Description
ML-Series Automatic Charging Relay – 12V DC / BS-7620
500 Amp magnetic latching (bi-stable) relay automatically combines batteries during charging and isolates batteries when discharging and when starting engine.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Includes ML-Series Remote Control Contura Switch PN 2146.
- Automatically manages the charging of two large battery banks.
- Allows paralleling of battery banks for emergency starting.
500 Ampere continuous rating to support high-output alternators. - Magnetic Latch (ML)—ACR draws very low current (<40mA to monitor terminal voltage) in the "ON" or "OFF" states, and draws moderate current for very short time when changing state.
- Dual sensing—senses charge on both battery banks.
- Start Isolation (SI)—can be configured for temporary isolation of House loads from Engine circuit during engine cranking to protect sensitive electronics.
- Engine Isolation (EI)—can be configured for isolation of two engines while both are running to protect engine electronics and maximize alternator output.
- Senses charging on two battery banks.
LED output to remotely indicate when batteries are combined, isolated, in voltage lockout, or in Start or Engine isolation. - 3/8″-16 tin-plated copper studs for maximum conductivity and corrosion resistance.
- 7/8″ (22mm) stud length accepts multiple cable terminals.
- Silver alloy contacts provide high reliability for switching live loads.
- Label recesses for circuit identification.
