Přepínací panel Contura vodotěsný 12 V DC - 4 polohy

The panel is made of 5052-H32 aluminum alloy with a thickness of 2.54 mm (0.100”).

The overall dimensions of the panel are 133.40 mm x 95.30 mm (5-1/4” x 3-3/4”). Its depth is 69.90 mm (2-3/4”).

Yes, this panel is specifically designed to withstand common above-deck water exposures, including salt spray, rain, jet washes, and brief immersions.

The fuse holders accept 3.175 cm x 0.635 cm (1-1/4" x 1/4") AGC (fast-acting) and MDL (slow-blow) glass fuses. 15 amp AGC fuses are supplied and installed.

Each switch and fuse holder has a maximum capacity of 20 amperes for a 12-volt system and 15 amperes for a 24-volt system.

The maximum cumulative intensity for the entire distribution panel is 45 amperes.

Yes, the panel is designed to work with 12 or 24 V DC systems.

Yes, each switch is equipped with an integrated LED indicator. These LEDs are designed for a lifespan of 100,000 hours (at half-life) and allow you to monitor the circuit status.

Yes, 60 base labels are provided to identify and customize the different circuits on the panel.

The panel features chemical treatment compliant with military specification C-5541C and a graphite two-part textured polyurethane finish, ensuring durability against marine conditions.

Before any installation, it is imperative to disconnect the main positive cable from all batteries and unplug the AC power cord from the boat. This eliminates the risk of a short circuit during installation and the risk of electrocution from AC wiring.

Yes, the panel must not be installed in explosive environments, such as gasoline engine compartments or battery compartments, as the switches are not protected against ignition of vapors.

A sealing gasket is included and must be positioned between the panel and the mounting surface. It is essential to firmly screw the panel to ensure adequate sealing if the front face is exposed to water.

It is recommended to size the positive power wire for the panel's full capacity, i.e., 45 amps. In most cases, this will require at least an 8 AWG wire for a 3-meter (10-foot) circuit length between the panel and the batteries in 12-volt systems, aiming for a 3% voltage drop.

Use a 16 AWG wire to connect the LED negative power wire (typically yellow) to the DC negative bus of your system.

The correct wire gauge for each branch circuit must be determined by calculating the circuit’s maximum sustained amperage and its length. It is recommended to aim for a 3% voltage drop for safety-critical loads (such as navigation lights, bilge blowers, electronics) and up to 10% for non-critical loads (such as cabin lights or bait pumps).

Any Blue Sea Systems product a customer is not satisfied with can be returned for a refund or replacement at any time.

Mounting centers for the 8262 panel are 112.30 mm x 74.20 mm (4-13/32” x 2-29/32”).
