ABYC limits the number of wires on a single terminal to 4, which can make it difficult to add more electrical loads like stereos, fish finders and GPS. Install an easy access point to add future electrical appliances by pairing a DualBus Plus and a 6006 m-Series ON/OFF Battery Switch. The m-Series ON/OFF Battery Switch offers a method of disconnecting all loads from the battery for storage or in the event of a fire, while the Dual Circuit Plus™ will offer an insulated and compact termination point for both the positive and negative wires when installing additional appliances.
The SafetyHub 150 consolidates ignition protected, high amperage and 24 hour circuit protection into one place near the battery while also providing circuit protection for the 360 Panel feed wire. The 360 Panel provides circuit protection for all medium amperage loads and the ST Blade Fuse Block protects the electronics, as these devices are switched on the device. This example minimizes panel space and consolidates circuit protection to only three places on the boat and achieves a critical safety advantage by ensuring all high amperage cables are protected.
The P12 Battery Charger can be coupled with an Automatic Charging Relay (ACR) to provide advanced charging at or away from the dock. When the P12 Battery Charger is operating, communication with the ACR isolates the batteries so the proper charge profile is applied to each battery. When the AC source is removed, and the engine is running, the ACR will automatically combine batteries to share the charge from the alternator and isolate the batteries when discharging.
The flexibility of the 360 Panel System provides one central location to monitor, distribute, switch and protect the complex DC and AC system on a boat or vehicle. The new P12 Battery Charger Remote LED Display can be mounted in the 360 Panel to conveniently monitor and control the P12 Battery Charger. The 360 Panel can also be designed with control switches for the ML Remote Battery Switches and ML ACR for complete battery management with the touch of a switch. For seamless control of charge management either at or away from the dock, the ML ACR can be coupled with the P12 Battery Charger applying the proper charge from either the AC Battery Charger or from the engine alternator. 360 Panels are available in stock or custom panels that can scale to your needs.
SI-ACR automatically combines batteries during charging, isolates batteries when discharging and when starting engines. The Dual Circuit Plus™ Battery Switch simplifies the switching of two batteries to OFF or ON while still providing battery isolation between the engine and auxiliary battery. The Combine function can be used to parallel the batteries in the event of a low engine battery.
The ML-ACR (Automatic Charging Relay) and ML-RBS (Remote Battery Switch), when paired, offer complete battery management of large battery banks with the push of a button. In addition to automatically sharing the charge from an engine’s alternator between the start and auxiliary battery, the ML-ACR control switch provides momentary battery combining to assist with starting in the event of a low engine battery. Multiple remote battery switches can be easily connected to the ML-ACR with the optional Paralleling Link Bus for a complete remote battery management Subsystem.
For a single battery boat or vehicle, the m-LVD will save power for engine starting. The m-Series ON-OFF Battery Switch provides a disconnect to cut off battery power when the boat is not in use or in the event of a fire.
The ST CLB Circuit Breaker Block offers flexible resettable circuit protection for 6-12 circuits in a surface mount block that is easy to mount in a dry and protected location. A natural companion for waterproof switching is the new WD Switch Only Panel, that will keep circuits protected from spray and offer integrated switch guards to reduce the risk of accidental switching.
The pairing of the new WeatherDeck® Switch Only Panel and the ST Blade Fuse Block with Ground is ideal for small runabouts and RIBS. These boats often require the waterproof switching of the WeatherDeck® Panel, do not require backlighting, and are operated only during daylight hours. Using an ST Blade Fuse Block allows consolidation of all of the boat's circuit protection in a dry and protected location.
The ST Blade Fuse Block can offer a space saving and cost effective solution to adding circuit protection when there are limited available circuit breakers on the distribution panel. A single circuit breaker on a distribution panel can provide the circuit protection for the feed wire to the ST Blade Fuse Block. This is frequently done for electronics that each have their own ON-OFF switch and don’t require the switching offered by a circuit breaker. The 6 or 12 position ST Blade Fuse Block then provides a consolidated location for fuses for each of the electronics.
