Remote-controlled battery switch ML-RBS with automatic trip manual control - 12 V

The BLUE SEA ML-RBS 7713-BSS is a remote-controlled battery switch designed for managing battery banks in marine environments. It allows connecting or disconnecting a battery bank from a load, or isolating connected battery banks. It also includes a manual control with an automatic unlock function for direct operation.

Due to its magnetic latching (bi-stable) design, the ML-RBS 7713-BSS has a very low continuous current draw, under 13 mA at 25°C. It only draws a higher current (under 7 A at 25°C for 20 ms) during state changes (activation or deactivation), which optimizes the system's power consumption.

The ML-RBS 7713-BSS battery switch offers the following current ratings:

Continuous current: 500 A DC
Intermittent current (5 minutes): 700 A DC
Starting current (30 seconds): 1,450 A DC
These ratings are achieved with double 4/0 AWG (2x 120 mm²) cables.

Yes, the ML-RBS 7713-BSS is equipped with a manual control. This feature allows direct ON/OFF switching with or without electrical power, and includes a "LOCK OFF" capability for safe maintenance of the electrical system.

The silver alloy contacts in the ML-RBS 7713-BSS provide high reliability for switching live loads. They ensure consistent performance and increased durability, even when switching high currents.

Yes, the battery switch is designed to resist corrosion. It features 3/8"-16 (M10) tinned copper studs that provide maximum conductivity and excellent corrosion resistance in marine environments.

The ML-RBS 7713-BSS has a mechanical endurance of 100,000 cycles. For load switching, it can perform 10,000 cycles at 300 A under 12 V DC, ensuring long service life even under intensive use.

The ML-RBS 7713-BSS battery switch meets the external ignition protection requirements of ISO 8846 and SAE J1171. It is also CE marked and rated IP66, meaning it is protected against powerful water jets.

The ML-RBS 7713-BSS battery switch should be installed as close as possible to the battery bank. This proximity minimizes voltage drop and optimizes the electrical system's performance.

The 3/8"-16 (M10) tinned copper studs on the battery switch can accommodate 3/8" (M10) cable lugs. The battery switch is designed to handle cables up to double 4/0 AWG (2x 120 mm²) to reach its maximum current ratings.

The ML-RBS 7713-BSS battery switch is equipped with 3/8"-16 (M10) connection studs, providing a robust and reliable connection for battery cables.

The maximum recommended tightening torque for connection studs is 140 in-lb (15.8 N•m). It is important to respect this value to ensure a secure connection and avoid damaging the studs or cables.

Yes, retail units of the ML-RBS 7713-BSS include a remote control switch, model PN 2155. This switch is SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) ON-ON and allows remote control of the battery switch state.

Yes, the ML-RBS 7713-BSS battery switch is rated IP66. This means it is protected against powerful water jets, making it suitable for marine environments where it may be exposed to moisture and splashes.

No, the ML-RBS 7713-BSS is designed and rated for 12V DC electrical systems only. For 24V DC systems, refer to other models in the Blue Sea Systems ML series, such as PN 7717, which are specifically designed for this voltage.

Yes, the ML-RBS 7713-BSS can be used to combine multiple battery banks or to isolate banks that are connected. It provides the flexibility needed to manage the power supply of different battery banks efficiently.

Yes, the ML-RBS 7713-BSS battery switch provides an LED output to remotely indicate the switch state. The PN 2155 remote control switch, included with retail units, also features an LED for this visual indication.

The BLUE SEA ML-RBS 7713-BSS battery switch features a unique manual control that allows direct operation. This function offers several possibilities:

ON/OFF control: You can manually turn the battery switch on or off, whether the system is powered or not.LOCK OFF function: For safe maintenance of the electrical system, you can lock the battery switch in the OFF position.This manual control capability distinguishes it from the solenoid versions of the ML-Series (PN 7718/7719), which do not offer this feature.

For optimal performance and to minimize voltage drop, the ML-RBS battery switch must be installed as close as possible to the battery bank. It is also recommended to install a remote control switch (SPDT or SPST) in a convenient location, near other electrical controls or a passageway, to allow quick access in case of emergency.

The connection studs are tin-plated copper, size 3/8"-16 (M10), and must be tightened to a maximum torque of 15.8 N•m (140 in-lb) to ensure maximum conductivity and corrosion resistance.
