Description

The Master Relay is a battery isolator that goes much further than just safety in mind. It has been designed with the sole purpose of a motorsport environment. Utilising solid state switching components, the Master Relay has excellent temperature resistance, as well as an aluminium enclosure that is lightweight and robust in even the harshest motorsport environment.
The Master Relay not only has built in engine shutdown functionality in accordance to FIA regulations, it also incorporates alternator load dump protection unavailable on most rival devices. This helps to avoid nasty voltage spikes often seen when disconnecting the battery source whilst the alternator is still charging.
The device can safely shut down the vehicle under a number of different events including: external kill switch press, over current / short circuit, over temperature, and can even be shut down via a remote CAN message. For example, in the event of a severe impact or an overturned.
When connected to a data logger on a CAN bus, the Master Relay provides valuable information about the current, voltage and internal temperature, as well as diagnostic information that makes finding problems a lot easier. As well as transmission to a data logger the Master Relay has a multi-coloured LED that shows a unique colour combination for each of the 10 different states. The driver switch can also be connected with an LED to show when the battery is isolated.

Safety Precautions

These instructions provide vital information to the safe and desired installation of the Master Relay. Please ensure you are familiar with the entire process before installing this device into your car. Failure to comply with these instructions could damage the Master Relay or other components in the vehicle.
The Master Relay must be completely disconnected before any welding is conducted on the installed vehicle.
The Master Relay should always have the PDM output connected and correctly shutting the engine down. Failure to do so could damage not only the Master Relay but also other computers connected in the vehicle such as ECUs, displays, control units etc.
While all efforts are made to ensure the accuracy of the information in this manual, no
responsibility will be taken for the consequences of any omissions in this manual.

Installation

Mounting

The MSEL Master Relay has two tags designed for mounting the device to a flat surface. The spacing between the mounting holes is 84mm (see Drawing for details). The location of the Master Relay, as well as the total current load, can have significant effect on the internal temperature of the Master Relay. Where possible try to mount the Master Relay away from significant heat sources.

Electrical Connection

The Master Relay is connected between the positive terminal of the battery and the rest of the vehicles positive power supply. The device should be positioned as close to the battery as possible, keeping the positive lead as short as you can. See the Connection Diagram for a typical installation.
ENSURE THAT THE GROUND CONNECTION IS MADE BEFORE CONNECTING THE
BATTERY AND VEHICLE TERMINALS.

Power Studs

The battery and output terminals are copper plated M6 studs. Care should be taken to ensure that cables are insulated from the housing and neighbouring studs. It is recommended to use the supplied nut caps with insulated lugs, or for maximum protection, rubber insulating boots can be used on each stud.

Interface Connector

All low current connections are made through a single 6-way Souriau mil-spec connector; keeping things tidy, protected and allowing for quick removal / installation.
The mating connector (Souriau 8STA6-04-06SN) can be purchased individually for custom installs or a breakout harness with DTM connectors is available for generic installs.

Switch Connection

The Master Relay is controlled by two types of switch, the driver kill switch and the external kill switch.

Driver Kill Switch

The driver kill switch is generally operated from within the vehicle and is the main control for the battery isolation. Generally, just a single driver kill switch is used, however multiple switches can be wired as shown in Multiple Switches, the extra switch could be hidden and used as an additional security measure.
Wiring of the driver kill switch is carried out as shown in the Connection Diagram. The switch used should be of a latching type (either toggle or push button). When the switch is in the off position there should be an open circuit between the two terminals. One side of the switch connected to pin 2 of the Master Relay connector, and the other side is connected to ground.
An LED can be added to the circuit as shown in Figure 2. This LED will be on solid when the device is in the normal state, flash when the battery is isolated, and be turned off when the driver switch is off.
Figure 2: LED indicator wiring

External Kill Switch

The external kill switch allows remote triggering of the Master Relay. It is often mounted on the exterior of the vehicle and indicated by a red lightning bolt on a blue triangle. Multiple external switches can be wired as shown in Multiple Switches. If an external switch is not required, pin 3 of the Master Relay connector should be permanently connected to ground.
Wiring of the external kill switch is carried out as shown in the Connection Diagram. The switch used should be of a momentary non-latching type with a normally closed (NC) configuration. When the switch is pressed there should be an open circuit between the two terminals. One side of the switch is connected to pin 3 of the Master Relay connector, and the other side connected to ground.
Multiple Switches
Multiple external kill switches can be connected in series provided that when all switches
are in the ‘ON’ position there is continuity between the input to the Master Relay and ground. When any switch is in the ‘OFF’ position the connection to ground should be open
circuit. See Figure 3 for examples of multiple switch configurations.
Page 7
Master Relay - User’s Manual 5
Figure 3: Example multiple external switch configuration

