Votronic D+ Simulator 3066
Soon available again
If additional consumers are only to be switched on when the alternator is supplying power while the engine is running, or if the on-board battery is to be charged via a disconnect relay by connecting the on-board battery and the starter battery, the D+ contact of the alternator is used to detect the charging operation of an alternator. If this is not accessible or not available on newer alternators, the VOTRONIC D+ simulator generates this signal by monitoring the starter battery connected to the alternator.
Range of functions
- Switching output: Connection option for power relays with max. 1A holding current (+ switching, overload-proof and short-circuit-proof)
- Switching delay of approx. 4 seconds to prevent false triggering due to voltage drops
- Automatic extension of the switch-off delay up to 90 seconds in case of vibration tendency
- LED indicator for D+ "On"
- Low power consumption
Possible applications
- Charging operation is detected by intelligent voltage evaluation of the battery connected to the alternator. This makes it possible to control a downstream battery disconnect relay in order to recharge the on-board battery while the engine is running.
- Further applications are possible in the control of additional consumers that should only be activated when the battery is sufficiently charged. For example, switching on an air conditioning system while driving or switching on fans for interior ventilation.
- The continuously lit LED (light-emitting diode) indicates that the control output is switched on. This makes it possible to monitor the recharging of the starter battery. By connecting the switch output to a display (12V lamp), the D+ simulator can also be used as a remote charging monitor.
