Powerful 20 Amperes
Capability: Twenty amps will power 240 Watts of
bulbs at 12 volts, 480 Watts for 24 volt systems and an amazing 640 Watts in
older 32 volt systems. Our intermittent wiper control will easily drive Four,
5 amp wiper motors. The Ships Whistle and Bell Sounder will drive the biggest
horns, or air horn solenoids, likely to be found on any boat. Compatible with 12,
24 or 32 volt dc systems: (no
32V self parking wiper systems) Rugged Construction: All of our products are housed in
anodized aluminum extrusion. We even go to the trouble and expense to
de-burr, radius and polish our extrusions to insure you do not shred you arm
reaching around one of our parts while working on other equipment in what is
often a tight area behind the dash or elsewhere. Electronic components are
encased in UL listed fire resistant epoxy. The main power transistor in all
our products is polarity protected against the most common installation
error. It is also over temp protected.* Our power connectors, and the switch
connectors of the DCD-20, are rated at 30 Amps and will accept up to 10 gauge
wire. The oversized switch connectors facilitate the use of existing wires
and allow for the insertion of multiple wires when installing multiple
control stations with the DCD-20. The connector screws and clamps are plated
and coated for anti-corrosion protection. All of our products contain a
hardware watch dog that prevent the units from passing any significant
current unless the part is running properly. *It would require a double fault,
i.e. a wiring short and a failed circuit breaker, to overload the part to the
point it would heat up enough to shut itself off. Our products built in self
protection is not a substitute for properly sized and installed fuses or
circuit breakers. Reliability: We use top quality commercially
available components to build our products. Every unit is inspected and
tested multiple times during the assembly process. It we did not think our
products will provide years of reliable service we would not offer our limited
life time warranty. Ease of
Installation: Being series wired, our products do
not require a ground wire* which greatly facilitates installation, as does
their compact size. The fact that control wires can be up to 250ft long allow
the power units to be installed at a location where wiring is readily
accessed and control switches to be located where they are most convenient. (*The auxiliary power supply used with the DCWE-20
Intermittent Wiper Control when installed with self parking wipers does
require a ground wire, so it is not technically series wired.) Products May Be Installed After The
Load: In other words they can be installed in the ground
lead. If the positive lead is short or in a cramped location it may sometimes
be easier to access the ground wire. This is not applicable to all wiper
control installations or to the Ships Whistle Sounder. Dimmer/Controllers
May Be Installed Mid Circuit: This feature can be useful if for example you do
not want all of the lights in an existing circuit to dim. Your specific
existing wiring will determine if mid circuit wiring is feasible. Control Wiring Does
Not Carry Any Circuit Load: Allows the use of small gauge wire
for switch wiring and reduces voltage loss by shortening the length of load
carrying wires. Ability to Dim LEDs:
Our
dimmers can control of an incredible number of LEDs. Our
Dimmer/Controllers Have The Capability To Accept Input From Other Digital
Devices: Our products are digital devices and
have the ability to accept control inputs from other digital devices. If you are interested in this
exciting possibility please call for an explanation of how our units can be
implemented in your designs. All products are
shipped with a complete and easy to follow Installation & Operation
Guide. |
