BEP Emergency Parallel Switch - 12/24V - 500A

The Emergency Parallel Switch - 12/24V - 500A is a robust motorized switch designed for marine and boating applications. It provides a remotely activated, high-current emergency parallel connection, ensuring reliable starting of large engines in critical situations.

Reliable Emergency Starting

This switch facilitates emergency starting of large engines, delivering up to 2500A for 10 seconds. The parallel connection can be easily activated via a momentary button on the dashboard, allowing batteries to operate in parallel for 10 minutes. After this period, the switch automatically disengages, preventing potential battery drain from prolonged parallel operation.

Marine-Grade Construction

Engineered for the harsh marine environment, the Emergency Parallel Switch features tinned copper conductors, stainless steel nuts, and high-temperature, fiber-reinforced plastics. These materials ensure durability and longevity, even in demanding conditions. Additionally, the switch is ignition protected and offers both on/off switching operations, with options for recessed or surface mounting based on installation preferences.

Features

• Dual Voltage Operation: Compatible with both 12V and 24V systems (requires both battery banks to be the same voltage).
• Manual Override: Provides the option to manually override the automatic parallel function.
• Timed Emergency Function: Remotely activated parallel connection lasts for 10 minutes without relying on voltage-sensitive triggers.
