Wiring example
Wire table
| Wire | Standard funcon |
|---|---|
| Red | +Vdc continuous supply |
| Black | Ground |
| Brown | +Vdc pulse closes contact |
| Orange | +Vdc pulse opens contact |
| Yellow | Status (LED) output |
The Status output is a ground referenced open collector port with a maximum
switching capacity of 34V / 100mA (Rout ≈ 10 Ω)
De Status uitgang is een aan massa gerefereerde open collector poort met een
maximale schakelcapaciteit van 34V / 100mA (Ruit ≈ 10 Ω)

within range. Otherwise return RBS for service.| Contact fails to close. Check
if supply voltage is within range. Otherwise return RBS for service.
Change control mode
When in off mode, press all three buons simultaneously for three seconds to enter the setup mode:
Step through the control modes by pressing the OPEN (up) or CLOSE (down) buons
Control mode table
Mode no.| Open LED| Close LED| Control mode

When the desired control mode is selected, press the Power buon for 2 seconds
to save the seng.
Press the Power buon again for 2 seconds to acvate the RBS with the new
control mode.
Modes 1, 2 & 3: +Vdc pulse on brown wire to close, +Vdc pulse on orange wire to open.
Mode 4: +Vdc connuous on brown wire to close, 0Vdc on brown wire to open. Orange wire not used
Mode 5: +Vdc connuous on brown wire to open, 0Vdc on brown wire to close. Orange wire not used.
General operaon
Precautions
- Please install this product in a dry indoor locaon, as close as possible to the baery. To be installed only by qualified technicians.
- To avoid fire hazards, use correctly sized cables which are suitable to carry the expected load currents in your applicaon. The maximum connuous RBS current rang of 500A is onlyvalid when a total cable size of at least 200mm² is connected to the M10 studs. Or when the RBS is part of a DC Modular system containing large busbars and fuseholders.
- To avoid fire hazards or damaging the RBS, please make sure that all nuts are securely ghtened. Please apply our recommended torque rang of 22Nm for the M10 nuts.
- To avoid fire hazards or damaging the RBS, please make sure that spring- and flat washers are always placed directly below the nut. Never place washers between: busbar and cable lug, mulple cable lugs on the same stud, busbar and linkplate or cable lug and linkplate.
- Please make sure that all connecon cables are properly strain relieved, to avoid excessive mechanical stress on the RBS.
RBS features
- Smart high current magnec latching relay, draws virtually no current in On (Close) or Off (Open) state
- Silver alloy contacts and silver plated copper busbars, for maximum conducvity and high reliability when switching live loads.
- Local Open and Close buons on top, to manually override the switch state.
- 5 wire interface cable for external control by panel switch, baery monitor or BMS. Compable with two wire or single wire On/Off control. Includes status wire for controlling indicator light or providing feedback to BMS.
- Stainless steel studs, washers and nuts for opmal corrosion resistance
- Unique grid opmized footprint allows space saving arrangements with other DC Modular products.
- Special fiber reinforced plasc housing offers excellent high temperature properes, good chemical resistance and high strength.
- Robust transparent covers with breakouts to allow wire access from any direcon.
- Smart terminal design allows dual mirrored cable lug connecons.
