NewMar APS-160 Automatic Power Selector 160A 6-50VDC

The NewMar APS-160 Automatic Power Selector is a solid-state device designed to create a seamless, redundant power system for critical electronic loads in marine, RV, and mobile applications. This intelligent selector continuously monitors two independent DC power sources and automatically routes power from whichever source has the higher voltage, ensuring uninterrupted operation of vital equipment.

How It Works:

Two independent power sources connect to the APS-160 input terminals, and the unit outputs a single feed to your critical load. Should one power source falter or fail, the second source instantly takes over with zero transfer delay, preventing any interruption to connected equipment. Alarm sense wires can be attached to the input studs to provide loss-of-power alerts for monitoring systems.

• Solid-state design with no moving parts for reliable operation
• Automatic voltage selection between two DC sources with no transfer delay
• Handles loads up to 160 amps continuously
• Compatible with 6-50 VDC systems with negative ground
• Alarm sense capability for power loss monitoring
• Rugged, rust-proof anodized aluminum housing for harsh environments
• Simple installation with 6mm stud terminals
