Description
For any vehicle that needs to use two batteries where one battery is used for starting the engine. while the other is used to power auxiliary loads. This is a common situation in trucks. boats. RVs. police and rescue vehicles. and in ambulances or fire equipment. A selector switch allows use of the first battery. the second battery. or both batteries simultaneously. This provides back-up starting power in an emergency.
These switches combine the functions of Battery Selector and Master Disconnect Switches to give four battery power options:
- Power cut off at the source
- Power On. Battery 2
- Power On. Battery 1
- Power On. both Batteries
Battery selector switches provide a positive battery disconnect. which has many advantages:
- It gives a reliable shutdown of power during maintenance
- The version with the key protects against theft of the vehicle. when unattended
- It helps protect against electrical fires. when the vehicle is not in use. and minimizes battery drain
- Rating: 500A intermittent. 310A continuous. 6-36V DC Electrical ratings on UL labels are conservative. Electrical Ratings Labeled UL 707B
- Use with either alternators or generators.
- Make before break design permits operation through the three On positions with the engines running. Engines should always be shut down before turning to Off.
- Heavy-Duty Construction Vaporproof. weather-. dust- and corrosion-resistant.
- Durable. fracture-resistant high temperature plastic case. knob and insulator.
- Switches conform to USCG section 183.410 for ignition protection.
- Resistant to impact. and temperature extremes.
- Heavy duty copper stud terminals. with brass hexnuts.
- Can be surface mounted. or installed through a 3 5/16"" diameter hole in the panel.
- Dimensions: Flange: 6"" (152.4mm) diameter. overall height 2 5/8"" (66.7mm).
- Terminals: 3 copper studs. 3/8"" (9.5mm) diameter. Offsite info on Marine Power Generation Offsite info on Marine Dual Battery Wiring
