BEP Marine 720-MDO Remote Operated Battery Switch with Optical Sensor, 500A

Optimize your boat's electrical system with the BEP Marine 720-MDO remote operated battery switch. Designed for modern vessels with increased electrical loads, this innovative switch allows for flexible installation near your battery, significantly reducing cable lengths, weight, and overall installation labor. It's an ideal solution for remote isolation of high-current components like bow and stern thrusters. Built for longevity in the harsh marine environment, it features tinned copper conductors, stainless steel nuts, and high-temperature, fiber-reinforced plastics. Upgrade your vessel's power management for enhanced safety and efficiency.

Key Benefits & Specifications:

• Remote Operation with Optical Sensor: Allows installation directly alongside the battery, minimizing expensive cable runs. The advanced optical sensor enables control over different voltage circuits (e.g., 48V thrusters with a 24V house supply) and can switch both positive or negative lines.
• Robust Power Handling: Delivers a continuous rating of 500A DC, an intermittent rating of 700A DC (for 5 minutes), and a cranking capacity of 2500A DC (for 10 seconds), ensuring reliable power for demanding marine applications.
• Wide Voltage Compatibility: Supports 9.5-32V DC systems, with auto-sensing for 12V or 24V inputs, offering versatility for various vessel configurations.
• Low Standby Current Draw: Consumes less than 5mA when off, preserving battery life during periods of inactivity.
• Manual Override & Safety Compliance: Features a manual override option to meet essential CE and ABYC safety requirements.
• Marine-Grade Durability: Constructed with tinned copper conductors, stainless steel nuts, and high-temperature, fiber-reinforced plastics for exceptional corrosion resistance and extended lifespan in harsh marine conditions. It is also ignition protected, meeting UL1107 standards.
• Compact & Versatile Mounting: With dimensions of 4" x 4" x 4.33" (102 x 102 x 110 mm), it offers both surface or rear panel mounting options for flexible installation.

Recommended Pairings:

• Integrates seamlessly with BEP's interchangeable labeling system (Item # 713 or 715) for clear identification.
• Can be operated with BEP dash-mounted remote control switches or any standard on/off switch.
