Egis Mobile Electric - Programmable Automatic Charging Relay - 160A, 12V

Advanced Battery Charging and Protection

The Egis Programmable Automatic Charging Relay (ACR) 160A, 12V is designed to enhance the reliability and efficiency of your marine electrical system. This automatic and programmable relay ensures optimal battery performance by managing the charging and isolation of multiple batteries, preventing dead starts, and safeguarding your electrical system.

General Description

This 160A charging relay intelligently shares charging between two batteries and isolates them when no charge sources are present. It supports multiple engines or independent charge systems with two independent start or engine isolation inputs, optimizing charging performance. Additionally, it protects the electrical system from cascading faults with an optional lock-out feature, preventing closure if a terminal is connected to a battery with a shorted cell.

Key Features and Advantages

• Ultra-Low Power Draw: Consumes significantly less power compared to typical ACRs, preventing battery depletion during extended downtimes.
• Robust Installation: Features an integrated sealed plug to eliminate corrosion, including a Deutsch/Amphenol DTM connector harness.
• Start Assist: Ensures maximum cranking amps by allowing manual battery connection via a remote switch.
• Bullet-Proof Construction: Sealed unit with stainless steel hardware and high-temperature materials, suitable for any mounting location.
• Remote Reporting: An additional low-amp output reports device status remotely or drives a secondary relay for charging a battery bank without a charge source.

Bullet Points Summary

• Ultra-Low Power Draw: Minimizes battery depletion during system downtime.
• Integrated Sealed Plug: Prevents corrosion and ensures robust connections.
• Start Assist Feature: Maximizes cranking amps for reliable starts.
• Bullet-Proof Construction: Durable, sealed unit with stainless steel hardware.
• Remote Reporting Capability: Allows for status reporting and secondary relay control.

Focal Features

Top Side Dip Switches Accessible after mounting for easy programming of voltage settings and feature activation. Protected by a self-retained cover.

Stainless Steel Self-Locking Hardware Constructed from 100% non-ferrous, corrosion-resistant materials. All attachment screws and nuts are self-locking.

Integral I/O Connector Sealed Molex MX-150 connector prevents corrosion and loose connections common with 1/4" quick connect terminals.

Connection Options Standard with a Deutsch DT/AT style connector harness, offering three connection options (MX-150, DT/AT, and wire leads).

Easy Integration with RT Fuse Blocks (24 HR Circuits) Optional EasyLink bus bars reduce the space and cost of connecting TH Series relays with RT Series Fuse Blocks.

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

The Egis Programmable Automatic Charging Relay (ACR) 160A, 12V is an essential component for efficient and reliable battery management in marine applications, ensuring your electrical system remains protected and operational at all times.
