BEP Dual Operation VSS Switch HD Optic - 12/24V - 500A

The Dual Operation VSS Switch HD Optic is an essential component for marine and boating battery management, ensuring optimal power distribution and efficient charging between multiple battery banks. With robust construction and advanced features, it provides reliable performance even in the harshest marine environments.

Key Features

• Dual Battery Sensing: Monitors both primary and secondary battery banks for precise voltage control.
• Manual Override Option: Allows for flexible control over battery connections when needed.
• 12/24 Volt Operation: Compatible with both 12V and 24V systems, provided both battery banks operate at the same voltage.
• Low Power Consumption: Consumes less than 6mA, ensuring minimal drain on your system.
• Lowered Cut-In Voltage: Features a cut-in voltage of 13.3V for 12V systems and 26.6V for 24V systems, ideal for low output alternators and high temperature environments.

Advanced Charging Management

This Voltage Sensitive Switch automatically detects the voltage levels of connected battery banks and optimizes the charging process between them. Whether powered by an engine alternator or a battery charger, the VSS ensures that each battery bank is efficiently charged without overloading the system.

Durable Marine Construction

Designed for longevity in marine settings, the Dual Operation VSS Switch HD Optic features high-quality materials such as tinned copper conductors, stainless steel nuts, and high-temperature, fiber-reinforced plastics. These components resist corrosion and withstand the demanding conditions of marine environments.

Emergency Parallel Connection

The switch includes a remote emergency parallel function that can be activated via a momentary button on the dashboard. This feature will parallel the battery banks for 10 minutes, providing a temporary boost. If the system voltage remains sufficient after this period, the VSS will stay engaged; otherwise, it will automatically disengage to protect your batteries.
