Detailed description

The Multipurpose Contact Output from Mastervolt is a DC relay controlled via the MasterBus data bus. It allows remote control of 12/24 V equipment up to 1 A, such as a fan, a sound alarm, or a generator, based on configurable network events. This module is a simple and reliable solution for adding automated control functions to your onboard electrical system.

A programmable relay for onboard automation

Unlike a standard relay, this module integrates into the MasterBus network and can be controlled by any compatible device (Mass charger, MasterShunt, DC Distribution). It enables automation scenarios: triggering a battery compartment fan when the charger is in fault, activating a sound alarm in case of low battery level, or controlling a generator contactor. The Multipurpose Contact Output offers timing functions (min/max operating time) and a one-second start pulse, essential for certain generators. It stands out from more comprehensive I/O modules (such as the MasterBus Analog Interface) due to its simplicity and low cost, being dedicated to a single switching function.

Simplified installation and integration

The module mounts on a 30 mm DIN rail and connects to the MasterBus network via the supplied cable and connector. Its compact size (66 x 78 x 32 mm) and low power consumption (132 mW) make it discreet and economical. Installation consists of connecting the data bus and wiring the circuit to be controlled to the screw terminal block (dry contact NO/NC/COM, 1 A / 30 V DC). Event configuration is performed via a MasterBus display or the MasterAdjust software. The package includes the screw terminal block, MasterBus cable, MasterBus terminator, and user manual.

Expert opinion

« A small smart relay for the MasterBus network »

The Multipurpose Contact Output is a small, highly practical module for adding a controlled switching function to a MasterBus network. It is not a groundbreaking product, but a reliable and proven building block. Its main advantage is its simplicity: it replaces a conventional relay with programmable control logic. It is ideal for simple tasks such as managing a battery compartment fan, activating an alarm, or controlling a small contactor. Note that its dry contact is limited to 1 A; it is not designed to switch high power directly. For this purpose, it should be used to drive a more powerful contactor. It is an excellent complement to Mass chargers and MasterShunt battery monitors for creating basic automation without breaking the bank.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

How to install the Multipurpose Contact Output on my MasterBus network?

Installing the Multipurpose Contact Output is straightforward. It mounts on a 30 mm DIN rail. Connect the MasterBus cables to the dedicated connector, then wire your equipment (fan, alarm, etc.) to the screw terminal, respecting the labels: input (1), normally closed output (2), and normally open output (3). The relay’s maximum current is 1 A.

Is this module compatible with all Mastervolt chargers?

Yes, the Multipurpose Contact Output is compatible with Mastervolt chargers equipped with the MasterBus data bus, such as the ChargeMaster or Mass Charger. It can be configured as a Charger Status Interface (CSI) to trigger an action in case of a fault.

What is the maximum voltage the relay contact can handle?

The potential-free contact of the Multipurpose Contact Output can handle a maximum voltage of 30 V DC and a maximum current of 1 A. It is designed for 12 V or 24 V systems.

Can I use this module to control a generator?

Yes, this is a typical use case. The Multipurpose Contact Output can be configured to start and stop a generator. It includes a 1-second start pulse option required by some generators, as well as minimum and maximum runtime delays.

What types of equipment can I order with this contact output?

You can order any 12/24 V equipment drawing less than 1 A, such as a battery compartment fan, a buzzer, an alarm, a generator set contactor, or a power supply. The relay is a dry contact (NO/NC/COM).

How to set the minimum runtime for the relay?

Configuration is done via the MasterBus menu. You can enable the 'Min. runtime' option and set the duration between 15 minutes and 45 days. The factory setting is 15 minutes.

Is this module compatible with the MasterShunt?

Yes, the Multipurpose Contact Output is compatible with the MasterShunt. You can, for example, configure an event so the relay activates when the battery level is low, to start a generator.

What is the IP protection rating of this product?

The Multipurpose Contact Output has an IP21 protection rating, meaning it is protected against access to hazardous parts with a finger and against vertically falling water droplets. It is suitable for installation inside the boat, in a dry location.

Can I change the device name in the MasterBus network?

Yes, you can customize the device name. By default, it is called 'DC Relay', but you can rename it with up to 12 characters via the configuration menu.

What does the LED indicator on the module mean?

The communication LED lights up when the relay state is 'activated' (Activate). It allows you to visually verify if the relay is operational.

Can the Multipurpose Contact Output be used with a 24 V system?

Yes, the module is designed for 12 V and 24 V systems. The relay contact supports up to 30 V DC, making it perfectly suitable for 24 V installations.

How to reset the Multipurpose Contact Output to factory settings?

Factory reset is typically performed via the MasterBus configuration software. Refer to the user manual for the exact procedure, as it may vary depending on the firmware version.

Can I use this module as an interface for a battery level alarm?

Yes, this is a common application. By configuring an event on a MasterShunt or another battery monitor, you can make the Multipurpose Contact Output trigger a visual or audible alarm when the battery voltage reaches a critical threshold.

Is the product delivered with the MasterBus cable and connector?

Yes, the delivery includes a MasterBus cable, a MasterBus connector, a screw terminal block, and the user manual. All the necessary components for basic installation are provided.

How to configure a one-second start pulse for a generator set?

In the Multipurpose Contact Output configuration menu, enable the 'Puls. (1sec)' (1 sec pulse) option. This will generate a one-second pulse when the relay is activated, which is required for some generator starters.

Can I use this module to control a battery compartment fan?

Yes, this is a typical use case. You can configure an event on the Mass charger so that the relay activates a fan when the charger is running or in fault mode, to vent gases.
