Bep 716-H Horizontal Battery Switch Cluster W/Dvsr

For use on charging systems under 150A. 

Twin battery charging made easy!

Pre-assembled module with solid links and application labels combining three 701 Mini Battery Master Switches with a 100 amp Voltage Sensitive Relay. This system is an ideal replacement for an existing four position battery selector switch, easily connected to the existing wires, to provide a fully automatic battery management system. Provides for isolation of start and house batteries independently with the ability to emergency parallel supply from both.

The VSR will automatically prioritise the charging of the start battery. When the engine is first started the relay is open and remains open until the start battery has reached a preset 13.7 volt. At the rated voltage, the relay closes providing charge to both batteries (start and house). When the voltage drops below 12.8 volt (when the engine is stopped), the VSR disengages, separating the batteries. This system eliminates the possibility of draining the start battery and protects electronics powered by the house battery from harmful engine starting spikes. Available in horizontal, vertical (designated in the on position) or square configuration. An optional recessed mounting plate is also available.

To be used in the following systems:
1. Single outboard dual battery bank
2. Single alternator inboard engine dual battery bank

Dimensions:

276L X 69W x 75H mm
10.9L X 2.7W x 3H inches

DETAILED INFORMATION:

DUAL BATTERY CHARGING MADE EASY! The 716 battery distribution cluster is the optimum battery management system for your single engined boat. The 716 combines 3 of BEP's 701 battery switches and a Digital Voltage Sensitive Relay (DVSR).
The 701 Battery Master Switch offers a number of unique features. The highlights being the contour lock system, allowing it to be locked together with other switches. The 701 also features a control knob which cannot be removed whilst in the On or Off position, however
can be removed by switching to an anti-clockwise 45º position.
The 701 also features a removable rear cover insulating the rear terminals against any short circuits and ensures the switch meets ABYC requirements.

701 specifications:
Continuous rating: 275 Amps DC
Intermittent rating: 455 Amps DC
Cranking rating: 1250 Amps DC
Voltage rating: 48 Volts DC
Operation: On / Off
Mounting: recessed or surface
Termination stud size: 2 x 3/8" (10mm)
BEP Marine Battery Switch Test Procedure (UL 1107)
Continuous (1 hour)
Intermittent (5 minutes)
Cranking (10 seconds)
The test is to determine the maximum current the switch can handle for the stated time, without the terminals exceeding 212ºF (100ºC) above the ambient temperature. The continuous and intermittent ratings are tested 110% of specified ratings.

THE 716 SYSTEM INCLUDES dedicated battery switches for each bank and a 710-100A voltage sensitive relay (VSR). The VSR allows for two batteries to be charged at the same time. When the engine is started, and the start battery reaches 13.7 Volts, the relay closes, Combining the battery banks (start and house) and allowing them to be charged
simultaneously.
When the engine is stopped and the voltage drops to 12.8 Volts, the relay will open seperating the batteries.
This system eliminates the possibility of draining the wrong battery and protects sensitive electrical equipment powered from the house battery from harmful engine start up spikes. The 716 cluster is designed for single outboard or inboard systems on power or sailboats with an alternator size up to 100A.

How to use:
1. When boarding the boat switch the START and HOUSE battery switches to ON. Only use the EMERGENCY PARALLEL battery switch if both batteries need to be combined for emergency starting.
2. Start the engine, when the start battery reaches 13.7 Volts the small red light on the VSR case will illuminate, indicating the VSR is engaged.
3. When an engine is stopped and the start battery voltage drops to 12.8 Volts the light will switch off, indicating the VSR is disengaged.
