BEP Dual Operation VSS Switch Cont Motorized - 12V - 275A [701-MDVS]

The BEP Motorized Dual - Operation Voltage Sensitive Switch (VSS) is a must - have for efficient battery charging. Operating at 12V and rated at 275A, it automatically senses the connected battery bank voltage, ensuring optimal charging of the second bank. It allows you to combine or isolate independent battery banks based on the charging source, like an engine alternator or battery charger. There's also a remotely activated, high - current emergency parallel connection for added safety. Built for long - lasting use in the marine environment with tinned copper conductors, stainless steel nuts, and high - temperature, fibre - reinforced plastics. It's ignition - protected, offers On/Off switching, and can be recessed or surface - mounted. The remote emergency parallel function can be controlled via a dash button for 10 minutes. If the voltage is high enough after 10 minutes, the switch stays engaged; otherwise, it disengages. Key features include dual battery sensing, a manual override option, and low power consumption (<6mA). Technical specs: 12V, 275A rating, and dimensions of 2.7' x 2.7' x 4'. The package includes a parallel switch and an instruction manual. It's sold individually. WARNING: This product exposes you to chemicals like di(2 - ethylhexyl)phthalate (dehp) which may cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. For more info, visit P65Warnings.ca.gov. Other specifications: not lockable, 2 positions, continuous amperage of 275, box dimensions of 3'H x 3'W x 4'L, weight of 0.8 lbs, and UPC 870216038285.

Using your BEP Motorized Dual - Operation VSS Switch is easy. First, connect it to your battery banks according to the instruction manual. The switch will automatically sense the voltage of the connected battery banks and charge the second bank efficiently. If you need to combine or isolate the battery banks, it will do so based on whether there's a charging source present. For an emergency parallel connection, press the momentary button on the dash. This will parallel the batteries for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, keep an eye on the voltage. If it's high enough, the switch will stay engaged; if not, it'll disengage. As for maintenance, since it's built with tinned copper conductors, stainless steel nuts, and high - temperature, fibre - reinforced plastics, it's quite durable in the marine environment. But it's a good idea to check the connections regularly for any signs of corrosion or looseness. And remember, this product contains chemicals that can be harmful, so always handle it with care and follow the safety warnings. If you have any questions, refer to the instruction manual or contact the manufacturer.
