Description
SMART CLAMPS
These are replacement mini clamps for use with the Micro-Start SPORT and the ORIGINAL models of the Micro-Start XP-1 and XP-3. The SMART jumper Clamps have multiple built-in protections, and offer an upgrade over the standard clamps that came with the Micro-Start models mentioned above.
1. REVERSE POLARITY PROTECTION
Protects from connecting the Smart Clamps in reverse polarity. The clamps will not allow User to Jump Start and will Notify User with RED LED Flashing.
2. SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION
If the Smart Clamps touch or are connected together accidentally the clamps will disconnect immediately and not allow Short-Circuit.
CAUTION
3. REVERSE CURRENT PROTECTION
If the clamps are left on the vehicle, the Reverse Current protection will not allow a Back-Charging into the MICRO-START. In any case we still suggest never leaving the unit connected to a vehicle more than 30 seconds after a Start.
4. OVER CURRENT PROTECTION
If the Current exceeds 600 amps the Smart Clamps will shut down automatically protecting the unit from damage.
5. OVER DISCHARGE PROTECTION
When the output voltage of the MICRO-START is less than 10 Volts the clamps will not allow jump starting or further amperage discharge from the clamps.
