A Controller that Permits Unattended
Engine Operation but Prevents Unauthorized use of the Vehicle
Simple Installation
Permits Engine to Run with the Ignition
Key Removed
Engine Stops and Cannot be Restarted
if Attempt is Made to Drive Away
This
simple, low cost controller bypasses the ignition switch when activated
by the closure of a momentary switch. The operator may then remove
the ignition key without shutting the engine down. Movement of the
vehicle is prohibited by interlocking the SAFETY LOCK 4 with a switch
operated by the foot brake, a neutral safety switch on the gearshift
or a parking brake operated switch. Operating any one of these will
cause the relays in the SAFETY LOCK 4 to drop out and interrupt the
ignition circuit to stop the engine. The authorized operator need
only insert the key and turn on the ignition to operate the vehicle.
With the key in the lock and turned on, the ignition circuit is completed
as normal and the opening of the SAFETY LOCK 4 relays haS no effect
on engine operation.
The
Safety Lock 4 contains 4 realys to permit energizing 3 auxiliary circuits
in addition to the ignition switch bypass.
