Smart voltage sensing
S art charging aybe referred to as ‘battery

In these syste s, when driving the vehicle alternator is
periodically disconnected fro the battery to increase
econo y.
Your Teal sink will have 3 wires connected.

•0V - Black. To vehicle battery negative.
•White signal wire (W.W.). When the W.W. receives a
positive signal, the sink will switch on.
The ost co on connection for the W.W. is at the
ignition fuse, though alternative connection points ay
be used. Do not connect the W.W. to other vehicle
syste s that ight have alternate power e.g. alar s as
the Teal sink ay not switch o.
The unit will switch o (regardless of W.W. voltage) when
less than 11.9 volts are detected, thus preserving the
battery’s integrity.
Consult the vehicle handbook as to how to connect the
Red/Black wires to the battery as direct connection to the
battery ter inals can defeat the ‘battery anage ent
syste ’ – if tted.
Voltage sensing
In these syste s the alternator will charge the battery
whenever the engine is running.
Your Teal sink will have 2 wires connected.
•12V + Red. To vehicle battery or auxiliary battery.
•0V - Black. To vehicle battery negative.
The White signal wire is unused.
The unit will switch on when it detects a voltage above
13.8 volts and switch o below 12.8 volts.
