The RBS can easily be installed in an engine room or battery compartment, while being controlled from a more convenient location by a small panel mounted switch. But the RBS can for instance also be controlled by a battery monitor or managed Lithium battery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBesides controlling the RBS remotely, buttons positioned at the top also provide a way to open or close the main contact locally. For external control, the RBS is equipped with a 5 wire interface cable. It can be configured to accept two wire or single wire ON\/OFF commands for optimal flexibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe RBS is a magnetic latching relay, which means that there is no current draw from the battery when the contact is closed. This is a great benefit compared to regular relays which do require a (sometimes significant-) hold current to keep the contact closed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnother benefit of the RBS are the built in protections. It is protected against high\/low supply voltage and high temperature. On top of this, there is a smart function available to automatically fix light to medium contact weldings. And finally, the RBS is also ignition protected according to ISO8846.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBeing a member of the TBS DC Modular family, the RBS can be part of a very compact DC distribution system. The RBS footprint is around 50% smaller compared to some competing products, which is perfect for space constrained installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor more information, please download the datasheet from the link below, or check this YouTube video for general installation information.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDatasheet: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tbs-electronics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DCMD-RBS-TBP-EN-REVC.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eRemote Battery Switch \/ Battery Protect Relay Datasheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManual: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tbs-electronics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/TBS_RBS_Manual_Rev6endf.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDC Modular 500A Remote Battery Switch (RBS) Manual\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-C6nJ1ghyS8?si=4WuFxKNXcaDkC4iK\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"TBS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42518727295110,"sku":"5074520","price":363.66,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/0162\/2662\/files\/8c1a02ba-730f-4960-9ad3-68586fd5b063.png?v=1765512640","url":"https:\/\/orkapower.co.nz\/products\/dcm-remote-battery-switch-24v-500a","provider":"ORKA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
