Batteries are automatically connected in parallel
through the use of automatic charging relays (ACR)
when a sufficient charging source is present. The
battery banks are automatically separated when the
charging source falls below a certain voltage level
for a predetermined amount of time.
The use of automatic charging relays eliminates the
need for the operator to monitor battery voltage and
decide whether or not to parallel the battery banks. It
also eliminates the chance of a dead battery bank if a
paralleling switch were left in the combined position
without a sufficient charging source present. In an
emergency, the operation of the automatic charging
relays can be manually overridden by use of the knob
on the top of the automatic charging relays.
Automatic Charging Relays (ACR)
REFER TO THE OWNER’S PACKET FOR COMPLETE
INSTRUCTIONS AND WARRANTY INFORMATION.
Manual Control Override
Each of the remote battery switches and automatic
charging relays have a manual override knob as
an added level of safety that allows manual on/off
control with or without power and provides lock off
for servicing the electrical system.
