All PowerTectors

from 40A upwards are mounted

in a rugged die cast aluminium casing

with glass filled polycarbonate cover

providing terminal protection and insulation.

The

PowerTector

Battery Guards

offer excellent

protection for

communication

and other

mission critical

applications

Switch terminal allows the unit

to be operated via the ignition or a

manual switch

Audible alarm and/or

Visual indicator can be

installed in the dashboard

or cockpit to alert operator

of a potential problem

Using the simple programming

terminal, select the pre-set

disconnect voltage according

to your requirements.

LED indicates

operational status.

Fully Programmable

All units in the range are supplied

pre-programmed for a variety of

scenarios offering higher or lower

disconnect voltages to and it is quick

and simple to select the correct

programme to suit your needs

whether it is to avoid battery damage

due or to protect key equipment.

A Wide Range and a

Multitude of Features

There are six units in the range from

10A to 200A. The 10A and 20A unit

offer a simple inline system, usually

wired to a specific piece of

equipment. These units do not

require chassis mounting and simply

connect and tie wrap neatly within the

wiring system.

The 40A and 60A units are connected

by M6 brass bolts and use a three

point mounting system to avoid

rocking or stress to the electronics

when mounted on uneven surfaces.

Heat is dissipated into our custom

manufactured die cast casing and all

units will operate at full power without

additional heatsinking dissipation.

The terminals are insulated from each

other using a solid polycarbonate top

assembly that provides physical

protection to avoid accidental short

circuit or unintentional current bypass

and also houses the programming

terminal. A multifunction LED

provides both programming and

status information and a connection is

also available to run a wire through to

the cockpit or dashboard where visual

and audible indicators such as lights

and buzzers can be attached to alert

the user of a potential problem.

IP65

Manual Shutdown Facility

From 40A upwards, the units also offer

the facility to fit a switched cable to

allow the unit to be connected directly

to the ignition or switch. In addition, the

100A and 200A units can have a

manual override switch. This ensures

that the operator investigates the

reason for disconnection prior to

resetting the device to allow emergency

actions to be performed.

IP65 Protection

All units are protected to IP65, so are

fully waterproof, using ultra high

performance flexible compound that

allows for the natural expansion and

contraction of the electronics without

the danger of component fracture

characteristic of many hard epoxy

based resins which can cause long

term failure. The extended life offered

by this method allows Alfatronix to offer

our full lifetime guarantee.

Solid State Battery Guard

The PowerTector Battery Guard is a solid state device that will monitor the source

voltage and disconnect the equipment from the battery if the voltage falls below a

pre-determined level. This can work to ensure that there is always sufficient voltage

remaining in the battery to start a vehicle engine or ensure power is available for

other critical applications. The total discharge of a lead acid battery can also cause

damage to the cells significantly shortening the life of the battery, so the PowerTector

unit can also be set to disconnect equipment at a lower voltage that will still protect

the battery from total discharge, while allowing for maximum battery usage.
