PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Muirhead®Overcrank Protection controller, part number 11966, is designed to be installed onto machines
to protect the starter motor from over-cranking.
The overcrank protection controller will stop the engine starter motor being cranked for an excessive amount
of time and provides a cooling down period between long cranking.
FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS
■Multi-voltage 12-24 V
Environmentally sealed – IP65
Overcrank visual warning
Protects starter circuit from unnecessary damage caused by overcranking
Overcrank timeout function
Compact and robust design

M0879.docx | Rev 1.6 | Modified on 11/01/2018 | © Remote Control Technologies Pty Ltd
OPERATION AND USE
The overcrank protection controller will allow the operator to crank the vehicle for a maximum of 30 seconds
(adjustable) after which the output is turned off. If the crank time exceeds 10 seconds (adjustable), there is a
lockout period of 60 seconds (adjustable) before it can be cranked again. An LED (usually mounted in the
instrument panel) will illuminate during this time to indicate that the start circuit is in lockout.
The bypass switch functionality has been designed so that maintenance staff can perform tasks without being
inhibited by the overcrank protection controller. When the bypass switch is on, the controller will allow the
operator to crank the vehicle for as long as necessary.
The timings mentioned above are the default time settings. Refer to the Calibration section of this manual if
you require different time settings.
CONTROLLER STATUS INDICATOR OPERATION
STATE INDICATOR SEQUENCE
Battery Power-up ■All indicators will turn on.
■All indicators will turn off.
■After power-up, the controller will revert to normal operation.
Status Indicator in Operation RED – Fault.
■If outputs have problems, this will turn on.
■Outputs 1 & 2 – high current outputs: checked for over current.
■Output 3 – not checked as it is a low side driver.
■Output 4 – checked for correct output voltage.
■Temperature – checked for board temperature exceeding 80 °C.
YELLOW – Pulses during normal operation, indicates system OK.
■Flashes on and off at one-second intervals (on for one second, off for
one second).
GREEN – On for normal operation.
■Flashes when valid input goes active (number of flashes = input
number).
■Allows checking that inputs are correctly wired and that the hardware is
seeing the input toggle.

INSTALLATION GUIDE
WARNING!
A RELAY IS REQUIRED IN THIS SYSTEM AS A FAIL TO SAFE CIRCUIT. FAILURE
TO INCLUDE A RELAY IN THE CIRCUIT MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE
ENGINE AND/OR COMPONENTS.
1. Install the control unit, relay and bypass switch in a suitable location, preferably in the cabin.
2. Refer to the wiring table below and the wiring diagram in this manual to connect the controller. It is
recommended that the wiring is installed alongside the OEM wiring ensuring that it is secured at regular
intervals; this will provide protection from heat and abrasion, and any other excess damage that may occur
with extended vehicle operation. When securing the wiring to the OEM wiring, ensure that the loom is
away from moving vehicle parts which could lead to loom damage.
3. Mount the LED in a suitable location that is visible to the operator.
4. Remove the engine start/crank wire from the ignition switch and connect it to terminal 87 of the relay.
5. Connect the yellow wire (pin 8) to terminal 30 of the relay, run a second wire from the engine start/crank
terminal of the ignition switch and connect the other end to terminal 30 of the relay. There should now be
two wires connected to terminal 30 of the relay.
6. Connect the yellow/blue wire (pin 3) to terminal 86 of the relay.
Note: It is recommended that a suppression diode be fitted across all inductive loads
