  high temperature bre reinforced plastics
• Power draw:  Off/Auto Off: 5mA @12V, 5.5mA @24V
Auto On/On:  8.3mA @12V, 12.5mA @24V
• Emergency Parallel:  Remote switch activates parallel for 10 minute period
  Pressing remote switch for 6 seconds, deactivates
  parallel function.
Remote  emergency  parallel  VSS  control  is  achieved  by  using  a  remotely 
mounted momentary switch, such as the BEP #80-724-0007-00 unit (pictured 
at right), which also features an LED to show the VSS status. When operated, 
the remote switch engages the 720-MDVSO contacts, paralleling the batteries, 
for a 10 minute period, for example to get an engine started following a at start 
battery. 
Alternatively, the VSS can be manually overridden to either “Manual On”, 
or “Manual Off” modes.
