Detailed description

The BEP Push Button Switch On/Off 12V Red (ref. 80-511-0001-00) is a robust control component for 12V marine electrical systems. Its latching action provides reliable on/off switching, while the integrated red illuminated ring offers a clear status indicator or backlighting, essential for night use. With an IP67 rating, it resists temporary immersion and water spray, making it suitable for exposed dashboards on motorboats and sailboats.

Construction and marine reliability

Designed for demanding marine environments, this BEP push-button switch uses stainless steel components and silver alloy contacts for long life and corrosion resistance. Unlike standard switches from brands like Carling or Cole Hersee, the BEP 80-511-0001-00 stands out with its integrated red illuminated ring, which can be wired to indicate circuit power-on or serve as simple backlighting. Its 5A switching capacity makes it an ideal choice for signaling loads, lighting, or relay control, rather than direct power circuits.

Installation and integration

Panel mounting is simple and secure, thanks to a clamping nut. This model is part of a range of BEP switches that includes variants with different illuminated ring colors (red, green, blue) and matching warning buzzers. While it can be used as a replacement for older switches, it is particularly suited to new installations where immediate visual feedback of circuit status is required. The switch is supplied alone, without a connector or harness, so direct wiring of the wires is required for integration.

Expert opinion

Pol CONIN

Digital Manager

« A robust and illuminated marine switch for control circuits »

The BEP Push Button On/Off 12V Red is a reliable and well-built dashboard switch, ideal for signaling, lighting, or relay control applications in marine environments. Its IP67 rating and silver alloy contacts make it a durable component, capable of withstanding moisture and splashes. The red backlit ring is a practical feature for quick identification of the circuit state, day or night. At 5A, it is not designed to switch direct power loads but excels in secondary control roles. Installation is standard, but plan to solder or crimp your own connections, as it does not come with a connector. It is a solid choice for a professional dashboard.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What is the operating type of this switch?

This switch is a push-button model with an on/off (ON/OFF) function. Pressing it activates the circuit, and pressing it again deactivates it.

What is the required supply voltage for this switch?

This switch is specifically designed to operate with 12V electrical systems.

What color is the ring illumination of the switch?

The switch features a red ring illumination.

What is the purpose of the red ring illumination?

The red ring illumination improves the visibility of the switch, particularly in low-light conditions or at night. It can also serve as a visual indicator of the switch's state (on/off) depending on the wiring.

Is this switch suitable for marine use?

Yes, as a BEP product, this switch is designed for nautical applications and should therefore offer some resistance to marine environments. For precise details on its ingress protection rating (IP), please refer to the product datasheet.

How is this switch connected to the electrical system?

BEP push-button switches of this type are typically equipped with rear terminals for cable connections. These terminals may be Faston spade terminals or screw terminals, allowing connection of the main circuit and the illumination power supply.

Is it possible to install this switch on an existing dashboard?

Yes, this switch is designed for flush mounting. Installation requires cutting the panel or dashboard to insert the switch body, which is then secured in place.

What tools are required to install the switch?

For a typical installation, you will need basic tools such as a drill with a hole saw or a spade bit matching the switch mounting diameter, tools for stripping and crimping wires, and possibly a screwdriver.

Is this switch compatible with 24V systems?

No, this switch is specifically designed for 12V electrical systems. Using it with a voltage higher than 12V could damage the switch and connected components.

Can I use this switch to control any 12V equipment?

Yes, you can use it to control any device operating at 12V, provided the operating current of the device does not exceed the switch's maximum rated capacity. It is critical to check the current specifications of both the switch and the device to ensure safety and compatibility.

Is the switch easy to use?

Yes, as a push-button switch, it provides simple and intuitive activation with a single press. The red ring illumination also makes it easier to locate and use.

What is the purpose of the on/off function of this switch?

The on/off function controls the electrical power supply to a connected circuit or device. Pressing the button once activates the circuit (ON), and pressing it again deactivates it (OFF).

Is this a momentary or maintained switch?

This switch is a maintained (latching) model. This means a press activates the switch and holds it in the ON state until a second press deactivates it (OFF).

Does the backlighting work independently of the switch state?

The backlighting behavior (always on or on only when the switch is in the ON position) will depend on the wiring diagram chosen during installation. It can be wired in different ways depending on your needs.

Are there other illumination colors available for this switch?

This specific model (SKU 80-511-0001-00) features a red ring illumination. Other references in the BEP range may offer different illumination colors, but this version is exclusively red.

Is this switch supplied with a wiring diagram?

BEP switches are generally supplied with basic mounting and wiring instructions to facilitate installation. It is advisable to consult the documentation provided with the product for detailed wiring diagrams.

What is the required mounting depth for this switch?

The required mounting depth for this switch is a critical technical specification that depends on the design of its body and the space needed for rear connections. This information is essential to ensure correct installation in your panel. Please refer to the product datasheet for precise dimensions.

Is this switch splash-proof?

Designed for marine use by BEP, this switch is generally built to withstand splashes and water spray. To determine its exact water resistance level (IP rating), please refer to the product's detailed technical specifications.
