Motorsports most advanced Solid State Kill Switches!

Pull Cable seized? Master Switch failed during a race?

CARTEK have been producing the Solid State Battery Isolator for over 10 years now, and is now widely used by OEM Manufacturers.
The Cartek Battery Isolator Systems are fully sealed and have NO moving parts meaning you can always rely on the Cartek kits to work in the tough environments of motorsport.

How It Works

CARTEK XR BATTERY ISOLATOR DIAGRAM

CARTEK Battery XR Isolators provide two functions. The first is to disconnect the Battery from all Electrical Circuits. The second is to kill the engine.
The Battery Isolators work by being fitted in between the negative side of the battery and the chassis ( As seen above ). When the external kill button has been activated or the internal button been switched to the off state, then the Battery Isolator will disconnect the negative side of the battery from the Chassis. This means that no power can get to any of the electrical circuits as there is a break in the circuit.

Battery Isolation

The Cartek Battery Isolator XR works by being fitted in between the negative side of the battery and the chassis. When the external kill button has been activated or the internal button been switched to the off state, then the Battery Isolator will disconnect the negative side of the battery from the Chassis. This means that no power can get to any of the electrical circuits as there is a break in the circuit.

Engine Kill

This unit does not have a power input or power output. Instead it sends a signal (12v 0.2a when on, switched to chassis/earth when off) which is wired up to either a Power Distribution Module or Motorsport ECU that has an ignition switch signal input. The ECU or Power Distribution Module will then shut down when it see’s this signal – which then kills the engine.

Built in Protection

The Cartek Battery Isolator XR comes with built in alternator run down protection meaning no extra wiring and no extra components.

How Is It Controlled?

The two electronic isolation circuits are controlled by microprocessors and incorporate various safety systems including over-temperature and over-current monitoring. These microprocessors also monitor the kill switches/buttons for instant activation without false triggering.

As Cartek Battery Isolators use ‘push to break’ external kill buttons it then allows use of two external buttons to be fitted in series. One Red External button and one Internal button are included to get you started.

The idea of kill buttons was implemented by Ford in the Formula Ford Ecoboost series. If any of the Formula Ford cars would end up against a barrier or upside down, it then allowed a marshall to always have access to kill the engine.

At 30% smaller size and 40% lighter weight than the previous ‘standard’ and GT isolators, this new XR version offers even more benefits and performance when compared with traditional mechanical master-switches and electro/mechanical safety cut-outs.

The unit will instantly trigger into isolation mode when any of the kill buttons are struck or on detection of any fault or break in switch wiring circuits.
