💡 Tip

Choose the appropriate version for your application: BP701 for surface mounting, BP701-PM for panel mounting, or BP701-MD for remote operation. Always switch the main power switch to Off when the boat is not in use for extended periods. The removable side panels should be installed after installation to protect the connections. Ensure adequate ventilation. Combine with BEP busbars and fuse holders for a professional, complete system.

⚠️ Important

During installation, ensure correct polarity and use adequately sized cables (rated for at least 275A). The switch should be installed as close to the battery as possible. Tighten the connections securely to avoid contact resistance. Never switch off the main switch while the engine is running – this can damage the alternator. Install the protective plates after installation. Regularly check the switch's function and condition.

Ideal for

• Boat owners who value ease of use
• Panel installation in switchboards
• Space-saving installations
• Sailors with longer layover periods
• Motorhome drivers with seasonal operation
