Battery Switch - manual

Wiring

Wire the Battery Switch into the electrical system as follows:

  • Disconnect the positive battery terminal.

  • Mount the Battery Switch onto the desired surface (surface mount) or panel (rear panel mount).

  • Remove the appropriate side-plate for cable access. Do not remove the side-plate facing upward as water may get in from the top.

  • Use 120mm² (4/0 AWG) cables on all terminals to meet the Battery Switch current rating.

  • Connect one terminal to the positive battery cable. Connect the other terminal to the positive cable of an alternator, load circuit or second battery (depending on installation type).

  • Make sure that all nuts and locker washers are properly attached and the nut is tightened with a recommended torque of 8Nm (maximum 12.5Nm).

  • Reconnect the positive battery terminal.
