LVD1 - 12 Volt 15 Amp Low Voltage Disconnect Kit
The LVD1 kit is used for automatically controlling the power to 12V
solar-powered battery-operated electronic devices.
It shuts down power when the battery voltage drops to a selected
voltage, protecting the battery from damaging excessive discharge conditions.
Power is either automatically or manually reconnected at a selected
voltage when the battery is recharged.
An adjustable low-voltage indicator warns of the impending power outage.
The low-voltage signal is externally available, allowing computers to monitor
the condition and perform a graceful shutdown.
The low-voltage signal can also be used for triggering a variety of low-voltage
warning systems.
The LVD1 has an on-board On/Off switch and an on-board Auto-on/Manual-on
switch for both unattended and attended operation.
It can control a 12V load of up to 15 Amps.
The LVD1 is perfect for controlling solar-powered computer systems,
radio repeaters and WiFi systems.
With a simple extension circuit the LVD1 output logic can be inverted,
allowing it to be used for automatically starting generators and AC-operated
battery chargers.
An external source of 12V DC power is required, suitable power sources include
a solar-charged battery or an automotive/marine electrical power system.
The LVD1 is designed to operate in conjunction with the CirKits
SCC3 solar charge controller,
a 12V rechargeable battery and a photovoltaic (PV) panel.
Controls include an on-board Off/On switch and on-board Auto-on/Manual-on
switch.
Indicators include a red Load-on LED, an amber Low Voltage Detection LED
and two green Calibration LEDs which can be jumper-disabled for saving power.
