From the BEP DVSR manual:

DVSR Operation Explained - Charging: The DVSR is connected between two battery banks. When the DVSR senses a charging voltage (13.4VDC or 26.8VDC) on either of the banks, it automatically activates and joins the two battery banks after a short delay (5 seconds), so they are charged as one battery bank.


Isolation: When the DVSR senses that batteries are not being charged (voltage drops to 12.8V DC or 25.6V DC) the DVSR deactivates following a 20 second delay, separating the combined battery banks into two isolated banks.

Optional Storage Mode: This can be used where the boat/vehicle is stored for long periods without any battery charging, but with the batteries still connected. Power consumption is zero when this is activated. Alternatively, the storage mode can be wired via the ignition switch, so the DVSR can only operate when the engine is running. This provides optimal protection of electronics from electrical spikes, zero power consumption when ignition is off, and acts like a single sensing VSR as DVSR will only activate when engine alternator is charging.
