BEP Dual Operation VSS Switch HD Optic - 12/24V - 500A [720-MDVSO]

The BEP Dual Operation VSS Switch HD Optic is a remarkable Voltage Sensitive Switch (VSS). It automatically detects the voltage of the connected battery bank, ensuring optimal and efficient charging of the second bank. You can 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 convenience. Built for long - lasting use in the marine environment, it features 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 triggered by a momentary button on the dash, paralleling the batteries for 10 minutes. After that, if the voltage is high enough, the switch stays engaged; otherwise, it disengages. Key features include dual battery sensing, a manual override option, dual 12/24 volt operation (both banks must have the same voltage), low power consumption (less than 6mA), and a lowered cut - in voltage (13.3/26.6V) suitable for low - output alternators and high - temperature settings. Technical specs: 12/24V, 500A rating, and dimensions of 4' x 4' x 4.3'. The package includes a parallel switch and an instruction manual. It's sold individually. Warning: This product may expose you to chemicals like di(2 - ethylhexyl)phthalate (dehp), known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm in California.

Using the BEP Dual Operation VSS Switch HD Optic is easy. First, connect it to your battery banks. The switch will automatically sense the voltage and charge the second bank efficiently. To combine or isolate the battery banks, it'll do it based on whether there's a charging source like an alternator or charger. For an emergency parallel connection, just press the momentary button on the dash. This will parallel the batteries for 10 minutes. After the 10 minutes, if the voltage is high enough, the switch will stay on. If not, it'll turn off. When it comes to installation, you can either recess - mount or surface - mount it. Just make sure to follow the instructions in the manual. Remember, both battery banks should have the same voltage for dual 12/24 volt operation. As for maintenance, keep it clean and check the connections regularly. Since it's made for the marine environment, it's quite durable, but avoid exposing it to extreme conditions. And be aware that this product may expose you to harmful chemicals, so take necessary precautions as per the warning information.
