Features & Benefits
Unit disconnects non-critical loads when battery voltage
falls below threshold, reconnects when battery is recharged.
Unit is auto-ranging: identifies whether system is 12V or 24V,
and automatically establishes thresholds. One part number;
two voltages. 100A at 85ºC, 125A at 60ºC.
Part number
Eliminates dead battery service calls and lost time. Extends
battery life by preventing irreversible damage due to excessive discharge.
48513-01 LVD & harness
48513-02 LVD with harness
and 58326-06 Rocker Switch
No action is required by vehicle operator to protect the
batteries – unit automatically disconnects and reconnects,
giving operator a warning one minute before disconnect.
250mA alarm signal can drive audible or visual systems or
any large device via a relay. Optional manual override
feature.
48513 LVD
Programmable LVD
Can be mounted in harsh environments – sealed to IP67,
with sealed Deutsch connector. Solid state reliability and
resistance to vibration – replaces vulnerable conventional
solenoids. Unit exceeds one million cycles and is protected
from over-temperature, overcurrent, overvoltage, and
under-voltage. Minimal draw on battery (only 1mA standby).
Parameters to fit your application can
be custom-programmed into 48713 LVDs
by selected distributors. Contact Cole
Hersee for a list of distributors.
Protects vulnerable onboard electronics such as GPS,
phone, computer. Solid-state switching creates less
electrical noise and interference, and eliminates spikes.

How a Low Voltage Disconnect works
LVD simplifies your wiring
Normal Operation Sequence
The Compact LVD reduces costs by minimizing installation time and complexity, and by significantly reducing the
number of components. The small, lightweight design improves your mounting options, and eliminates mounting trays.
Reduced number of wires gives a significant boost in reliability. Solid state switching in the compact LVD protects
expensive electronic equipment by protecting from damage due to noise, electromagnetic interference and overcurrent.

When the vehicle has been running, the alternator
has charged the battery, and the LVD is connected.

When the cutoff voltage is reached, the LVD activates
the alarm circuit for 1 minute. Alarm can be an audible
or visual device, or if a relay is used, it can be almost
any powered device.

When the vehicle is restarted, the battery is recharged

If the operator does not push the Manual Switch to the B+
position during the alarm time, the LVD will disconnect,
shutting off non-critical loads. If the operator actuates the
Manual Switch, the LVD goes into a 15 minute ‘alarm snooze’
and afterwards returns to auto-sensing mode.
