Cartek Solid State Battery Isolator X-Pro – Blue Kit

The next generation of Cartek Battery Isolators are now available with the release of two new models, replacing the previous models.

The new X-Club model is a cost effective option which replaces the previous GT model, while the new X-Pro model is designed for all race and rally applications which replaces the previous XR model.

The Cartek X-Pro Battery Isolator is a small, lightweight, solid state electrical master kill switch that is a highly reliable alternative to the traditional mechanical or electro/mechanical master kill switches.

Compared to traditional mechanical or electro/mechanical master kill switches, the Cartek Solid State Battery Isolator X-Pro is fully sealed against water and dirt, completely resistant to shock and vibration, and has no moving parts that can jam or wear out causing arcs and the potential to be arc welded in the closed (ON) position; in accordance with FiA safety regulations.

Key Features:

• Can handle high cranking current suitable for large capacity and highly tuned race engines including V8s (650A cranking, 2000A surge).
• Adjustable current limit for the Engine Stop Output (5A, 10A, 15A, or 20A).
• Built in Overcurrent and Over Temperature protection.
• Integrated RGB status LED for diagnostic purposes.
• 4-pin, Sealed DT Plug (included with pins) for easy installation.

How it Works:

• Features two electronic isolation circuits controlled by microprocessors incorporating various safety systems including over-temperature and over-current monitoring.
• Designed to simplify installation featuring built in alternator run-down protection, thereby saving time and reducing build costs by not requiring any additional wiring or components.
  • The battery isolator is mounted near the battery, reducing cabling and offering additional isolation, and works as a switch between the battery negative cable and the chassis itself.
  • Multiple activation switches* are remotely mounted using lightweight wiring, easily allowing you to have a kill switch in multiple locations to comply with any ruleset.
• The battery isolator is first turned on by the driver pressing the internal button causing the integrated LED to illuminate. Once turned ON, the isolator:
  • Connects the negative battery cable to the chassis, from the isolator battery negative stud to the isolator frame being securely bolted to the chassis.
  • Provides +12VDC output on Pin 3 of the 4-pin, Sealed DT Plug, using the +12VDC source that is connected to the isolator (+) stud.
• The battery isolator is then activated by pressing any of the internal or external switches. Once ACTIVATED, the isolator:
  • Disconnects the negative battery cable from the chassis, isolating the battery and cutting power to all circuits of the vehicle.
  • Stops providing +12VDC output on Pin 3 of the 4-pin, Sealed DT Plug, which when wired correctly, causes the engine to stop and prevents it from running off of the alternator.
