It switches two battery banks simultaneously while maintaining battery bank isolation, and lets the operator combine the two banks together in the event of a low start battery. The switch's compact design makes it practical to install in tight spaces, and it offers multiple mounting options, including surface mount or mounting to the rear of a panel. It is ignition protected, so it can be installed in the engine room of a gasoline powered boat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElectrical connections are made through one piece copper studs measuring 7\/8 inch long, which accept multiple cable connections and hold up to the tinned copper contacts inside the switch for a secure electrical path. The switch operates in ON-OFF-COMBINE mode through a rotary actuator with a normally closed contact type, and the face has tactile textures so the operator can identify the switch position by feel in low light or no light conditions. The housing carries an IP66 rating, protecting the switch against powerful water jets. This model does not include an alternator field disconnect.\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 5511E\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwitch Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rotary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperation Mode:\u003c\/strong\u003e ON-OFF-COMBINE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurrent Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 350 Amps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 32 Volts (DC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContact Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Normally Closed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnector Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stud\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStud Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7\/8 inch\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 Tinned Copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.85 x 3.85 x 3.1 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.3 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCircuit Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Panel Mount, Surface Mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Positions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIngress Protection Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e IP66\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Alternator Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120 Amps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIgnition Protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 632085551155\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the Blue Sea Systems 5511E battery switch do?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 5511E is an e-Series Dual Circuit Plus battery switch that controls two battery banks at once.
