Blue Sea Systems 7700 User manual

The ML-Series Remote Battery Switch/Solenoid Switch provides high-current carrying and
switching under load. The Remote Battery Switch/Solenoid Switch is installed close to the battery banks.
A single pole double throw (SPDT) Control Switch Panel, or two momentary push button switches, operate
the Remote Battery Switch/Solenoid Switch. Control Switches are installed in a convenient location near
other electrical controls or companionway (see Illustrations on reverse).
The Manual Control Override Knob provides (Remote Battery Switch Only):
• an added level of safety that allows manual ON-OFF control with or without power
• LOCK OFF for servicing the electrical system
A remote LED (sold separately) indicates a closed connection between battery bank and load, or between
two battery banks when used as an emergency cross-connect.
Remote Operation.The momentary (SPDT) (ON)-OFF-(ON) Remote Control Contura Switch can
provide cross connect and/or battery isolation. The Control Switch should be mounted in a convenient loca-
tion near helm controls to allow for quick access.
Emergency Manual Control Override Operations (Remote Battery Switch Only)
* If the Control Switch is held ON or OFF for 5 seconds, the internal coil protection will engage and the
Remote Battery Switch/Solenoid Switch will not respond to further remote input for approximately
10 seconds.

• Magnetic Latch—draws no current in ON or OFF state, only draws current when changing state of switch
• Silver alloy contacts provide high reliability for switching live loads
• Manual control override knob provides an added level of safety allowing control with or without power, and
offering LOCKED OFF capability for servicing (Remote Battery Switch ONLY)
• LED output to remotely indicate switch state
• Tin-plated copper studs for maximum conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Label recesses for circuit identication

OverviewofApplication
To connect battery bank to load, or combine
battery banks
Momentarily depress control switch actuator to “ON”.
Remote LED indicates closed connection.*
To disconnect battery bank from load, or
isolate battery banks that are connected
Momentarily depress control switch actuator to “OFF”.*
To connect battery bank to load,
or combine battery banks
With Override Knob in (REMOTE position),
push button until latched (Push to Latch On).
To disconnect battery bank from
load, or isolate battery banks that
are connected
Rotate Override Knob to right to release button
from Latch On mode (button pops up). Rotate
Override Knob to left (REMOTE position).
To prevent remote operation Rotate Override Knob to right
(LOCK OFF position).
To secure for servicing With Override Knob in (LOCK OFF position),
pass cable tie through hole.

Installation Instructions
Installation Instructions
Mounting
Install as close as possible to battery bank. To avoid corrosion to connecting wires and terminals, mount in
a dry and protected location. Avoid mounting directly above vented lead acid batteries so that the Remote
Battery Switch/Solenoid Switch is not exposed to corrosive gasses expelled from the batteries.
High Current Primary Circuit Connections (studterminalsAandB)
For help selecting the appropriate wire size and circuit protection rating, go to www.bluesea.com and click the
Circuit Wizard quick link.
NOTE: Stud terminals A and B are interchangeable. The load can be connected to A or B; the battery bank
can be connected to A or B.
Toconnecthighcurrentcircuitwires:
1. Connect the battery bank to one of the stud terminals marked A or B.
2. Connect the load to the other stud terminal marked B or A.
3. Torque the high current terminal stud nuts to 140 in-lbs (15.8 N•m) maximum.
NOTE: If switching an inverter, windlass, bow thruster, etc., the circuit wires must have circuit protection to
comply with ABYC guidelines. Wires used for engine starting do not require circuit protection.
Control Circuit Connections (wirescontainedinthewireharness)
NOTE: The Remote Battery Switch/Solenoid Switch is designed to be controlled by momentary SPDT switch,
(included), or two momentary push button switches. Use minimum 16 AWG wire for the Control Circuit.
ToconnectDCpowertotheRemoteBatterySwitch/SolenoidSwitchControlCircuit:
1. Connect the red wire through a 10A (min) circuit protection device to DC+. The power source should be
a direct connection to the battery.
2. Connect the black wire to DC ground.
ToconnectthemomentarySPDTConturaControlSwitch:
1. Connect the common load terminal of the Control Switch, pin 2, through a 2A (min) circuit protection device
to DC+. Use a 24-hour power source (connected directly to the battery).
2. Connect the brown wire to the CLOSE side of the Control Switch, pin 3.
3. Connect the orange wire to the OPEN side of the Control Switch, pin 1.
4. Connect the LED power terminal of the Control Switch, pin 8, through 2A (min) circuit protection
device to DC+. Note:Thisconnectioncansharethesamewire/fuseasstep#1above,(seediagram).
5. Connect the LED Ground terminal of the Control Switch, pin 7, to the yellow wire of the
Remote Battery Switch.

These instructions are intended to provide assistance with the installation of this product, and are
not a substitute for a more comprehensive understanding of electrical systems. We strongly
recommend that a competent electrical professional perform the installation of this product.
The illustrated wiring diagram represents a common installation and is not meant to be a guide for wiring
a specic vessel. The wiring diagram shows a single battery bank installation.
Disconnect all negative battery connections before beginning the installation.
All unused control wires should be carefully insulated from each other and from accidental contact
using heat shrink tubing or electrical tape. External contact or shorting between control wires can lead
to malfunction.
