PRZESTARZAŁY - Solenoid ML 12 V DTM / ATM

The BLUE SEA ML 12V DTM/ATM solenoid (PN 7718100B-BSS) is a device designed for remote power management in marine electrical systems and specialized vehicles. It enables switching of high currents and is particularly suited to installations where direct manual control is not required, providing a remote switching solution for 12V DC applications.

The main characteristic of the magnetic locking system (ML) is its very low continuous current consumption. In ON or OFF state, the solenoid consumes less than 13mA at 25°C and nominal voltage, which is crucial for preserving battery charge over the long term.

This solenoid has a continuous current capacity of 500 amperes, provided suitable wire sizes are used, such as two 4/0 AWG cables (2x 120 mm²).

The BLUE SEA ML 12V DTM/ATM solenoid can handle intermittent currents of 700 amperes for 5 minutes and DC cranking currents of 1450 amperes for 30 seconds when connected with 2x 4/0 AWG (2x 120 mm²) wires.

Yes, the contacts are made from silver alloy for high reliability when switching live loads. It is rated for 10,000 switching cycles under load (300A at 12V DC) and its mechanical endurance reaches 100,000 cycles.

The connection studs are made of tin-plated copper, size 3/8"-16 (M10). Tin-plated copper ensures maximum conductivity and excellent corrosion resistance, essential in marine environments.

Yes, this solenoid is rated IP66. This means it is fully protected against dust and powerful water jets, making it suitable for harsh marine environments.

Yes, the BLUE SEA ML 12V DTM/ATM solenoid meets the external ignition protection requirements of ISO 8846 and SAE J1171. It is also CE-marked, attesting to its compliance with European standards.

The solenoid has an LED output that can be used to remotely indicate the switch state (ON or OFF). This feature allows you to check the solenoid status without having to inspect it visually.

No, the BLUE SEA ML 12V DTM/ATM solenoid (PN 7718100B-BSS) is a solenoid model without a manual override. It is designed for fully remote management, unlike other remote battery switches in the ML series that may include this feature.

The maximum voltage that the contact circuit of this solenoid can withstand is 16V DC.

It is recommended to install the solenoid as close as possible to the battery. This proximity helps minimize voltage drop and optimize the electrical system's performance.

To operate this solenoid, it is recommended to install a single-pole double-throw (SPDT) or single-pole single-throw (SPST) control switch in a convenient location, near other electrical controls or the cockpit, for quick access in an emergency.

The control circuit is connected via a Deutsch DTM Series DTM 06-6S connector. This type of connector simplifies integration into existing systems.

Recommended wire sizes vary depending on the current:

For 1 000A (30 sec), 400A (5 min) and 225A (continuous): 2/0 AWG (70 mm²)
For 1 100A (30 sec), 400A (5 min) and 300A (continuous): 4/0 AWG (120 mm²)
For 1 450A (30 sec), 700A (5 min) and 500A (continuous): 2x 4/0 AWG (2x 120 mm²)

Before starting the installation, it is imperative to disconnect all negative battery connections to prevent any risk of short-circuit or electric shock.

All unused control wires must be carefully insulated from each other and from any accidental contact. It is recommended to use heat-shrink tubing or insulating tape. External contact or a short circuit between control wires can cause malfunction.

No, this solenoid model (PN 7718100B-BSS) is specifically designed for 12V DC electrical systems. For 24V DC systems, you would need to use an ML series model designed for that voltage.

The solenoid uses a Deutsch DTM Series DTM 06-6S connector. The required coupling parts for the harness are:
