BEP 701 Contour Battery Master Switch (ON/OFF)

Product Overview

The BEP 701 Contour Battery Master Switch is a globally recognized standard for marine and automotive DC electrical systems. Offering high capacity in a compact footprint, this heavy-duty 275A switch features BEP's patented Contour Lock system, allowing it to be used as a standalone unit or locked together with other switches into a single, clean distribution cluster.

Key Features

• Patented Contour Lock System: The modular side panels slide out, enabling you to seamlessly interlock the 701 with other switches or distribution modules for a customized, space-saving panel setup.

• Heavy-Duty Capacity: Rated at 275A Continuous, 455A Intermittent (5 minutes), and 1250A Cranking (10 seconds). It is fully optimized for engine starting paths and large inverter loads.

• Versatile Mounting Options: Can be easily surface-mounted or recess-mounted (requiring a standard 52 mm / 2.05 in hole) for a clean, low-profile dash finish.

• Enhanced Safety Features: The control knob rotates with smooth, positive clicks and can be fully removed by turning 45 degrees counterclockwise, serving as a physical lockout for security or maintenance safety.

• Built for Tough Environments: Ignition protected to meet UL 1107 and CE standards. The housing is molded from high-temperature, fiber-reinforced plastics with tinned copper studs ($10\text{mm}$ / $3/8\text{in}$) for maximum conductivity and corrosion resistance.

• Easy Access Wiring: Features three removable side plates for flexible cable routing from any direction.
