Panou de siguranțe Contura 4 poziții

Yes, this panel is designed to be water-resistant with an IP66 rating on its front face. This means it can withstand powerful water jets, salt spray, rain, hose-downs, and even brief immersions, making it ideal for exposed marine applications.

The panel is made from a 5052-H32 aluminum alloy with a thickness of 2.54 mm (0.100"). For enhanced corrosion resistance, it features a textured two-component polyurethane finish (white/black color) and MIL-SPEC C-5541 chemical treatment.

The maximum cumulative current rating for this breaker panel is 45 amperes.

The panel is fitted with four Contura rocker switches of ON-OFF type. Each switch includes an LED indicator to show the circuit status.

Yes, the built-in circuit breakers are push-button type and are resettable. They are also protected by waterproof caps for increased durability in marine environments.

Yes, the panel comes with 60 different base labels to easily identify and customize each circuit.

The LED indicators integrated into the switches have a nominal lifespan estimated at 100,000 hours at half-life.

To install this panel, the cutout in the mounting surface must measure 112.27 mm (4.420") in width and 114.30 mm (4.500") in height. A cutting template is provided to facilitate this step.

Yes, if the front face of the panel is likely to be exposed to water, it is essential to seal it properly to the dashboard surface. A sealing gasket is included and must be installed, then the panel must be firmly screwed in to ensure optimal watertightness.

The main positive power cable (red) must be sized for a 3% voltage drop at the panel’s rated capacity (45 amperes) or the maximum current to be carried, whichever is lower. For a typical 12V installation with a 3-meter (10-foot) cable run between the panel and batteries, an 8 AWG cable is generally recommended. Consult the wire sizing chart in the documentation for other configurations.

No, this panel must not be installed in explosive environments such as gasoline engine compartments or battery compartments, as the switches are not ignition-proof and may pose a risk.

Each negative wire (yellow) in the secondary circuits must be connected to a negative DC busbar. Blue Sea Systems recommends using products such as the BusBar PN 2301 or the MiniBus PN 2304 for these connections.

It is recommended to use 16 AWG wire to connect the LED negative wire (yellow) to the negative DC ground bus.

Yes, the panel is supplied with the screws needed to secure it firmly to the mounting surface.

Yes, this circuit breaker panel is designed to operate optimally with 12 V DC or 24 V DC electrical systems.

Each switch can handle a maximum of 20 amps for 12-volt systems and a maximum of 15 amps for 24-volt systems.

The panel is supplied with 15-amp push-button circuit breakers. This rating has been selected to cover the vast majority of marine circuit protection scenarios. However, if your circuits require different protection, you may replace them with higher-rated breakers, within the maximum capacities specified (20A for 12V, 15A for 24V per switch).

The weight of the circuit breaker panel is approximately 0.43 kg.
