Motorised Battery Switch
Model: 701-MD
Operation and Installation
Instructions
Introduction:
The Motorised Battery Switch (701MD) has the same mechanism as the well-proven 701. The essential difference being the switching action has been motorized.
This permits the switching of battery banks remotely. A typical installation is a key-operated switch at the helm station and the motorized battery switch is installed as close as practical to the battery bank. (Part N o for the key switch: 722-KS or any other standard On/Off switch)
Apart from the convenience of such an installation, this arrangement permits much shorter cable runs to starter motors and other high current applications such as bow thrusters and inverters. As a result voltage drop and use of heavy cable have been kept to a minimum.

General Operation :
The Motorised Battery Switch, (701-MD) has two modes of operation.
Auto and Manual. There is a LED located on both the battery switch and key
switch (722-KS), Indicating the Battery Switch status.
Auto Operation: The 701-MD moves from a state of “Auto Off” to “Auto
On” when the remotely mounted switch is turned on. During the time that the
battery switch is in “Auto On” mode, the “Auto On” LED is
illuminated.
Auto operation of the Battery Switch is not possible whilst in manual mode. If
the auto operation is attempted, the LED will flash for 3 seconds and then
stop. The knob must be returned to “Auto Off” before normal auto operation
can continue.
Manual Operation: The automatic operation of the 701-MD battery switch can be overridden at any time by depressing the control knob and turning clockwise toward the Man On” position or counterclockwise toward the “Man Off” position. During the time that the battery switch is in “Man On” mode, the “Man On” LED is Illuminated. Refer to Fig 1 for reference.
