MORE POWER TO YOU

POWER MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS TO CONTROL ALL YOUR ACCESSORIE­S

- BY KELLY NOMURA PHOTOS COURTESY OF THE MANUFACTUR­ERS

Have you started to accumulate more and more accessorie­s and are now looking for a better way to manage them all? Perhaps you have used up all your spots for rocker switches and still need to hook up a fridge or an air compressor. There are several options on the market these days to help you get organized and manage all your 12V accessorie­s. A simple power management and control system may be the answer to your problems.

We all know that there’s always more that can be done to your vehicle. What started out as a weekend off-road truck has turned into a weeklong off-grid adventurem­obile. And as you build your vehicle to do more and stay out longer, you’ll most likely be adding on more lights, an air compressor, an on-board refrigerat­or, possibly added e-lockers, and more. Depending on your needs, you can opt for a more simple option to give you switches to control up to four accessorie­s now with the option to add on more later. Or possibly you have big plans to build out the most epic expedition vehicle and are at a place to put in a more robust management system. Whatever your needs may be, there are solutions just for you.

Perfect for your side by side, or if you’re looking for a bit more capability from your switch panel, the Switch-Pros RCR-Force 12 gives you more options for your electrical setup. The waterproof and solid-state power module has a 150A capacity with 17 outputs, 4 rated at 35A, 1 rated at 30A, 11 rated at 15A, and 1 low side rated at 2A. The RCR-Touch cover snaps on for ease of use to find switches when wearing gloves or going over rough terrain. There are 12 programmab­le switches, with a ton of options to suit individual needs, with every Master Switch able to control up to four other switch outputs. The preset dimming function with memory gives the user a different brightness during the day versus night. There is also on-on-off logic, touch panel lockout, on/ off or momentary, ignition or battery input, flash or strobe, automatic power-up upon vehicle startup, safety lockout for specific switches, and time delay off. And with the ability to daisy chain up to three switch panels, you can have control of accessorie­s and lighting from inside your vehicle or in the bed of your truck. The Bluetooth app for smartphone­s will also give the ability to control lights and accessorie­s when away from the switch panel and allows you to monitor battery voltage.
