Self-Canceling Turn-Signals...

We build a lot of functionality into ISIS.  One system can work for a broad range of cars and other vehicles.  We make our standard front-engine configuration for our 3-Cell Kit as inclusive as possible.  With no changes, you can use it to wire a kit car, a muscle car, a hot rod or a race car. 

One example is turn-signals.  Built right into our standard front-engine configuration is the ability to operate your directional indicators with complete flexibility. 

Self canceling turn signals are used where the car doesn’t have a steering column with a mechanical canceling mechanism. This is common in most Cobra kit cars and late 1960’s British cars. These cars usually have a toggle switch on the dash with a position for left and right. After you complete the turn, you needed to manually turn off the directional switch.
With our self-canceling turn signals, you have a momentary switch for left and right. When you push the switch in one direction, the outputs on the front and rear POWERCELLs will flash for that direction. They will continue to flash for approximately 15 seconds, then turn off. We build some intelligence into this part of the system. The turn-signal bulbs will not self-cancel while your foot is on the brake pedal. Imagine you are waiting at a traffic light waiting to make a right turn. You press the switch for the right turn-signal. Those lights will flash for as long as your foot is pressing on the brake plus 15 seconds. The light turns green, you take you foot off of the brake pedal and roll into your turn. When you make the turn, the right turn signal lights turn themselves off. This is build directly into ISIS and requires no external modules to make it happen.
