BEP Marine 275A Cont Motorized Dual Operation Voltage Sensitive Switch with Deutsch Connector

275A Cont Motorized Dual Operation VSS (Voltage Sensitive Switch) - Deutsch Connector

These Voltage Sensitive Switches (VSS) automatically sense connected battery bank voltages and provide optimal, efficient charging of the second bank. The VSS allows for independent battery banks to be combined or isolated based on the presence of a charging source (such as an engine alternator or battery charger), while also offering remotely activated, high current, emergency parallel connection.

Features:

• Deutsch Connector
• Dual battery sensing
• Manual override option
• Designed and constructed for longevity in the marine environment with tinned copper conductors, stainless steel nuts, and high temperature, fiber reinforced plastics

Features (Engine Run Sensing):

VSS will engage when the voltage on either start or house battery reaches 13.7 volts. If the combined battery voltage drops below 13.0 volts and the engine is not running, after 5 seconds the contacts will open and stay open until the start or house battery voltage exceeds 13.7 volts. If the combined battery voltage drops below 12.2 volts and the engine is running, after 5 minutes the contacts will open and stay open until the start or house battery voltage exceeds 13.7 volts. If voltage drops below 13 volts and stays above 12.2 volts on either start or house battery while engine is running, the VSS will stay engaged.

Features (Remote Emergency Parallel Function):

• The 701-MDVS-D can be operated through a momentary button on the dash which will parallel the batteries for a present time of 10 minutes Once this 10 minutes has passed, if the voltage is up high enough for the voltage sensitive switch to operate, it will stay engaged. If not, it will disengage
• The advantages of using a high current VSS is that it will cover your dual battery charging requirements and emergency parallel operation in one unit

The BEP Marine 275A Cont Motorized Dual Operation Voltage Sensitive Switch (VSS) is designed to optimize dual battery management in marine applications. Featuring a Deutsch connector, this high-current switch automatically detects the voltage levels of connected battery banks to facilitate efficient charging and isolation. Its advanced sensing capabilities ensure that batteries are appropriately combined or separated based on real-time voltage, improving overall battery longevity and system reliability. This unit’s construction incorporates tinned copper conductors, stainless steel nuts, and high-temperature fiber-reinforced plastics, making it durable for harsh marine environments. The VSS can manually override its automatic operation via a remote button, allowing for emergency parallel connection up to 10 minutes, which is essential during critical situations. The switch’s continuous rating of 275 amps DC and intermittent rating of 455 amps DC provide ample capacity for demanding marine power systems. Additionally, it features engine run sensing that activates or deactivates the switch depending on battery voltage levels and engine status, ensuring optimal power distribution while protecting battery health. The robust stud size of 3/8 inch and protected ignition circuitry further enhance its suitability for marine use, offering both reliable performance and ease of installation. Whether used for routine dual battery management or emergency power bridging, the BEP Marine 275A VSS is a versatile and durable solution for marine electrical systems.
