These Voltage Sensitive Switches automatically sense connected battery bank voltages and provide optimal, efficient charging of the second bank. The VSS allows for independent battery banks to be combined or isolated based on the presence of a charging source (such as an engine alternator or battery charger), while also offering remotely activated, high current, emergency parallel connection. Designed and constructed for longevity in the marine environment with tinned copper conductors, stainless steel nuts, and high temperature, fiber reinforced plastics.
The units are ignition protected, provide On/Off switching operation, and may be recessed or surface mounted.
- Dual battery sensing
- Remote emergency parallel function: can be operated through a momentary button on the dash which will parallel the batteries for 10 minutes. Once this 10 minutes has passed, if the voltage is up high enough, the voltage sensitive switch will stay engaged. If not, it will disengage.
- Manual override option
720-MDVSO benefits (ITA000031)
- Dual 12/24 volt operation (both banks must be same voltage)
- Low power consumption (<6mA)
- Lowered cut in voltage (13.3/26.6V) suits low output alternators and high temperature environments
80-701-0018-00 (ITA000019), and 720-MDO-EP (ITA000023): Emergency Parallel Only
- 10 minute remotely activated emergency parallel function (no voltage sensitive function)
- 12/24 volt operation (both banks must be same voltage)
