Single and double pole versions are available.
E-T-A also manufactures the 922 double pole Battery Master Switch with manual control and remote disconnection, approved by BASEEFA and suitable for current UK Petroleum Vehicle Regulations.
The European Agreement concerning the international carriage of dangerous goods by road (ADR regulations) is in the process of being updated.
