RM12 - Bennett Trim Tabs Bennett Marine 12V Relay Module with Safety Features

12V Relay Module for Trim Tab Systems

The Bennett Marine 12V Relay Module is designed to minimize voltage drop in trim tab systems, making it ideal for installations with longer wire runs. This module is compatible with older trim tab controls like RT1000 and RS1000, and it serves a critical function as an interrupter relay. It helps prevent fuse blowouts by ensuring that the Bow Down and Bow Up functions cannot be activated simultaneously.

The Bennett Marine 12V Relay Module, part number RM12, is an electrical component designed for integration into trim tab systems. Its primary function is to mitigate voltage drop, which is particularly beneficial in installations requiring extended wire runs. This module is engineered to be compatible with legacy trim tab control units, specifically the RT1000 and RS1000 models. Operating as an interrupter relay, it incorporates a safety feature that prevents simultaneous activation of the Bow Down and Bow Up functions. This mechanism is critical for system stability, as it helps to prevent fuse blowouts that could otherwise occur from conflicting control inputs. The RM12 is suitable for IT and marine professionals managing or upgrading existing trim tab systems where voltage stability and fuse protection are concerns.
