Overview of Application

The ML-Series ACR automatically combines batteries during charging, and isolates batteries when there is no

charging sensed on either battery bank.

ML-Series ACR Function 12 Volt DC Operation 24 Volt DC Operation

Automatically combines battery

levels are:

Above 13.5V for 30 sec.

Above 13.0V for 90 sec.

Above 27.0V for 30 sec.

Above 26.0V for 90 sec.

Automatically isolates battery

banks when sensed voltage

levels are:

Below 9.6V (undervoltage lockout)

Below 12.35V for 10 sec.

Below 12.75V for 30 sec.

Above 16.2V (overvoltage lockout)

Below 19.2V (undervoltage lockout)

Control Switch Remote Operation. IncludedConturaControlSwitch—sustained(SPDT)ON-OFF-ON.

The Control Switch should be mounted in a convenient location near helm controls to allow for quick access.

NOTE: Alternatively use a momentary (SPDT) (ON)-OFF-(ON) or momentary push button switch to provide cross connect and/or battery isolation.

To cross connect

(combine) battery banks

Switchto“ON”combinesbatterybankstoprovidemorebatterypowerinhard

To isolate battery banks

Switch to “OFF”- when the battery banks are isolated using the Control

Switch, the battery banks remain isolated, and for at least 30 seconds after

thecontrolswitchisreturnedtothe“AUTO”position.

Control Switch Remote Indication or ML-ACR Status

NOTE: The remote switch has two LEDs (top and bottom). These LEDs operate simultaneously-either they are both ON or both OFF.

To connect high current circuit wires:

1. Connect the battery banks to the stud terminals marked A and B.

2. Torque the high current terminal stud nuts to 140 in-lbs (15.5 N•m) maximum.

NOTES:StudterminalsAandBareinterchangeable.EitherbatterybankcanbeconnectedtoAorB.
