Turning the rotary knob to OFF, 1, 2, or BOTH lets the operator control exactly how the battery banks connect to the vessel's electrical system, which is essential for isolating a cranking battery from house loads or combining banks in an emergency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe switch is ignition protected, making it safe for installation aboard gasoline-powered boats, and it carries an IP66 rating so it is protected against powerful water jets in an open engine compartment or helm station. A tactile indicator lets the operator feel the knob's position without needing to see it, which is useful in low light or when reaching the switch by feel. The housing is constructed of plastic with tin-plated copper contacts, and the switch accepts two 4\/0 AWG (95 mm squared) battery cables per terminal on 1\/2 inch terminal studs. An Icon Circuit Identification Label Kit (7902) is available separately for labeling the switch positions to match the vessel's specific circuits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 3002 is rated for a continuous current of 500 amps, an intermittent (5 minute) rating of 700 amps, and a cranking rating of 1,600 amps for 30 seconds, at a maximum operating voltage of 32 volts DC. It is panel mounted and meets CE marking, ISO 8846, UL 1107, ABYC, UL 1500, and SAE J1171 external ignition protection requirements, making it suitable for use as a primary battery selector switch on gasoline or diesel powered boats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue Sea Systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3002\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heavy-Duty Battery Selector Switch, 4-Position\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Positions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContinuous Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 500 Amps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntermittent Rating (5 min):\u003c\/strong\u003e 700 Amps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCranking Rating (30 sec):\u003c\/strong\u003e 1,600 Amps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Operating Voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 32 Volts DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTerminal Stud Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two 4\/0 AWG (95 mm squared) battery cables per terminal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Panel Mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIngress Protection Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e IP66\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegulatory Compliance:\u003c\/strong\u003e CE marked, ISO 8846, UL Listed (UL 1107), meets ABYC requirements, meets UL 1500 and SAE J1171 external ignition protection requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContact Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tin-plated Copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beige\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9 x 6 x 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.25 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccessory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Icon Circuit Identification Label Kit 7902 (sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the Blue Sea Systems 3002 battery switch do?\u003c\/strong\u003e It switches isolated battery banks to all loads or combines battery banks to power all loads, letting the operator control which batteries are connected to the boat's electrical system via a 4-position rotary knob (OFF, 1, 2, BOTH).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 3002 safe to install on a gasoline powered boat?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes.
