I too am upgrading my 1315-200 to a Blue Sea 7622. However, I didn't see in any of your photos/discussion where you connected the Isolation #1 (brown wire). Did you connect it to the starter solenoid or the start key switch? The photo of the installed Blue Sea ACR n the firwlewall doesn't identify that wire on the device. Any info/photos on where you attached this wire would be greatly appreciated.<br /><br />Again, great blog.Larry Malcomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13289003848802517281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9075317643215417577.post-88570361460634223312024-02-28T10:32:18.389-08:002024-02-28T10:32:18.389-08:00Thank you.

However, I don't see where you connect the Isolation #1 (brown wire) to in the photos. Did you connect it to the starter as you diagram shows or to the start key switch? Do you have a photo of that connection? I just don't see the wire identified, like the other wires, in the photo with the Blue Sea installed on the firewall.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9075317643215417577.post-85263662862228900732022-10-23T07:58:51.682-07:002022-10-23T07:58:51.682-07:00I have a battery Separator, which is not the same ...I have a battery Separator, which is not the same as an Isolator. The separator has only two connections, one from the alternator and one from the coach battery + connection. The separator has three connection posts: one in the middle from the alternator, one on each side from your chassis battery, and the other from your coach battery. You can replace your isolator with a separator or an ACR relay; connect the wires from the alternator and the chassis battery to the same terminal post of the separator/or ACR relay “B” post then connect the wire from your coach battery to the “A” post. Hope that helps.Roadtrekkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13234957636224626125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9075317643215417577.post-81792863453955906892022-10-22T10:28:41.619-07:002022-10-22T10:28:41.619-07:00On my 2008 Roadtrek 210 popular there is a large r...On my 2008 Roadtrek 210 popular there is a large red wire coming from the Alternator to the center pole of my Isolator what did you do with it?

The Sure Power still works fine but it gets hotter than blazes due to the constant current flow needed by the solenoid. I'm assuming that since the 7622 is a magnetic latching relay requiring mA to remain energized it's going to generate a much lower temperature. Have you found this to be true?<br />ThanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9075317643215417577.post-40168519820534944272018-06-02T14:43:44.137-07:002018-06-02T14:43:44.137-07:00Nice idea using the switch blanks.
