Frequently Asked Questions
What is the voltage compatibility of the Egis Triple XD Flex Relay?
The Egis Triple XD Flex Relay is compatible with both 12 VDC and 24 VDC marine electrical systems.
Can the Egis Triple XD Flex Relay be used with lead-acid batteries?
While specifically optimized for the unique charging characteristics of lithium batteries, the relay's programmable functions may allow for use with lead-acid batteries in certain configurations, though performance and optimization may not be ideal. Consult the manual for detailed compatibility and configuration options.
What are the typical applications for the Egis Triple XD Flex Relay?
Typical applications include managing the charging of multiple lithium battery banks, controlling remote switching for accessories like thrusters or windlasses, and functioning as an advanced Automatic Charge Relay (ACR) for seamless battery bank management.
How are the relays on the Egis Triple XD Flex Relay programmed?
The relays are programmed via internal settings accessible through the unit's interface, which may involve setting parameters for activation thresholds, timing, and specific functions like ACR or remote switching. Specific programming steps are detailed in the product's technical manual.
What is an Automatic Charge Relay (ACR) and how does it work with this product?
An Automatic Charge Relay (ACR) automatically connects and disconnects battery banks based on voltage levels, ensuring that the engine starting battery is charged when the house battery bank is being charged by the alternator. On the Egis Triple XD Flex Relay, the middle relay is typically configured for this ACR functionality, intelligently managing the connection between your primary and secondary battery banks.
