DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Main diagnostic feature of the EPM is a bicolored
(amber, green) LED located on the side of the device.
The EPM manually connects and automatically
disconnects batteries after 3 minutes unless emer-
gency flashers are on.
EPM also allows batteryless operation until vehicle is
shut off.
