The Switch Control allows viewing of the state and the management of four channels of an NMEA 2000 switch bank from the connected buttons with LED indicators.
It is designed to work in tandem with Circuit Control YDCC-04 (contains four latching relays) or Alarm Button YDAB-01 and is compatible with other NMEA 2000 digital switching devices managed by standard NMEA 2000 PGNs 127501 and 127502. You will find system examples and connection diagrams at the page of Ciruit Control YDCC-04.
