I had thought that a BlueSeas ML-ACR could be disabled by using the manual switch on the top of it, ie turn it to the right and it will "lock" in the disabled position. However, I have done this on mine but every 10 minutes or so I here a "click" from back in the lazarette where it is located. I am bit confused by the ACR specifications but I am beginning to suspect that even when disabled, the ACR still "checks" the voltage and makes an attempt at combining.

Am I nuts or is this still happening with the switch in the locked off position?

BTW, I agree with Ken, thanks for the great explanation. I appreciate your participation.
