Marinco BEP 717 Battery Distribution Cluster - 717-140A-DVSR

BEP™ 717 Battery Distribution Cluster is designed for twin engine installations. It allows the port engine to charge both the port start battery and the house battery when the port VSR is engaged. It also allows the starboard engine to charge both the starboard start battery and the house battery when the starboard VSR is engaged. This gives you a combined charge from two engines into the house battery until the voltage regulators on both engines control the charge. This system assures you will always be able to charge the house battery even if only one engine is in use.

Features:

• Designed for use on charging systems up to 100A
• Cluster is ideally suited for the following applications:
  • Twin outboards without AUX charge output
  • 2-alternator inboard engines without high-performance battery senses alternators
• Includes dedicated battery switches for both port and starboard start banks, house bank and emergency parallel, and a 710-125A voltage sensitive relay (VSR) for each start bank
• System eliminates possibility of draining the wrong battery and protects sensitive electrical equipment powered by the house battery from harmful engine start-up spikes
• Port VSR allows port and house batteries to be charged at the same time
• Allows starboard engine to charge starboard start and house batteries when the starboard VSR is engaged, giving a combined charge from two outboards into the house battery until voltage regulators on both engines control the charge
• Allows house battery to be charged if steaming on one engine, either port or starboard
• Cluster can be surface or flush mounted
• Unit supplied pre-wired and ready for external connections
