Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Quick EBSN 20 protect against excessive battery rundown?
It incorporates built-in battery rundown protection that intelligently monitors battery voltage and prevents the bilge pump from operating when the battery level drops to a critical point, thus preserving essential power for other vessel systems.
What is the purpose of the switch-on/switch-off delay feature?
The anti-cycling delay feature prevents the bilge pump from switching on and off rapidly in response to minor water level fluctuations or wave action. This protects the pump motor from premature wear and reduces unnecessary battery drain.
Can the Quick EBSN 20 be remotely controlled?
Yes, the Quick EBSN 20 offers optional remote control capabilities, allowing for both indication of operation status and manual pump switch-on from a remote location on your vessel.
Is the Quick EBSN 20 waterproof?
Yes, the Quick EBSN 20 features a robust, resin-coated watertight casing designed to withstand wet marine environments and protect the internal electronic components.
What is the amp rating of the Quick EBSN 20?
The Quick EBSN 20 has an amp rating of 20 Amps, making it suitable for controlling most standard bilge pumps.
