Under the theme “Achieving Success In a Challenging Environment,” Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week 2010 takes place this month in Las Vegas where it is expected to draw thousands of aftermarket distributors, suppliers, shop owners and other industry professionals.
Featuring forums, workshops, business sessions and one-on-one meetings, HDAW brings together all stakeholders in the heavy-duty aftermarket distribution channel. HDAW is organized by the Heavy Duty Manufacturers Association (HDMA), the Commercial Vehicle Solutions Network (CVSN) and the Heavy Duty Distributors Association (HDDA), and is governed and planned by a joint operating committee comprised of representatives from more than a dozen different associations and groups.
Of course, HDAW also serves as a showcase for the latest aftermarket products and services as presented by hundreds of show exhibitors. The following companies will be exhibiting at the show and are featured sponsors of this year’s Truck Parts & Service HDAW Product Showcase.
Compact Low Voltage Switch
The SureStart Low Voltage Disconnect (LVD) Switch electronically senses battery voltage and conserves starting power by disconnecting non-critical loads and preventing battery damage from excessive discharge.
The switch has a rating of 100A at 12V or 24V DC. Its service life exceeds one million on/off cycles, and it also features a manual override function that allows users to connect or disconnect the switch when needed, regardless of voltage. The switch is compact (4.5 x 4 x 4.27 inches) and does not require a separate solenoid to control high current, which makes it easy to install into a new or old vehicle.
The LVD switch eliminates dead batteries by automatically disconnecting non-critical loads from a battery when the battery falls below a predefined threshold. When the battery voltage is restored, the switch automatically restores the functionality of the ancillary equipment. The switch also provides over-current, short-circuit and over-temperature protection.
