This 'virtual fusing' current limit can be set at 2, 3, 4 or 5A and there is an internal fuse rated at 15A to protect the entire unit. There is also thermal overload protection and the unit will shutdown at 90°C with auto-recovery at 75°C. LED indicators on the unit provide a visual indication of the channel output, current trip, and faults.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e12V \u0026amp; 24V compatibility\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SmartSwitch DC4 can accept an input voltage of 8-32V DC so has the flexibility to be used in either 12V or 24V battery systems, making it perfect for a wide range of applications including campervans, motorhomes, canal boats, marine applications, off-grid homes \u0026amp; cabins, overland \u0026amp; custom vehicles, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSimple installation and configuration\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith no clunky relays and no messy wiring, the DC4 is a breeze to install and configure.
