INSTRUCTION MANUAL FILE: IM_091-141_Rev_B DATE: 10-02-03 LOAD MANAGER P A battery protector for vehicles with equipment that Is operated with the engine not running MODEL# 091-141 INPUT: 12 Volts D.C. MODEL# 091-141-24 INPUT: 24 Volts D.C. 3 YEAR WARRANTY
INTRODUCTION The model 091-141 LOAD MANAGER P is designed to disconnect loads when the battery voltage drops below a certain threshold. In addition a "Shutdown Timer" is provided so that the load is disconnected 1 to 2 hours after the engine is shutdown. This provides the ideal control for the computer or radio in police cars, rescue vehicles, command vehicles or any application where these devices might be used with the engine not running. If the operator forgets to shut down the computer or radio, the battery is protected, as the Load Manager P will turn off the power before the battery is drained. 12VDC Operation: The factory pre-set voltage for shutdown is 11.0 volts, but can be potentiometer adjusted up to 12.85 volts. The factory pre-set shutdown time is 1 hour (when engine is not running). This time can also be potentiometer adjusted up to 2 hours. 24VDC Operation: The factory pre-set voltage for shutdown is 22.0 volts, but can be potentiometer adjusted from 21.25 to 24.75 volts. The factory pre-set shutdown time is 1 hour (when engine is not running). This time can also be potentiometer adjusted up to 2 hours. Shutdown Timer: Enabled (factory default) when diode CR4 is installed on Printed Circuit Board Assembly (refer to Figure 3). Disabling the Shutdown Timer by removing CR4 will allow load power supply regardless of engine running/not running status. The load will, however, still be managed as a function of vehicle battery voltage per voltage shutdown described above. The Load Manager Model Number will be followed by "DIS" if the Shutdown Timer is disabled at the factory per customer order.
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION The Load Manager P is basically a low voltage disconnect which removes power from the load when the voltage sensed drops below the preset threshold of 11.0 volts for 12VDC operation and 22.0 volts for 24VDC operation. A starter override is provided to prevent disabling the load while the engine is cranking. This eliminates re-booting the computer if cranking the engine drops the battery voltage below the threshold. When the device detects that the engine is not running a timer is started. After the set time has elapsed the load will be deenergized. If during the timing cycle, the battery voltage drops below its set point, the load will be immediately deenergized. Starting the engine at any time during the timing cycle will reset the timer. A block diagram appears in figure 1.

R102 can be adjusted in a clockwise direction to obtain a higher threshold voltage. Maximum clockwise is 12.85 volts. 24VDC Operation: R102 is normally set approximately 70% of full counter-clockwise for a 22.0 volt threshold. R102 can be adjusted in a clockwise direction to obtain a higher threshold voltage. Maximum clockwise is 24.75 volts, maximum counterclockwise is 21.25VDC. R103 is normally set maximum counter-clockwise for a 1-hour time threshold. R103 can be adjusted in a clockwise direction to obtain a longer time threshold. Maximum clockwise is 2 hours.
