Cole Hersee’s FLEXMOD™ VOLTAGE SENSING RELAY & TIMER (VSRT) conserves the starting power of a vehicle battery by shutting off auxiliary loads when either starting voltage drops to a low level, or a preset timer times out. Excessive battery discharge is a problem that is sometimes unavoidable, particularly for law enforcement and emergency vehicles. When an emergency vehicle is left idling with active warning lights and other onboard loads, a battery deficit can still arise, and the vehicle cannot be restarted. The FlexMod VSRT is ideal for fire, police, and emergency vehicles. www.colehersee.com. (617) 268-2100.
