Przekaźnik automatycznego ładowania SI-ACR - 12/24 V DC 120 A

The SI-ACR 7610-BSS automatic charge relay (ACR) is designed to optimize the management of dual-battery systems aboard vessels. It automatically combines batteries during charging and isolates them during discharge or engine start, thereby protecting batteries and sensitive electronic equipment from voltage fluctuations.

The SI-ACR 7610-BSS relay has a continuous rating of 120 amperes and an intermittent rating of 210 amperes (for 5 minutes). This makes it suitable for high-output alternators.

Yes, the SI-ACR 7610-BSS relay is designed to operate optimally with 12V and 24V DC electrical systems, automatically adapting to the system voltage.

The start-up isolation (SI) function temporarily disconnects service loads from the engine's starting circuit. This feature prevents voltage drops and spikes that could affect sensitive electronic devices during the start-up process.

The IP67 certification means the relay is protected against temporary immersion up to 1 meter depth for 30 minutes. This allows installation in damp environments or engine compartments without risk of water damage.

The relay should be mounted in a dry, protected location whenever possible to prevent corrosion of the wires and connection terminals. It is also advisable to avoid placing it directly above battery banks.

No, the SI-ACR relay is not designed to handle engine starting currents. For situations where batteries may need to be combined for emergency starting, it is recommended to use a battery switching system with a combine/parallel function.

To activate the start-isolation function, connect a wire from the quick-connect terminal marked SI (start isolation) to the terminal or wire running from the ignition switch to the starter solenoid. This connection must be made via an inline fuse rated 1 to 10 amperes and must be positive only when the starter is engaged and rotating.

Yes, it is possible to connect a remote indicator LED that reflects the state of the LED built into the relay. To do so:

Connect the red wire of the LED to a 12/24V positive source via a 1 to 2 amp inline fuse. Connect the yellow wire of the LED to the quick-connect terminal marked LED on the relay.

For a continuous charging current ≤120 amperes, a minimum wire size of #1 AWG is recommended with a 175-ampere fuse. Larger wire sizes may be required to minimize voltage drop over long distances.

The recommended torque for 3/8"-16 (M10) terminal studs is 140 in-lbs (15.8 Nm). It is critical to adhere to this torque to ensure a safe and reliable electrical connection.

The SI-ACR relay features dual-sensing functionality. This means it can detect a charging source available on either battery bank, ensuring efficient power distribution.

The relay combines the batteries when the voltage at either terminal reaches a charge level. For a 12V system, this occurs if the voltage is above 13.6V DC for 30 seconds, or above 13.0V DC for 2 minutes. For a 24V system, the thresholds are 27.2V DC for 30 seconds or 26.0V DC for 2 minutes.

The relay disconnects the batteries when the voltage drops below a certain threshold, indicating no charging or discharge. For a 12V system, this occurs if the voltage is below 12.75V DC for 30 seconds, or below 12.35V DC for 10 seconds. For a 24V system, the thresholds are 25.5V DC for 30 seconds or 24.7V DC for 10 seconds.

The overvoltage lockout function protects equipment by isolating the batteries if the system voltage exceeds a critical threshold. For a 12V system, the relay opens if the voltage exceeds 16.0V DC.

The relay includes an undervoltage lockout that prevents it from closing if a battery's voltage is too low. For a 12V system, it will not close if the voltage is below 9.5V DC. For a 24V system, the threshold is 19.0V DC. This protects the relay against potential overcurrent surges and allows the weak battery to recover.

Yes, the relay is ignition-protected, making it safe for installation aboard gasoline-powered boats. It meets external ignition protection requirements per ISO 8846, UL 1500, and SAE J1171.

Yes, with a continuous capacity of 120 amperes and an intermittent capacity of 210 amperes, the SI-ACR 7610-BSS is perfectly suited to manage the charging of high-power alternators.
