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.
Designed and constructed for longevity in the marine environment with
tinned copper conductors, stainless steel nuts, and high temperature,
fibre reinforced plastics. The units are ignition protected, provide
On/Off switching operation, and may be recessed or surface mounted. The
remote emergency parallel function can be operated through a momentary
button on the dash which will parallel the batteries for 10 minutes.
Once this 10 minutes has passed, if the voltage is high enough, the
voltage sensitive switch will stay engaged. If not, it will disengage.
- Dual battery sensing
- Manual override option
- Dual 12/24 volt operation (both banks must be same voltage)
- Low power consumption (<6mA)
- Lowered cut in voltage (13.3/26.6V) suits low output alternators and high temperature environments
