The VOTRONIC Battery Protector 40 Motor is connected between the supply battery and the consumer and is suitable for all lead-acid battery types (acid, gel, AGM) and makes. They protect the battery from dangerous deep discharge as well as the consumers and equipment from undervoltage and overvoltage and, controlled by an external switch, can also serve as a remote-controlled battery master switch.

Compared to the "normal" Battery Protector 40, the motor version switches to undervoltage at 11.8V.

The reset to normal operation takes place automatically as soon as the voltage has risen again, e.g. to 12.5 V, due to battery recovery or brief charging. The switch-off can also be canceled manually using the "EMERGENCY ON" function. The Battery Protector 40 can be operated remotely via the "Sensor +" terminal using a simple switch (1-pole ON / OFF). This makes it a powerful battery main switch. The EMERGENCY ON function can also be operated remotely

Important product features

Switching current 40 A, briefly overloadable up to 60 A, externally visible switching status display
EMERGENCY STOP function via switch on the device, can also be operated remotely via external switch
Automatic reset as soon as the battery voltage returns to the normal range (charging)
Separate sensor cable and switching thresholds with hysteresis and timer functions for trouble-free operation
Bistable power relay, very low power consumption, less than 3 mA (according to EN 13976)
No self-consumption when switched off via external switch, e.g. remote control as main battery switch
Solid screw terminals for battery and load cable cross-sections up to 10 mm²
"Motor" version with higher switch-off thresholds maintains the starting capability of emergency vehicles with only one battery circuit in accordance with DIN EN 1789
