This 700 Easyfit Battery Switch from BEP is intended for installations where switches need to be recessed through panels or bulkheads of varying thickness. This is achieved using the easily removable threaded ring that allows for panel thicknesses up 19 mm, requiring just a single hole through a panel or bulkhead to install it. To provide flexible installation options, the switch can also be surface-mounted via the 4 mounting holes in the body (fixings are not supplied).

The actuation knob can be removed by pushing down and turning anticlockwise 45° past the OFF position, which provides security when leaving your vehicle or boat unattended and acts as an additional safety 'lock-out' when working on the system. A separate ON/OFF decal is supplied that can be applied to the mounting ring after installation. The removable back cover protects the exposed terminals which prevents damage and accidental shorting and meets ABYC specifications. This switch is also ignition protected for safe use in engine compartments and spaces containing fuel.

BEP tests its battery switches to UL 1107 for Continuous (1 hour), Intermittent (5 minutes) and Cranking (engine starting - 10 seconds) operation. The test is to determine the maximum current the switch can handle for the stated time without the rear terminals exceeding 100°C above the ambient temperature. The continuous and intermittent ratings are tested at 110 percent of specified ratings. All BEP switches are tested Independently to this specification by a 3rd party laboratory.
