Detailed description

Designed for optimized electrical management aboard, the BEP 275A 32V remote-controlled battery switch provides a main battery disconnection solution. This device is particularly suited to marine installations and recreational vehicles where centralized control and reduced cable lengths are critical. It stands out from traditional manual switches by its ability to be mounted directly near the battery, thereby reducing heavy-gauge cable runs, installation costs, and overall system weight.

Performance and technical reliability

The BEP AD185 battery switch is engineered for demanding applications, offering a continuous DC current rating of 275 amperes and handling an intermittent current of 455 amperes DC for 5 minutes. Its starting capacity reaches 1250 amperes DC for 10 seconds. Operating within a DC voltage range of 9.5 to 32 volts, it is compatible with 12V and 24V systems. Its low power consumption in "off" mode, typically 12 mA, preserves battery charge. The construction features tinned copper conductors, stainless steel nuts, and high-temperature reinforced plastics, ensuring durability in marine environments. The terminals are equipped with two 10 mm (3/8 inch) tinned copper studs. The product is tested to UL1107 ignition protection standards.

Advanced features and integration

This remote-controlled battery switch incorporates key features for safe and efficient use. Its remote operation allows the switch to be positioned in an optimal location, while a manual override option ensures compliance with CE/ABYC requirements in the event of electrical failure. An LED indicator on the control panel (sold separately) provides visual feedback on the switch status. The BEP battery switch is designed for easy integration into digital management systems such as CZone and supports multiple remote switches for the same battery bank. Its "fail-safe" design ensures the switch retains its last state even in the event of power loss or remote control connection failure. The system is also compatible with an interchangeable labeling system (items 713 or 715).

Expert opinion

Pol CONIN

Digital Manager

« Optimizing marine electrical management with the BEP remote-controlled battery switch »

This BEP remote battery switch represents a significant improvement over traditional manual switches, particularly for complex marine installations or vehicles where battery access is limited. Its design allows mounting close to battery banks, minimizing power cable lengths and thus reducing voltage drop, weight, and installation costs. This is a strategic advantage for medium to large boats requiring precise energy management.

The remote control integration provides installation flexibility and increased safety, enabling quick battery isolation from the helm. The integrated manual override is critical for compliance with safety standards and operational reliability in all conditions. Although it is not specifically a CZone-optimized model (like the 701-MDCZ), this battery switch is part of the BEP ecosystem and can be integrated into broader digital architectures, offering useful modularity.

For a successful installation, it is essential to plan appropriate and protected control wiring between the switch and the control panel. This 275A model is well-suited for most service or starter circuits in recreational boats and small professional units. For applications requiring very high currents or more sophisticated management of multiple battery banks, it may be necessary to consider complementary solutions or BEP models with VSS (Voltage Sensitive Switch) features or higher ampacity. Its positioning makes it a sound choice for modernizing an existing electrical installation or optimizing a new project.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What is the primary function of the BEP AD185 remote-controlled battery switch?

The primary function of this battery switch is to provide a remote main disconnect solution. It allows you to cut or restore power to the boat’s or recreational vehicle’s electrical system safely and centrally.

What are the current ratings of this BEP battery switch?

This battery switch BEP is designed to handle:

A continuous DC current of 275 amperes. An intermittent DC current of 455 amperes for 5 minutes. A cranking current up to 1250 amperes for 10 seconds.

What is the power consumption of this battery switch in 'off' mode?

In 'off' mode, this remote-controlled battery switch has very low power consumption, typically 12 mA. This helps preserve the charge of your batteries when they are not in use.

What materials is this battery switch made from to ensure durability in a marine environment?

To ensure durability, particularly in marine environments, this battery switch features tinned copper conductors, stainless steel nuts, and high-temperature reinforced plastics. These materials resist corrosion and harsh conditions.

Is this battery switch protected against ignition?

Yes, this battery switch is tested and compliant with UL1107 ignition protection standards. This feature is essential for safety, particularly in engine compartments where flammable vapors may be present.

What is the size of the connection studs on the terminals of this battery switch?

The terminals of this battery switch are fitted with two 10 mm (3/8 inch) tinned copper studs, designed for robust and reliable connections.

What are the main advantages of a remote battery switch compared to a manual switch?

Main advantages include:

The ability to mount the switch directly near the battery, reducing the length of heavy-gauge cables. Lower installation costs and reduced overall system weight. Centralized control of the electrical power from a practical and safe location, away from the batteries.

Does this battery switch work as a simple On/Off switch?

Yes, this battery switch is designed for a simple and effective On/Off function, allowing you to disconnect or connect the main power supply from the batteries.

What is the model number of this remote battery switch?

The model number of this remote battery switch is AD185, and its barcode is 701-MD.

Which voltage systems is this battery switch compatible with?

This battery switch is compatible with a wide voltage range, operating from 9.5 to 32 volts DC. It is therefore suitable for 12V and 24V electrical systems.

Can this battery switch be used with multi-battery systems?

Yes, this battery switch can be used in multi-battery systems to disconnect one or more main battery banks. It is often used in combination with other switches or systems for complete energy management.

Is this battery switch suitable for recreational vehicles in addition to marine applications?

Yes, although it is particularly suited to marine installations, this battery switch is also ideal for recreational vehicles (RVs) where centralized control and reduced cable lengths are important.

Is it possible to integrate this battery switch into a digital switching system?

Yes, this type of remote battery switch is designed to be controlled remotely, making it compatible with digital switching systems or remote control panels for advanced electrical management.

Where is it recommended to install this remote-controlled battery switch?

It is strongly recommended to mount this battery switch directly near the battery. This installation minimizes the length of heavy-gauge cables, reducing voltage drops, installation costs, and the overall weight of the electrical system.

Is the remote control switch included with the battery switch?

The battery switch itself is the switching unit. The remote control switch (momentary push button or switch) is generally not included and must be purchased separately to complete the installation and enable remote control.

What types of cables are required to connect this battery switch to the batteries?

For battery connections, you will need high-current cables with a large cross-section suitable for 275A DC, fitted with terminals compatible with the 10 mm (3/8 inch) studs of the battery switch. For the remote control circuit, a smaller cross-section cable (e.g., 18 AWG) is generally sufficient.
