FAULT INDICATION
NOTE: The LED will be on when the SBI12-LLD is active (on).
Should a fault occur, the SBI12-LLD is set to notify the operator of the fault.
The LED will flash repeatedly with the following sequences:
CODE 1
2 Flashes
Over-Voltage
CODE 2
3 Flashes
Voltage Drop or Excessive Current Draw Fault
Fault Code 1:
If the battery connected to the SBI12-LLD should rise above 16.5 V, the

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is the unit protected against voltage spikes?
Yes, the SBI12-LLD incorporates a number of spike protection components specifically designed to reduce the risk of damaging the unit. The SBI12-LLD is also
designed to prevent any spikes generated by the solenoid coil from affecting any vehicle equipment.
What does the red LED indicate?
The red LED indicates the solenoid is activated and therefore the battery is supplying power to the load. A flashing red LED during operation indicates a fault.
Can the voltage limits and time delay settings be changed?
Yes. Both upper and lower voltage limits & on and off times can be changed. However, this needs to be done at the time of manufacture and will incur a cost.
We are experiencing repetitive switching for our SBI12-LLD. What could be causing this?
This can occur for one of two reasons. Firstly, switching an excessively large load which would drop the battery to below its lower voltage limit and causing
the SBI12-LLD to turn off. After turning off the load, the battery would recover in voltage; If the battery voltage climbs higher than the turn on threshold, the
SBI12-BLD would turn the loads back on.
Secondly, voltage drop due to cable length (ie. the SBI12-LLD being mounted too far from the auxiliary battery) can cause the voltage at the battery terminal on
the SBI12-LLD to be lower than at the auxiliary battery, which can also cause the unit to switch off. Voltage seen by the SBI12-LLD will now rise again until the
SBI12-LLD switches back on. This switching will continue until the cause of voltage drop is removed. On and Off time delays are built into the product to avoid the
solenoid contacts chattering in this scenario.
Does the internal LED illuminate when I use the external override switch?
Yes.
Can I use the SBI12-LLD on a positive chassis vehicle?
Yes. Please contact REDARC for further information.

OPTION 2
Disconnect, to prevent the source of over-voltage reaching the load.
Flash the LED 2 times for 20 seconds, then reassess the fault condition,
continuing until the fault is cleared.
Fault Code 2:
If the SBI12-LLD detects a voltage drop across its contacts of greater than 1 V
for more than 30 seconds then the unit will:
Immediately protect itself by disconnecting the load; and
Flash the LED 3 times for 20 seconds, then reassess the presence of a
fault, continuing until the fault is cleared.
