The MD range of battery switches is a great solution for today's increased load requirements and high copper battery cable costs. Install the battery switch close to the battery to cut down on cable lengths to the starter motor. Ideal for remote isolation of bow thrusters. Key features include remote operation, allowing the battery switch to be mounted next to the battery, which reduces cable lengths and sizes to the starter motor, saving you a lot on copper cables. Shorter battery cable runs also mean less installation labor. It has a manual override option to meet CE requirements. The power draw is low: 12mA when switched off, 15 mA when switched on, and 120 mA for 3 seconds during operation at 12 v nominal. There's an LED status identification for the remote control switch. It has the same capacities, specifications, and mounting options as standard BEP battery switches and uses the same interchangeable labeling system. Specifications: High-Current Remote Operated Battery Switches, all recessed or surface mount, tin-plated copper studs & nuts, ignition-protected. Part No. 701-MD has dimensions of 2.7 x 2.7 x 4 inches, a continuous rating of 275 Amps DC, an intermittent rating of 455 Amps DC, a cranking rating of 1250 Amps DC, voltage of 9.5 - 32 V(DC), On / Off function, and 2 x (10 / 3/8) stud size. Part No. 720-MD has dimensions of 4 x 4 x 4.33 inches, a continuous rating of 500 Amps DC, an intermittent rating of 700 Amps DC, a cranking rating of 2500 Amps DC, voltage of 9.5 - 32 V(DC), On / Off function, and 2 x (12 / 1/2) stud size.
Using the BEP 701MD Mini Battery Switch is easy. First, mount the switch as close to the battery as possible. This will help reduce cable lengths to the starter motor and save you money on copper cables. You can operate the switch remotely or manually if needed. The LED status identification on the remote control switch will show you the switch's status. When using the switch, make sure the voltage is within the specified range of 9.5 - 32 V(DC). As for maintenance, keep the switch clean and dry. Check the connections regularly to ensure they are tight. If you notice any issues like abnormal power draw or loose connections, have it checked by a professional. Remember, the switch has a manual override option to meet CE requirements, so use it if necessary.
