Intelligent Charging Solution for Marine Applications

The Egis Automatic Charging Relay Plus (ACR) - 160A - 24V is engineered to eliminate dead-start batteries by intelligently managing the charging of two batteries and isolating them when no charge sources are present. This relay is perfect for marine applications, ensuring your vessel's batteries are always ready and operational.

General Description

The 160A Egis Automatic Charging Relay Plus is designed to optimize battery charging and isolation in marine environments. It supports multiple engines or independent charge systems, ensuring efficient battery management. The ACR protects your electrical system from cascading faults, providing a reliable solution to maintain battery health and performance. Its ultra-low power draw prevents battery depletion even during extended downtime, making it an essential component for any marine electrical system.

Key Features and Benefits

• Ultra-Low Power Draw: Minimizes battery depletion with a power draw of only 1.3 mA, significantly lower than typical ACRs.
• Robust Construction: Sealed unit with stainless steel hardware and high-temperature materials for durability and reliability.
• Easy Installation: Integrated sealed plug and Deutsch/Amphenol DTM connector harness simplify installation and prevent corrosion.
• Start Assist Input: Ensures maximum cranking amps are available by allowing manual connection of batteries via a remote switch.
• Versatile Connectivity: Additional low-amp output for remote status reporting or driving a secondary relay for uncharged battery banks.

Focal Features

Top Side Dip Switches

Accessible after mounting, these switches allow for programming voltage settings and determining active features, protected by a self-retained cover.

Stainless Steel Self-Locking Hardware

100% non-ferrous and corrosion-resistant, ensuring long-term reliability with all attachment screws and nuts being self-locking.

Integral I/O Connector

The sealed Molex MX-150 connector prevents corrosion and eliminates the risk of vibrating loose, unlike 1/4" quick connect terminals.

Connection Options

Comes standard with a Deutsch DT/AT style connector harness, providing three connection options: MX-150, DT/AT, and wire leads.

Easy Integration with RT Fuse Blocks

Optional EasyLink bus bars reduce the space and cost of connecting TH Series relays with RT Series fuse blocks.

LED Diagnostics

Provides indication of pending relay ON/OFF, under voltage, over voltage/temp, start isolation/assist, and output on/off status.

Dimensions and Installation

• Dimensions: To be provided (if available)
• Installation: Simple and robust with integrated sealed plug and multiple mounting options for flexibility in various marine setups.

The Egis Automatic Charging Relay Plus - 160A - 24V is the ideal solution for reliable and efficient battery management in marine applications. Its advanced features and robust construction ensure your batteries are always charged and ready, providing peace of mind for any marine adventure.
