BEP Remote Operated Battery Switch w/Optical Sensor - 500A 12/24v [720-MDO]

The BEP Remote - Operated Battery Switch with an Optical Sensor, rated at 500A for 12/24V systems, is a game - changer for boat electrical setups. The MD series lets you place the switch near the battery, remotely handling high electrical loads on modern boats. This slashes cable lengths and sizes, saving you money and reducing weight. It's perfect for isolating bow and stern thrusters. The 720 - MDO offers both simple standard installation and advanced options to switch different voltage circuits from the main supply. The optical sensor, with easy connection for standard install, can control 36 or 48 - volt circuits. It can switch positive or negative lines and isolate main contacts from the control circuit, allowing operation from another battery source. With low standby current draw (<5mA), it's energy - efficient. Other great features include remote operation, reduced cable costs and labor, a manual override for CE/ABYC compliance, LED status identification, and an interchangeable labeling system. Specifications: Dimensions are 4' x 4' x 4.33', continuous rating is 500A DC, intermittent rating is 700A DC, crank rating is 2500A DC, voltage range is 9.5 - 32V DC, function is On/Off, and stud size is 2x (1/2'/12mm). Warning: This product may expose you to chemicals like di(2 - ethylhexyl)phthalate (dehp), which can cause cancer and other reproductive harm. Check P65Warnings.ca.gov for more info.

Using this battery switch is easy. First, decide whether you'll do a standard or advanced installation. For standard installation, connect the optical sensor following the simple instructions. Mount the switch close to the battery to take advantage of the reduced cable lengths. You can operate it remotely to manage your boat's electrical loads. If you need to, there's a manual override option to meet safety requirements. The LED status indicator on the remote - control switch will show you its operating state. When it comes to maintenance, keep an eye on the cable connections to make sure they're tight and free of corrosion. Check the standby current occasionally to ensure it remains below 5mA. Also, be aware of the warning about the chemicals in the product. If you have any concerns about the chemicals, visit P65Warnings.ca.gov for more details.