PDM / ECU Connection

Pin 4 of the Master Relay connector provides a logical output for a PDM / ECU allowing engine shutdown functionality in accordance with FIA rules. The drive of this output can be configured in the combinations shown in Table 2 below. The device ships standard with configuration 0 (active high, half bridge). In this configuration when the Master Relay is in an ‘On’ or ‘Normal’
state the output is connected to the battery supply, and when ‘Off’ the output is connected to
ground.

In order to change the output drive to one of the other configurations please refer to Changing the PDM Output Drive Configuration, or specify your requirements when purchasing.
The PDM / ECU output is short circuit protected and current limited to 200mA. To drive larger loads an external relay is recommended.

CAN Bus Connection

To receive status and channel information from the Master Relay it must be connected to a compatible device on the same CAN bus. Examples of these include a data logger, dash display, or ECU. The Master Relay transmits two messages on a configurable address and is compatible with most CAN capable data loggers on the market. For further information on the format and transmission refer to the CAN Communications section.
The Master Relay does not have any internal termination resistors and therefore requires 100R termination resistors at each end of the CAN bus.

Normal Operation

The battery is connected to the output and the device is operating normally.

Normal Operation (CAN Error)

The device is operating normally; however, the CAN bus has been unresponsive for more than 2 transmission cycles. CAN communications have been disabled until the CAN bus is back online (this is checked every 5 seconds).
Over Temperature Warning
The device temperature has exceeded the warning temperature (90°C). The device will continue to function normally; however, the temperature is getting close to the device limits. This should be remedied to avoid undesired performance and/or potential damage.
Once the fault is remedied the device will automatically return to normal operation.
Low Voltage Warning
The device voltage has dropped below the lower warning limit (7V). The device will try to continue to function normally, however the voltage is getting close to the device limits. This should be remedied to avoid undesired performance and/or potential damage.
Once the fault is remedied the device will automatically return to normal operation.
Page 9
Master Relay - User’s Manual 7

High Voltage Warning

The device voltage has exceeded the upper warning limit (28V). The device will try to continue to function normally, however the voltage is getting close to the device limits. This should be remedied to avoid undesired performance and/or potential damage.
Once the fault is remedied the device will automatically return to normal operation.

Battery Isolated

Driver Kill

The driver kill switch has been turned off or the connection has broken. The battery is disconnected and the indicator will be solid red.
The device will remain in this state for 30 seconds before entering a low power state. To return to normal operation a reset is required (see Resetting the Device).

External Kill

The external kill switch has been triggered or the connection has broken. The battery is disconnected and the indicator will be flashing red.
To return to normal operation a reset is required (see Resetting the Device).

CAN Kill

A CAN message has triggered a shutdown. The battery is disconnected and the indicator will be solid blue. See CAN Shutdown for further details on the CAN kill function.
To return to normal operation a reset is required (see Resetting the Device).

Over Temperature Kill

The device temperature has exceeded the maximum allowed temperature (110°C). The battery is disconnected and the indicator will be flashing red and blue.
Once the fault is remedied the device will automatically return to normal operation.

Power On Reset

The device has been powered on with the driver & external switches on. The battery remains disconnected and the indicator will be solid purple.
To return to normal operation a reset is required (see Resetting the Device).

Over Current Kill

The device temperature has exceeded the maximum allowed current. The battery is disconnected and the indicator will be solid yellow.
Check for any short circuits between the output terminal and the chassis ground. To return to normal operation once the fault is remedied, a reset is required (see Resetting the Device).
Page 10
8

Resetting the Device

Once the device has been triggered by one of the 5 faults (external kill, driver kill, CAN kill, over-current kill or over-temperature kill) the device will remain in the off state until reset. The LED indicator will show the current fault as outlined in LED Indicator States.
Once the fault has been remedied the device can be reset by cycling the driver kill switch off and then back on.

