TRUE UTV-SBI-CM UTV Dual Battery Connect and Monitor Kit Instruction Manual

TRUE UTV-SBI-CM UTV Dual Battery Connect and Monitor Kit

Product Information

• Product Name: UTV-SBI-CM
• Features: Battery Isolator with Dual Display Volt Meter
• Installation: Common Ground

Note:
The SBI is designed ambidextrous, so it can be installed in either orientation. Either stud can be connected to either battery’s positive terminal.

Product Usage Instructions

Battery Installation

1. Connect the positive terminal of Battery I to either stud of the isolator.
2. Connect the negative terminal of Battery I to the common ground.
3. Connect the positive terminal of Battery II to the remaining stud of the isolator.
4. Connect the negative terminal of Battery II to the common ground.

LED Indicator

• Note: It is normal for the LED to remain lit when the engine is first turned off.
• To test the unit, turn on the headlights briefly. The LED should go out if the unit is functioning properly.

Remote Crank Disconnect

Note:
This function is optional and does not have to be used.

Dual Display Volt Meter Wiring

Note:
These directions apply to both the round and rectangular dual display single voltmeters.

Silver blades (2) terminals are positive (+), and gold blade (1) terminal is negative (-).

1. Connect the RED wire to a switched ignition (+) power source (something that turns on and off with the vehicle key).
2. Connect one GREEN wire to the gold (-) blade on the back of the meter. The other GREEN wire is a spare.
3. Connect the BLACK wire to the common ground. Connect this wire last.

Wiring for On/Off Relay Volt Meter

Black Socket:

1. Connect the RED wire to a switched ignition (+) power source.
2. Connect one LIGHT BLUE wire (ring end) to the AUX battery side of the isolator, and connect the blade end to the middle silver VM blade.
3. Connect one LIGHT GREEN wire (ring end) to the MAIN side of the isolator, and connect the blade end to the top silver VM blade.

Installation Instructions

FYI:
The SBI is designed ambidextrous so it cannot be installed backwards. Either stud can be connected to either battery’s positive terminal.

1. Disconnect the neg. terminal of your battery(ies)
2. Red cables: Slip red insulators over small(6mm) cable lugs
3. Attach lugs to the SBI studs finger tight
4. Route and connect SBI between the positive terminal of Batteries
5. Mount with 3M Dual Lock™ or leave suspended (no screws)
6. Route small black ground from SBI to common ground
7. Install black cable from 2nd battery to common ground
8. Tighten all connections (PLASTIC do not over-tighten)
9. Reconnect the neg. terminals
10. Start engine verify function with SBI illumination*

Note:
It is normal for the LED to remain lit when the engine is first turned off. To test the unit turn the headlights on briefly and LED should go out.

Remote Crank Disconnect

THIS FUNCTION IS AN OPTION AND DOES NOT HAVE TO BE USED
The new UTV-SBI-18 now features a remote disconnect feature. This option allows for the user to make a wired connection to the “Crank” side of your ignition/starter circuit that will immediately disable the isolator while the starter is being cranked. Thus eliminating any opportunity for back feed through the isolator and/or connection cables that may exceed the associated amperage rating. To use this feature you will need to connect a wire from the 1/4″/6mm male blade receptacle to the “crank” side of your ignition circuit. This feature is not required to be connected for the isolator to function and is primarily designed for applications that may use smaller gauge charging wires with in-line fuses.

DUAL DISPLAY VOLT METER DIAGRAM

Direction for wiring on/off Relay Volt Meter

Note: These directions apply to the round and the rectangular, dual display, single voltmeters.

• Silver blades (2) terminals are positive (+)
• Gold blade (1) terminal are negative (-)

Black Socket

• RED wire – connect to switched ignition (+) power source. (Something that turns on and off with the vehicle key.)
• GREEN wire – One connects to the gold (-) blade on back of the meter. The other is a spare.
• BLACK wire – common ground (Connect LAST).

Dark Blue 8′ Duplex Wire

Crimp ring and female blade connectors to opposite ends of each wire

• LIGHT BLUE – Ring end to AUX battery side of isolator; blade end to middle silver VM blade
• LIGHT GREEN – Connect ring end to MAIN side of isolator; blade end to top silver VM blade
