NOVA Master 5 lighting switch-panel reference

A five-control lighting panel in the official body and table; the older BR5 catalogue label remains a naming discrepancy to resolve.

Front-face presentation based on supplier imagery. Control shapes identify the panel; legends, pinouts, output behavior and included wiring require current documentation.

Understand this catalogue entry

The motor-vehicle-controller source describes Master 5 as a switch panel for lighting devices. Its picture shows a circular centre control surrounded by four sector controls in a compact square housing. The fresh body and code table use Master 5, while the original catalogue extraction identified BR5. This page retains the difference and does not declare BR5 and Master 5 to be verified interchangeable codes.

The source describes backlighting, adhesive mounting and the use of an external relay for additional load capacity. Its current entries are not treated as a complete per-channel power specification or proof of built-in high-current relays. Despite the generic page name, the evidence supports an accessory-lighting panel, not a forklift drive-motor controller or a safety-function control system.

Procurement checklist

Resolve these points before comparing offers

Keep the item identity, physical version and supply scope together. Use the questions alongside the published specifications when preparing a sourcing brief.

Which panel identity and button behavior are being offered?

Request a current label, full reference, control map and version-specific instructions. Ask the supplier to explain the BR5/Master 5 naming discrepancy and identify which control is non-locking versus locking. The front image is not a verified wiring map, and blank or customised button legends do not establish output behavior or a supported lamp function.

How are outputs and external loads specified?

Ask for the electrical interface document explaining the five groups and the 300mA/5mA table entries. Confirm whether each output is a control signal, a limited load path or another interface, and identify the documented external-relay requirements where applicable. This page gives no wiring procedure and does not infer total current, per-channel capacity or the presence of an included relay assembly.

What mounting and supplied-part scope must be retained?

Request the enclosure drawing, lead or harness identification, adhesive or bracket scope and the actual included components. The source mentions 3M tape but does not independently establish retention on every surface or an environmental rating. Keep the intended vehicle accessory supply and lighting-load documentation in the enquiry; do not infer compatibility from a similar voltage label.

A lighting panel is not a traction or safety controller

Master 5 is kept separate from SC5X, SC7X and the existing integrated-relay controller because those sources identify different products and interfaces. Similar button counts or case shapes do not establish common pinouts, programming or load capacity. Preserve the exact panel revision and its documented lighting application; no drive-control, safety-interlock or braking use is asserted.

Sources and evidence limits

The official body and table support Master 5 identification and the listed lighting-panel descriptions. BR5 naming, output interpretation, relay scope, harness, mounting limits and compatibility remain for confirmation. No traction-control, safety certification, stock or installed-performance claim is made.

This reference is neither a quotation nor a stock, delivery or authorisation commitment. Request a current written proposal from the quoting entity. Preserve the item reference, quantity, destination and included accessories in that proposal so that changes of configuration remain visible.
