Standby
| Battery clamp connected, the red and green indicators will flash alternately.| ****
N/A
Operating
| When the battery clamp is in the conduction working state, the green indicator remains continuously on, indicating normal operation.| ****
N/A
High voltage protection
| When the battery clamp is in standby mode, high voltage protection is set at 17.50V±0.5V. If the voltage at the ECS terminal exceeds this threshold, the protection is triggered. The red indicator will remain on until the fault is eliminated, at which point the protection is automatically released.| ****
17.5V ±0.5V
Low voltage protection
| When the battery clamp is in standby mode, low voltage protection is set at 14.0V±0.4V. If the voltage at the ECS terminal drops below this threshold, the protection is triggered. The red indicator will remain on until the fault is eliminated, at which point the protection is automatically released.| ****
14.0V ±0.4V
High temperature protection
| When the detection temperature of the battery clamp
disconnected. The red indicator remains on, and the buzzer does not sound. The protection is automatically released when the temperature of the batt ery clamp falls below the specified threshold
| ****
N/A
Reverse polarity protect ion
| When the battery clamp is reversely connected to the vehicle battery with a voltage higher than 1.0V, the protection is triggered. The red indicator remains on, and the buzzer emits a series of short beeps. The protection is automatically released after the fault is eliminated.| ****
N/A
Anti charge protection
| When the anti-charge protection is triggered, the output is automatically disconnected, and the red and green indicators flash alternately. The protection can be automatically released after the fault is eliminated.| ****
N/A
Start overrun protection.
| During the conduction process, if the battery clamp detects that the voltage of the start port is lower than 7.0V and lasts for 0.5s, the output is automatically disconnected. The red indicator remains on, and the buzzer does not sound. The protection can be released by powering on again.| ****
N/A
---|---|---
Boot timeout protection
| 1. After the car is correctly connected but has not been started, the output will be automatically
disconnected if the battery clamp is turned on for 30 seconds, and the red indicator will remain on. It needs to be powered on again to release the protection.
2. If the voltage at the start port of the battery clamp protection detection drops by 3.0V±0.2V, indicating an attempt to start the car, the battery clamp will continue to conduct for 5 seconds and then disconnect the output. The red indicator remains on, and it needs to be powered on again to release the protection.
| ****
N/A
Short circuit protection
| In standby state, if the battery clamps are short- circuited, there will be no sparks and no damage. When the short circuit protection is triggered, the red indicator will remain on, and the buzzer will sound continuously.| ****
N/A
Relay sticking alarm
| If the relay of the battery clam p gets stuck, an alarm will be triggered when the power is turned on again. The red indicator will be on, and the buzzer will continue to beep quickly and briefly.| ****
N/A
Clip off detection
| If the red and black clips of the battery clamp fall off when starting the car, the system will automatically return to the standby state after approximately 2.5 seconds.| ****
