Solid state battery isolators. Fully sealed with no moving parts meaning you can always rely on Cartek kits to work in the tough environments of motorsport.
 
These solid state battery Isolators are also filled with a hard setting resin which prevents any ingress of dust, dirt or water therefore further increasing their strength and reliability.
 
The Cartek Battery 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.
 
To kill the Engine there are four options of Battery Isolator, the GT, the XR, the X-Club or the X-Pro.
 
The GT Battery Isolator from CARTEK is a very small and highly reliable alternative to the traditional mechanical master-switch and has been designed to overcome all of the problems and restrictions associated with mechanical and electro/mechanical safety cut-outs. When fitted to a race car our Solid State Battery Isolator simultaneously isolates the battery and kills the engine immediately when triggered in accordance with FiA safety regulations.
This system has been designed to simplify installation thereby saving time and reducing build costs.
Features:
Fully electronic with no moving parts
Totally sealed against water and dirt
Completely resistant to shock and vibration
Fully integrated with built in alternator run-down circuitry - No extra components required
Driver operation by a single internal ON-OFF button/switch
External operation by single or multiple 'strike' button(s)
Buttons / switches connected to Isolator using light weight wiring
Mounts close to battery for reduced cabling
Very small and weighs just 120g
Designed and manufactured in UK using high quality components
 
The XR Battery Isolator is the latest generation of motorsport master-switch devices from CARTEK. At 30% smaller size and 40% lighter weight than the previous ‘standard’ and GT isolators, this XR version offers even more benefits and performance when compared with traditional mechanical master-switches and electro/mechanical safety cut-outs.
TO ONLY BE USED WITH MOTORSPORT ECU OR PDM
Features:
Fully electronic with no moving parts
Totally sealed against water and dirt
Completely resistant to shock and vibration
0.5 second delay between transmitting the engine kill signal and disconnecting the battery allowing ECUs time to perform a shutdown sequence before electrical power is lost.
Fully integrated with built in alternator run-down circuitry
Driver operation by a single internal ON-OFF button/switch
External operation by single or multiple 'strike' button(s)
Buttons / switches connected to Isolator using lightweight wiring and IP67 sealed connector
Mounts close to battery for reduced cabling
Very small and weighs just 70g
Designed and manufactured in UK using high quality components.
 
The CARTEK Battery Isolator X-Club is designed to be cost effective option - optimised for race and rally cars running production based engines that are stock or mild tune, up to 3L capacity and maximum 6 cylinders. Improved performance and diagnostic features than previous generation GT and XR.
