Mfg. / Part #: Blue Sea ML-RBS 7700 Tags: electrical

This component is the main battery switch which actually has two components - the latching relay and the “contura” control switch which is the pushbutton switch that controls the latching relay.

⚠️ The ML-RBS must be in the ON position (yellow knob facing down) and the top of the yellow knob must be depressed - this is the fully latched ON position

Picture of the ML-RBS disconnected. The control switch is through the hole on the other side.

Instruction manual wiring diagram:

Actual wiring. The only difference is that we have added an input to Pin 1 which is now connected to the Normally Open relay of the Victron BMV 712. +12V on this pin will force the ML-RBS to Open thus disconnecting the batteries from the system.
