battery's charge level.
  • Inspect for any loose connections or damaged wiring.
• LED display is off or flickering:
  • Ensure the red power cord is securely connected to the positive battery terminal.
  • Check the main battery connections for tightness and corrosion.