Load Dump Protection

The Master Relay has on board circuitry that will help protect sensitive electronic devices in the event of a shutdown during engine operation. The PDM output will be turned off immediately therefore stopping the engine. However, the battery is not disconnected until the alternator is no longer charging. This avoids the situation where the alternator may still be generating as the battery is disconnected, resulting in voltage spikes as large as 120V that can damage sensitive electronic components.
The Master Relay has a 5 second timeout where by even if for some reason the battery is still being charged it will be disconnected regardless (this can be extended by specifying a longer shutdown delay, see Shutdown Delay).

Shutdown Delay

The Master Relay can be programmed to delay switching the battery power off to allow for diagnostic data logging. The shutdown delay is in addition to the load dump protection delay described in Load Dump Protection. Therefore, the battery is guaranteed to be connected for the duration of the shutdown delay, except for an over current event where the battery is disconnected immediately to prevent potential damage.
The recommended procedure for this is to use a PDM or ECU to shut down the engine and disable everything except the data logging systems. This allows these devices to receive the shutdown event information and store it before shutting down.
The table below indicates the recommended delay times for different data logging systems:
Table 4: Recommended shutdown delay times

All devices are shipped with no additional shutdown delay, in order to activate this feature please request it at the time of purchase, or program the desired delay as described in Changing the CAN Baud Rate & Shutdown Delay.
Page 11
Master Relay - User’s Manual 9

Temperature Monitoring

The Master Relay has an on-board temperature sensor for monitoring the internal temperature of the unit. The temperature is transmitted on the CAN bus as well as used internally to isolate the battery in case of excessive temperatures. A warning is displayed on the LED indicator at 90°C (flashing blue) and the device is shut down at 110°C with a blue/red indication on the LED.
The device will automatically attempt to restart when the temperature drops back down below 100°C, or with a device reset (and temperature is below 110°C).

Load Current Monitoring

The Master Relay has internal bi-directional current sensing for the load to / from the battery. This current is transmitted as part of message 1 on the CAN bus (see CAN Communications).
The load current is designed as an indication of the total system draw and is accurate to ±10% or 1A (whichever is greatest). It is not intended to be used for detailed, smaller current draw analysis. The Master Relay should be used in conjunction with a PDM for accurate measurement of current for individual devices.
The Master Relay has integrated short-circuit protection and will isolate the battery in the event of a major short circuit on the main output terminal.

Power Saving Mode

After 30 seconds in the Driver Kill mode the Master Relay will enter a power saving mode. In this mode the following functions of the device are turned off to save power.
• CAN transmission is disabled
• The LED indicator is turned off
• Temperature and load monitoring are turned off
• The microcontroller is put into a standby state
The device resumes operation as soon as the driver switch is turned on again.

CAN Communications

The Master Relay comes preprogramed with a baud rate of 1 Mbps. The user can configure the device to a baud rate of 500 Kbps or 250 Kbps as detailed in Changing the CAN Baud Rate & Shutdown Delay, or alternatively request these settings at the time of purchase.

Message Format

The Master Relay transmits status and information on the CAN bus over two addresses. These addresses are defined by the base CAN address (Default: 0x6E4). This can be configured using the process detailed in Changing the base CAN Identifier, or alternatively by requesting a particular address at the time of purchase.
Table 5 & Table 6 below show the format of the transmitted channels. Each message is transmitted at a rate of 10Hz, and all multi-byte channels are in Big-Endian format (MSB first).

This feature can also be programmed to work with a MoTeC Accident Data Recorder (ADR) and trigger after a severe event. To enable this feature set the CAN Kill Enable byte to ‘2’, and the CAN Kill address to the address of the status information transmitted by the ADR (default is 0x449). See Setting up CAN Shutdown for further instructions.
Please check previous logged data carefully to ensure that the severe event
threshold in the ADR doesn’t false trigger on normal impacts such as ‘curb strikes’.

Setting up CAN Shutdown

The CAN shutdown function is disabled by default. This configuration can be changed using any CAN bus interface device capable of transmitting a message onto the CAN bus. The following procedure enables / disables the CAN shutdown function of the Master Relay, as well as sets the address for shutdown commands to be received. For more information on how to use the shutdown once enabled, please refer to Configuration Format.
1. Configure the CAN interface device to transmit a single message on address 0x789
