Introduction: The Motorised Battery Switch (701-
MD) has the same mechanism as the well proven
701. The essential difference being the switching
action has been motorised.
This permits switching of battery banks remotely.
A typical installation is a key operated switch at
the helm station and the motorised battery
switch installed as close as practical to the battery
bank. (Part No for key switch: 722-KS or any
other standard On/Off switch)
Apart from the convenience of such an
installation, this arrangement permits much
shorter cable runs to starter motors and other
high current applications such as bow thrusters
and inverters. As a result voltage drop and
use of heavy cable has been kept to minimum. .

•Intermittent rating: 455 Amps DC
•Cranking rating: 1250 Amps DC
•Maximum Voltage: 32 Volts DC
•Operation: Manual On/Off
Motorised On/Off
•Mounting: Recessed or surface
•Auto operating range 8 to 30 Volts DC
•Ignition protected
•Stud Size: 2 x 10mm(3/8”)
•Tin plated copper studs and nuts
•Power draw:

If fitting cable in excess of 50mm the cable
must be strain relieved with an absolute
maximum of 00 or 70mm.

General Operation: The Motorised Battery Switch, (701-MD) has two modes of operation.
Auto and Manual. There is a LED located on both the battery switch and key switch (722-KS),
Indicating Battery Switch status.
Auto Operation: The 701-MD moves
from a state of “Auto Off” to “Auto On”
when the remotely mounted switch is
turned on. During the time that the battery
switch is in “Auto On” mode, the“Auto On” LED
is illuminated.
Auto operation of the Battery Switch is not
possible whilst in manual mode. If auto
operation is attempted, the LED will flash
for 3 seconds then stop. Knob must be
returned to “Auto Off” before normal
auto operation can continue.
Auto Mode LED Indications:
LED OFF: Battery switch is off
LED ON: Battery switch is on
LED FLASHING: LED flashes whilst moving
between auto on and auto off.
LED Rapid Flash: On 0.1 sec & Off 0.1 Sec:
Voltage is outside specification i.e. Less than
8 Volts or greater than 30 Volts
Manual Mode LED Indications:
LED OFF: Battery Switch is off
LED ON: Battery Switch is on
Manual Operation: The automatic
operation of the 701-MD battery switch
can be overridden at anytime by depressing
the control knob and turning clockwise
towards the “Man On”position or counter
clockwise towards the “Man Off”position.
During the time that the Battery switch is in
“Man On”mode, the “Man On”LED is
Illuminated. Refer Fig 1 for reference.
Battery Switch Labels.
The Motorised battery switch is supplied with
a generic battery label.. A range of the most
commonly used labels can be ordered
separately. Part No. 713

Introduction: The Remote Electric Disconnect Switch has the same mechanism as the well proven
20387. The essential difference being the switching action has been motorized.
Specications:
Continuous Rating: 275 Amps DC
Intermittent Rating: 455 Amps DC
Cranking Rating: 1250 Amps DC
Maximum Voltage: 32 Volts DC
Operation: Manual On/Off
Motorized On/Off
Mounting: Recessed or Surface
Auto Operating Range: 8 to 30 Volts DC
Ignition Protected
Stud Size: 2 x 10mm (3/8”)
Tin Plated Copper Studs and Nuts
Power Draw: Switch in off position: 15mA
General Operation: The Remote Electric Disconnect Switch has two modes of operation. Auto
and Manual. There is a LED located on the battery switch that indicates the battery switch states.
Auto Operation: The 20370 moves from a state
of “Auto Off” to “Auto On” when the remotely
mounted switch is turned on. During the time
that the battery switch is in “Auto On” mode, the
“Auto On” LED is illuminated.
Auto operation of the Battery Switch is not
possible while in manual mode. If auto operation
is attempted, the LED will ash for 3 seconds then
stop. Knob must be returned to “Auto Off” before
normal auto operation can continue.
Manual Operation: The automatic operation
of the 20370 battery switch can be overridden
anytime by depressing the control knob and
turning clockwise towards the “Man On” position or
counter clockwise towards the “Man Off” position.
During the time that the Battery switch is in “Mad
On” mode, the “Man On” LED is illumincated.
Refer Fig 1 for reference.
Auto Mode LED Indications:
LED OFF: Battery Switch is off
LED ON: Battery Switch in on
LED FLASHING: LED ashes whilst moving
between auto on and auto off.
LED Rapid Flash: On 0.1 sec & Off 0.1 sec
Voltage is outside specications i.e. Less that 8
Volts or greater than 30 Volts
Manual Mode LED Indications:
LED OFF: Battery Switch is off
LED ON: Battery Switch is on
Please Note: Red wire is not
used in basic conguration.
