Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Quick EBSN 15 Electronic Switch protect against excessive battery rundown?
The switch monitors battery voltage and will disengage the bilge pump if the voltage drops below a critical threshold, preventing deep discharge and potential battery damage.
What is the purpose of the switch-on/switch-off delay feature?
The delay prevents rapid cycling of the bilge pump, which occurs when small amounts of water slosh in the bilge. This conserves pump motor life and reduces unnecessary power draw.
Can the Quick EBSN 15 be used with any bilge pump?
The Quick EBSN 15 is a 15 Amp switch, meaning it can control any bilge pump that does not exceed this amperage rating, providing broad compatibility with most standard marine bilge pumps.
Is the Quick EBSN 15 watertight?
Yes, the casing is specifically designed to be watertight and is coated with resin for enhanced protection against water ingress in demanding marine environments.
What is the power supply range for the Quick EBSN 15?
The switch features an extended power supply range, ensuring reliable operation across various vessel electrical system configurations.
