Description
This switch boasts several unique features, with the standout being the patented Contour Locking System. This system allows the switch to function as a standalone unit or be locked together with other switches. The control knob can be removed by turning it to a 45-degree counterclockwise position. Additionally, the control knob has an interchangeable labeling system, making it suitable for a wide range of applications (Item #713 or #715).
The switch includes three removable side plates to accommodate up to 1/0 cables. The rear cover insulates the rear terminals, preventing short circuits and ensuring the switch meets ABYC requirements.
The BEP Marine Battery Switch undergoes rigorous testing procedures (UL 1107) for continuous use (1 hour), intermittent use (5 minutes), and cranking (engine starting – 10 seconds). These tests determine the maximum current the switch can handle within the specified times without the rear terminals exceeding 100°C (212°F) above ambient temperature. Continuous and intermittent ratings are tested at 110% of the specified ratings. All BEP switches are independently tested to this specification by a third-party laboratory.
