This reduces cable lengths and sizes, providing significant savings in expense and weight of copper battery cable. They are ideal for remote isolation of bow and stern thrusters. The 720-MDO has been enhanced to offer easy standard installation, or advanced options capable of switching different voltage circuits from the main supply (for example: a 48 volt bow thruster with a 24 volt house supply). The optical sensor uses the same easy connection for standard installation and gives you the ability to control different voltage circuits such as 36 or 48 volts. It can be used to switch positive or negative lines and the main contacts can be isolated from the control circuit allowing operation via another battery source. This optical sensor also has low stand-by current draw (\u0026lt;5mA).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemote operation\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBattery switch can be mounted alongside battery, reducing cable lengths and cable sizes.

With a rated capacity of 500 amps DC, this switch allows you to remotely control power to critical systems such as bow and stern thrusters, reducing the need for long cable runs and minimizing installation costs. Its compact 4-inch cube design makes it suitable for tight spaces while providing robust performance for both 12V and 24V systems. The switch features a user-friendly LED indicator for status updates and an optional manual override to meet safety standards like CE and ABYC. The optical sensor offers versatile control options, enabling switching of positive or negative lines and compatibility with different voltage circuits such as 36V or 48V, which is ideal for complex marine electrical setups. Its low standby current draw of less than 5mA ensures minimal battery drain during idle periods, enhancing system reliability and longevity. The switch's construction supports easy standard installation or advanced configurations, including switching circuits from different main supplies, making it an adaptable solution for a variety of marine applications. Designed with interchangeable labeling options, the BEP 720-MDO ensures clear identification for easy operation and maintenance. Its durable stud connections and compact form factor make it a practical choice for boatbuilders and marine electricians seeking a reliable, space-saving, and remotely controllable battery switching solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eRemote operation for convenient control from a distance\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eCompact 4-inch cube design for easy installation in tight spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eHigh current capacity of 500 amps DC continuous rating\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eOptical sensor for versatile switching of different voltage circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSupports switching of positive or negative lines\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eLow standby current draw (\u0026lt;5mA) to conserve battery life\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eManual override option to meet safety standards\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eLED status indicators for remote operation monitoring\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eCompatible with standard BEP mounting options and interchangeable labels\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDurable stud connections for secure installation\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BEP Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44530142740522,"sku":"58601","price":201.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/2285\/8794\/files\/58601XL.jpg?v=1783108961","url":"https:\/\/atticusgoods.com\/products\/bep-marine-720-mdo-remote-operated-battery-switch-with-optical-sensor-500a-12-24v","provider":"Atticus Goods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
