The BEP 701S is an ultra - compact mini battery selector switch. It's the smallest on the market, with the same size as the 701, and comes with removable side plates and a back cover. While BEP Marine recommends isolated battery systems, the 701S provides an easy and cost - effective way to separate two batteries. Key specs: 200 Amps DC continuous rating, 300 Amps DC intermittent rating, 1000 Amps DC cranking rating, 48 Volts DC voltage rating. It has a 1 - 2 - Both_off selector operation, can be recessed or surface - mounted, and features 3 x 5/16' termination stud size. The copper studs and nuts are tin - plated, and it's ignition - protected. Dimensions are 69 x 69 x 75H mm (2.75 x 2.75 x 3H').
Using the BEP 701S Mini Battery Selector Switch is a breeze. First, decide how you want to mount it - you can either recess it or mount it on the surface. Then, connect the batteries to the appropriate terminals with the 3 x 5/16' studs. Use the 1 - 2 - Both_off selector to choose the battery configuration you need. When using, make sure the voltage doesn't exceed 48 Volts DC. Don't let the current go over the continuous rating of 200 Amps DC for long - term use, or 300 Amps DC for intermittent use. For maintenance, check the tin - plated copper studs and nuts regularly for any signs of corrosion. If you notice any, clean them gently. Also, keep the switch in a dry place to prevent damage. And always ensure it's ignition - protected when in use.
