Egis Automatic Charging Relay Plus - 160A - 24V

The Automatic Charging Relay Plus - 160A - 24V is an indispensable component for marine and boating electrical systems. It ensures reliable battery performance by intelligently managing the charging distribution between multiple batteries, preventing dead-start situations, and optimizing your vessel's electrical efficiency.

Applications

• Supports multiple engines or independent charge systems by incorporating two independent start or engine isolation inputs. This allows for the isolation of charge sources when both are active, maximizing charging performance.
• Protects your boat's electrical system from cascading faults with an optional lock-out feature, preventing the relay from closing if one terminal is connected to a battery with a shorted cell.

Features

• Ultra-Low Power Draw: With an off-state current draw of only 1.3 mA, this relay ensures your boat's batteries remain charged even during extended periods of inactivity, unlike typical ACRs that draw between 7-10 mA.
• Easy Installation: The integrated sealed plug eliminates corrosion, and the included Deutsch/Amphenol DTM connector harness allows for seamless integration into your marine electrical system.
• Start Assist Input: Ensures maximum cranking amps are available by allowing manual connection of batteries via a remote switch, providing reliable starting power for your engines.
• Durable Construction: Built with a sealed unit, stainless steel hardware, and high-temperature materials, this relay is designed to withstand harsh marine environments. It also includes integrated thermal overload shutdown protection for added safety.
• Additional Outputs: Features a low-amp output that can report device status remotely or drive a secondary relay for charging an additional battery bank without a charge source.

Key Features

Top Side Dip Switches

Accessible after mounting, these dip switches allow you to program voltage settings and determine active features. They are protected by a self-retained cover, ensuring durability and ease of use.

Stainless Steel Self-Locking Hardware

Constructed with 100% non-ferrous, corrosion-resistant materials, all attachment screws and nuts are self-locking. This ensures a secure installation, even in the harshest marine environments.

Integral I/O Connector

The sealed Molex MX-150 connector prevents corrosion and avoids the loosening issues common with 1/4" quick connect terminals found on competitive products. This ensures a stable and reliable connection.

Versatile Connection Options

Comes standard with a Deutsch DT/AT style connector harness, providing three connection options: MX-150, DT/AT, and wire leads. This flexibility allows for easy integration with various marine electrical setups.

Easy Integration with RT Fuse Blocks (24 HR Circuits)

Optional EasyLink bus bars reduce the space and cost associated with connecting TH Series relays with RT Series fuse blocks, streamlining your vessel's electrical system.

LED Diagnostics

Multiple LED indicators provide real-time status updates, including relay ON/OFF states, under voltage, over voltage/temperature conditions, start isolation/assist status, and output ON/OFF status. This feature facilitates easy monitoring and troubleshooting.
