The EBI Pro is an electronic battery isolator aimed at replacing out-dated “electro-mechanical” type devices. Boasting features never before seen in dual battery isolators, the EBI Pro is designed to provide 4WD and RV users with real advantage and years of service.
In many vehicles, particularly 4WD or RV applications, there is a requirement to automatically charge a second (or auxiliary) battery from the starting (or main) battery. This is a well proven concept and is usually only limited by the constraints of the device used in the installation. These constraints have now been overcome by the introduction of the EBI Pro.
The EBI Pro is a revolution in dual battery control devices. Unlike conventional electro-mechanical isolators the EBI Pro is solid state. Solid state means no moving parts. There are no contacts to vibrate, chatter, arc, wear and ultimately – fail. The MOSFET based topology of the EBI Pro is proven. Reliability, durability and longevity are built in.
The solid state aspect is just the beginning. Designed on the back of the ground-breaking PSR, the EBI Pro is also adjustable in terms of voltage and time delay. This provides the installer or operator with the means to customise the EBI Pro for the application rather than suffer the ‘one size fits all’ philosophy from manufacturers of traditional devices.
Specifications
Topology – solid state Mosfet (metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor) switching circuit
Application – for 12VDC in-vehicle dual battery installations only
Input Voltage – 8-17VDC nominal
Control Voltage –
- • The COMBINE (on state) voltage limits are user adjustable in 0.1 Volt increments from 9.2 Volts to 16.0 Volts
- • The ISOLATE (off state) voltage limits are user adjustable in 0.1 Volt increments from 9.0 Volts to 15.8 Volts
Time Delay – both the COMBINE and ISOLATE time delay limits are user adjustable in 1 second increments from 1 to 250 seconds
Alert Voltage – the ALERT! voltage limits are user adjustable in 0.1 Volt increments from 9.0 Volts to 15.9 Volts
Constant Rating – 100 Amps DC continuous @ 60°C ambient temperature
Surge Rating – 500 Amps DC at <50°C for a period of 5 seconds @ 10% duty cycle
Contact Resistance –across switch terminals <2.0 milliohm @ 25°C
Indicator Output Signal – 30mA maximum (current limited)
Device Current Draw –
- • In ‘Isolate’ mode (open contacts) <30mA
