Ensure Continuous Power for Marine Communications

The Newmar ERC-12-15 Emergency Relay is your solution for maintaining seamless power to your marine communications equipment. Designed to provide immediate backup power in the event of AC power loss or failure, this emergency relay ensures your critical systems stay operational when you need them most. Additionally, it functions as a trickle battery charger, maintaining your battery at optimal voltage without any additional modification.

Key Features and Benefits

The Newmar ERC-12-15 Emergency Relay is engineered to deliver reliability and performance in marine environments. Here’s a closer look at its essential features:

• Automatic Switching: Fast-acting S.P.D.T. relay automatically switches the equipment's DC input to a standby battery when DC voltage is lost, ensuring uninterrupted operation.
• Integrated Trickle Charger: Maintains the backup battery at full voltage by directing a small portion of the output current to it while the power supply is operational.
• Versatile Mounting Options: Can be mounted vertically, horizontally, or upside-down without affecting performance. Suitable for mounting on metal surfaces due to isolated inputs and outputs.
• Safety Considerations: Equipped with yellow plastic terminal covers to prevent accidental shorting. It should not be mounted in areas with battery gases or potentially explosive gases.
