  • Page 3: Description

    Description The Master Relay is a battery isolator that goes much further than just safety in mind. It has been designed with the sole purpose of a motorsport environment. Utilising solid state switching components, the Master Relay has excellent temperature resistance, as well as an aluminium enclosure that is lightweight and robust in even the harshest motorsport environment.

  • Page 5: Installation

    Installation Mounting The MSEL Master Relay has two tags designed for mounting the device to a flat surface. The spacing between the mounting holes is 84mm (see Drawing for details). The location of the Master Relay, as well as the total current load, can have significant effect on the internal temperature of the Master Relay.
