BEP Voltage Sensing Relay - 12V/24V 140A Dual Sense

BEP 140A Voltage Sensing Relay

The Digital Voltage Sensing Relay (DVSR) allows the charging of a second battery bank from any single charging source. When the voltage on the charged bank rises sufficiently, the DVSR engages allowing the 2nd battery bank to charge. When charging stops and voltage falls, the DVSR automatically isolates the battery banks, ensuring that engine start batteries are kept fully charged. Digital circuitry provides superior reliability and extremely low power consumption. Digital enhancements have introduced remote sensing circuitry that allows an optional connection from the ignition switch to provide the same functionality as single sense VSR and zero power consumption when the engine is off. Another benefit is a zero stand by current draw when remote sensing circuit is utilized with a storage mode switch fitted (switch in an open position).

Lowered cut in voltage from 13.7V to 13.4V (26.8V for 24V) to suit low output alternators and high-temperature environments. When the voltage of a battery bank reaches 13.7 volts, the VSR engages, allowing two battery banks (start and house) to be charged simultaneously. When the voltage drops below 12.8 volts (eg. the engine is stopped), the VSR disengages, separating the batteries. This system eliminates the possibility of draining the start battery and protects sensitive electronic equipment powered from the house battery from harmful engine start-up spikes.

Advantages of fitting a VSR over conventional diode isolators:

Easy 3 wire connection at the battery. No need to bypass existing alternator wiring.
VSRs have no volt drop. Conventional diode isolators incur a minimum of 0.6-volt drop.
Compact size - no large heat sink
Cost-effective solution
