The Eco-Lock B-ECL556-A is an automatic engine stop/start system that provides improved fuel economy, lower vehicle emissions, improved engine life, and extended oil changes by shutting off the engine when appropriate. When enabled by the driver (Transmission in Park), Eco-Lock allows an officer to remove the keys from the ignition and leave the vehicle unattended, but with electrical loads left on (light bar, etc.).
Eco-Lock continuously monitors battery voltages, cabin and 2-way radio temperatures, while securing the vehicle's shift lock, trunk/hatch, and weapons rack. If battery voltages or temperatures move outside of a configurable range, Eco-Lock will automatically restart the engine, charging the battery and enabling AC/Heat as appropriate. Eco-Lock will cycle the engine over time as needed to maintain battery voltages and/or cabin/radio temperatures.
Eco-Lock will automatically shut off the engine if anyone attempts to steal the vehicle by shifting out of Park while the keys are removed (shifter remains locked in Park). Eco-Lock is instantly disabled when the keys are inserted and turned to Run.
Additionally, Eco-Lock can be used on K-9 units to maintain cabin temperatures in a preset range.
For detailed installation instructions and configurable options, please refer to the provided instruction manual.
