REDARC’s new Battery Master Isolation Switch (BMIS) is designed for commercial vehicles and other heavy trucks, developed and manufactured in its Adelaide-based facility.
The BMIS is designed to safely isolate the vehicle batteries in both 12 volt and 24 volt vehicles and is claimed to ensure reliable performance when the vehicle is operating.
Designed and tested to meet stringent industry standards, the REDARC BMIS features an ISO 26262-rated dual redundancy system to avoid false triggering.
The REDARC BMIS is an original-equipment (OE) fitment at Kenworth and is available in 2 models, 4PN (Positive, Negative Isolation) and 4PP (Positive, Positive Isolation).
The BMIS has been built for heavy vehicle applications. It features a durable, UV-resistant housing so it won’t be damaged by rocks and water, it is rated IP66 & IP 67, includes a continuous self-checking function, as well as an inbuilt lockout capability and inbuilt diagnosis for external looms and remote actuating devices.
The BMIS provides 400-amp continuous current to ensure compatibility with alternators and 3500 amps at cranking.
The BMIS is easy to install from new or as a retrofit. In retrofit installations, REDARC have developed a BMIS-CK Connector Kit and a BMIS-AP Adaptor Plate in order to make installation as simple as possible.
The BMIS is also compatible with existing Roll-Over Sensors (ROS) with a dedicated ROS power output in the wiring configuration of the multi-pin plug.
