Battery Watch - Saves Your Batteries

The Batterywatch monitors the battery voltage and switches off all consumer demands before the battery is deep-discharged, which will result in a considerably longer battery-life. The green LED will go out when supply is cut.

The Batterywatch can continuously switch a current of 50 Amps, 12 or 24 Volts and even 70 Amps, peak current. It automatically adjusts to the nominal battery voltage of 12 or 24 Volt. You can set the desired switch-off-voltage, the table below shows the micro-switch settings (which are also printed on the top of the Batterywatch unit.

The Batterywatch ignores voltage dips caused by surge demands. Its own current consumption is is a miserly 110 mA when switched on and this drops to approx. 7 mA when the relay is triggered to "off".

It is recommended to use a trickle charger to maintain the battery or even to disconnect the battery from the installation with the battery-switch during long absence.

Installation
1. Disconnect the battery during installation of the Batterywatch.
2. Choose a dry place well away from any heat source and not directly above the battery, because sulphur fumes could damage the electronic components.
3. To reduce power loss (voltage drop), choose battery cable of sufficient thickness and use professional tools for crimping battery connections. Connect with M6 screws.

WARNING: Heavy current through wiring that is too thin - or bad connection - can generate excessive heat and could cause a fire!

Fragmentor

Suitable for 12V DC appliances

The Fragmentator allows you to use 12V DC bulbs from a 24V DC supply. It is specifically designed for use with bulbs but it can also be employed for motors, fans, bilge pumps, refrigerators, electric stoves, cookers and many other appliances.

Definately not suitable for electronic appliances (such as radios, television sets, audio cassette players etc). See Voltage Converters (below) for these duties.

The device is protected against short circuit of the load.

Technical Data

Voltage in: 24V DC
Voltage out: Veff=12V DC; Vpp=24V DC
Efficiency: up to 97%
Dimensions: 30 x 40 x 38 mm
Weight: 39 gr.

Dimmer

This Dimmer regulates the power of the appliance (lamps, small motors, fans, electric stoves, cookers, bilge pumps, etc.), depending on the setting of lighting being used.

The Dimmer has a protection against short accidental short circuits. The system offers the advantage of a 'smooth' switching on of lamps and motors avoiding any related stress and extending their lifetime.

It must not be used with electronic appliances such as radios, TV's, DVD players, etc.

Voltage Converters

7 AMP Part No: EPA 20001

14 AMP Part No: EPA 10001

This DC-DC converter transforms 24V DC battery voltage to 12V DC consumer voltage. This allows the use of 12V DC appliances with a 24V DC board circuitry.

Our voltage converters are provided with a protection circuit for over voltage and polarity inversion and have protection standard IP 685. Unlike the switching technology, this voltage converter is suitable for supplying any kind of electronic equipment and particularly GPS, Loran, Radar, Echo sounders, etc. The system is totally protected from short circuits, overtemperatures, overvoltages, etc.

Electronic Filters

12V - 2 AMP Part No: EPFE 0001
12V - 5 AMP Part No: EPFF 0001
24V - 2 AMP Part No: EPFG 0001
24V - 5 AMP Part No: EPFH

Electronic filters protect your on board equipment (Radars, GPS, Loran, Echo sounders, VHF, etc.) from overvoltage and electricity-related problems. These problems are mostly caused by extra currents produced by starting electric engines manoeuvres, anchor winches, alternators and atmospheric discharges.If inserted between the supply and the equipment to be protected, electronic filters solve most of the above-mentioned problems.

Most problems with electronic equipment used on rubber dinghies and on outboards is caused by the engine itself. Use of this filter is extremely effective in preventing damage to such expensive equipment.

Twilight Switch

for 12V and 24V DC appliances

The twilight switch automatically puts on connected appliances depending on the ambient luminosity.

This twilight switch is suitable for any kind of DC appliances such as engines, alarms, lamps, electronic valves, lights for vessels at anchor, running light, pumps, etc.
