Installation
Remote battery switch / bistable relay
The TBS Remote Battery Switch (RBS) is an intelligent high current magnetic relay that can handle DC currents of up to 350 amps continuous load.
Use as a remote main switch
The RBS can easily be installed in the engine room or battery compartment, while being controlled from a more convenient location via a small panel-mounted switch. However, the RBS can also be controlled from a battery monitor or a managed lithium battery, for example.
In addition to remote control of the RBS, the top-mounted buttons also offer the option of opening or closing the main contact locally. For external control, the RBS is equipped with a 5-wire interface cable. It can be configured to accept two-wire or one-wire ON/OFF commands for optimum flexibility.
The RBS is a magnetically latching relay, which means that no current is drawn from the battery when the contact is closed. This is a major advantage compared to conventional relays, which require a (sometimes significant) holding current to keep the contact closed.
Another advantage of the RBS is the built-in protection devices. It is protected against high/low supply voltage and high temperature. In addition, there is an intelligent function for automatic fixing of light to medium contact welds. Finally, the RBS is also ignition-protected in accordance with ISO8846.
As a member of the TBS DC Modular family, the RBS can be part of a very compact DC distribution system. The footprint of the RBS is about 50% smaller compared to some competing products, which is perfect when space is at a premium.
The TBS Remote Battery Switch 500A is available in a 12 VDC, 24 VDC and 48VDC version and is controlled by a positive signal
