Egis Programmable Automatic Charging Relay (ACR) 160A, 12V

The Programmable Automatic Charging Relay (ACR) 160A, 12V is an essential component for maintaining the health and performance of your boat’s electrical system. Designed specifically for marine applications, this high-capacity charging relay ensures seamless power management between multiple batteries, preventing dead starts and optimizing charging efficiency for your vessel.

Key Features

• High Current Capacity: Supports continuous current of up to 160A, ensuring efficient power distribution and charging for multiple boat batteries.
• Ultra-Low Power Consumption: With an off-state current draw of only 1.3 mA, this ACR prevents battery drain during extended periods of inactivity.
• Programmable Settings: Easily adjustable voltage settings via top-side dip switches, allowing customization to match your boat’s specific electrical requirements.
• Robust Marine-Grade Construction: Sealed unit with stainless steel hardware and high-temperature materials, built to withstand the harsh marine environment.
• Integrated Thermal Protection: Features thermal overload shutdown to safeguard against overheating and potential system failures.
• Multiple Connection Options: Comes with a Deutsch DT/AT style connector harness and offers MX-150, DT/AT, and wire lead connections for versatile installation.
• LED Diagnostics: Provides real-time status indicators for relay operation, voltage levels, and system alerts, ensuring easy monitoring of your electrical system.

Applications

• Multi-Engine Boats: Manages charging systems for multiple engines, allowing independent start or engine isolation inputs to maximize charging performance.
• Battery Bank Management: Shares charging between dual battery setups and isolates them when no charge source is present, preventing dead start batteries.
• Electrical System Protection: Protects against cascading faults with an optional lock-out feature that prevents relay closure if a battery terminal is shorted.
