MCS-5E Universal Load Switch

A device that can expand the input and output functions of the MCS-32 Universal Controller Plus or use as a stand-alone device to control hazard warning lights or link with the MCS-SE Universal 100w Siren to create a basic hazard warning system

About the product

One application for the MCS-5E Universal Load Switch is to boost the inputs and outputs of a MCS-32 Universal Controller Plus.

The addition of a single Universal Load Switch increases outputs by 5 and inputs by potentially up to 7.

Up to 8 Universal Load Switches can be added increasing the maximum amount of outputs from 32 to 72 and inputs potentially from 24 to 80.

The MCS-5E Universal Load Switch is also ideal as a control hub for basic blue and amber hazard warning lighting systems. When used in conjunction with a siren it provides a cost effective Emergency Services System.

As well as having 4 operating modes depending upon the application required, it also has two CAN Bus ports to allow multiple units to be linked together and/or linkage to other devices such as switch panels and sirens with CAN Bus connections.

Benefits

4 Multi Functional Operating Modes
Simply selected via DIP switches to get:
Mode 1 – 5-way solid state relay pack
Mode 2 – Headlight flasher, run lock and single solid state relay
Mode 3 – Headlight flasher and 3 solid state relays
Mode 4 – Run lock and 3 solid state relays

Independently Settable Over Current Protection

Each solid state relay channel can have it’s current limit independently set to 5, 10, 15 or 20 amps via DIP switches, ideal for load management applications
Eliminates the need for external low current fusing per channel. Only a single high current fuse is required

Under voltage protection

This feature can be enabled and disabled via a single DIP switch. When enabled, outputs are inhibited when the supply voltage drops below 12.1 volts
