Installation Instructions
Installation Instructions
Mounting
Install as close as possible to battery bank. To avoid corrosion to connecting wires and terminals, mount in
a dry and protected location. Avoid mounting directly above vented lead acid batteries so that the Remote
Battery Switch/Solenoid Switch is not exposed to corrosive gasses expelled from the batteries.
High Current Primary Circuit Connections (stud terminals A and B)
For help selecting the appropriate wire size and circuit protection rating, go to www.bluesea.com and click the
Circuit Wizard quick link.
NOTE: Stud terminals A and B are interchangeable. The load can be connected to A or B; the battery bank
can be connected to A or B.
To connect high current circuit wires:
1. Connect the battery bank to one of the stud terminals marked A or B.
2. Connect the load to the other stud terminal marked B or A.
3. Torque the high current terminal stud nuts to 140 in-lbs (15.8 N•m) maximum.
NOTE: If switching an inverter, windlass, bow thruster, etc., the circuit wires must have circuit protection to
comply with ABYC guidelines. Wires used for engine starting do not require circuit protection.
Control Circuit Connections (wires contained in the wire harness)
NOTE: The Remote Battery Switch/Solenoid Switch is designed to be controlled by momentary SPDT switch,
(included), or two momentary push button switches. Use minimum 16 AWG wire for the Control Circuit.
To connect DC power to the Remote Battery Switch/Solenoid Switch Control Circuit:
1. Connect the red wire through a 10A (min) circuit protection device to DC+. The power source should be
a direct connection to the battery.
2. Connect the black wire to DC ground.
To connect the momentary SPDT Contura Control Switch:
1. Connect the common load terminal of the Control Switch, pin 2, through a 2A (min) circuit protection device
to DC+. Use a 24-hour power source (connected directly to the battery).
2. Connect the brown wire to the CLOSE side of the Control Switch, pin 3.
3. Connect the orange wire to the OPEN side of the Control Switch, pin 1.
4. Connect the LED power terminal of the Control Switch, pin 8, through 2A (min) circuit protection
device to DC+. Note: This connection can share the same wire/fuse as step #1 above, (see diagram).
5. Connect the LED Ground terminal of the Control Switch, pin 7, to the yellow wire of the
Remote Battery Switch.

not a substitute for a more comprehensive understanding of electrical systems. We strongly
recommend that a competent electrical professional perform the installation of this product.
] The illustrated wiring diagram represents a common installation and is not meant to be a guide for wiring
a specific vessel. The wiring diagram shows a single battery bank installation.
] Disconnect all negative battery connections before beginning the installation.
] All unused control wires should be carefully insulated from each other and from accidental contact
using heat shrink tubing or electrical tape. External contact or shorting between control wires can lead
to malfunction.
