How it works
When the engine is running the ‘Charge Guard’ senses the voltage and allows the charge
through to the auxiliary battery. When the engine is switched off the ‘Charge Guard’
senses the voltage drop and separates and isolates both batteries. This means that
equipment powered from auxiliary batteries cannot drain the starting battery.
Why you need one
With today’s engine management systems and ‘intelligent’ alternators you cannot use
the charging light on the dash as a switch, also you cannot jump start most new vehicles
without the danger of damaging the engine ECU. This unit then becomes cost effective.
Who uses them
Emergency vehicles where battery drain is a problem. Utility and Council vehicles where
multiple beacons/work lamps or power tools are being charged.

Runlock 24V
This is just one of a series of exciting new products to make the drivers and operators life
easier and save time and money. This unit will allow the engine to keep running while
the key is removed from the ignition, thereby ensuring there is sufficient power to use
Beacons, Accessories, Tail Lifts etc. without danger of battery discharge. On re-entering
the cab the key must be re-inserted. If not and the handbrake, footbrake or clutch is
operated the engine will cut out immediately.
• 3 circuit monitoring
• Momentary dash mounted switch to activate the unit
• Solid state encapsulated electronics to protect against dust and moisture
• Microprocessor controlled
• Self adjusted to individual vehicle
When fitted simply connect all circuits. Start engine and with handbrake on and the
clutch and footbrake in the normal off position. Press the red button on the unit, the
microprocessor in the unit reads and records the vehicle settings and registers them as the
norm. When activated, if these settings change the unit cuts the engine off.

Stop your Tail Lift from Flattening your battery!
The Start Guard gives peace of mind to vehicle fleet operators. It safeguards the voltage in
the starting battery by eliminating the possibility of a tail lift, passenger lift or double deck
trailer lift discharging the starting battery to a level where the vehicle is left stranded.
The Start Guard constantly monitors the battery voltage. If the voltage drops below a
predetermined level (sufficient to start the engine) the unit will tell the operator by means
of a buzzer or a real speech alarm that they must re-start the engine. If they do not re-
start the engine the unit will cut the power to the tail lift. When the engine is re-started
the power is automatically restored when the battery reaches a predetermined voltage.
