Multifunction digital DC meter with alarm

The BLUE SEA 8248-BSS multifunction digital meter is designed for precise monitoring of direct current (DC) electrical systems. It provides integrated voltage and current monitoring and features configurable alarm capabilities to alert the user in case of deviations from critical parameters.

The 8248-BSS digital meter measures direct current (DC) voltage in a range from 0 to 60V DC.

Voltage measurement accuracy is ±0.5% with a 0.01V DC resolution.

The current measurement range is ±500A DC. The resolution is 0.1A DC for values from -99.9 to +500A and 1A DC for values from -100 to -500A.

The current measurement accuracy is ±0.5%.

Yes, for current measurement, the 8248-BSS multifunction digital meter requires the use of a 500A-50mV shunt.

The display screen of the instrument has a size of 9/16" and its brightness is adjustable to adapt to various lighting conditions.

The meter features configurable alarms for low (LO) and high (HI) voltage thresholds, alerting the user if critical parameters deviate.

Sleep mode is an energy-saving feature that reduces the meter's power consumption to 0.60W (compared to 1.00W in normal operation). If no interaction occurs for 10 minutes, the display switches to sleep mode, leaving only a decimal point lit, which extends battery life.

The meter has a three-button interface. The arrow buttons allow you to switch the display between Volts and Amps, and to adjust values in MENU mode. The center button is used to dim the display, to access MENU mode (by holding it for 2 seconds), and to save values.

The display face is splash-proof and its circuits are coated for enhanced corrosion resistance. However, it is not intended for use in very humid environments or outdoors without additional protection.

The meter must be installed in a visible position, easily accessible for operating the buttons. The location must be dry and protected. For optimal visibility, it is recommended not to place it in direct sunlight.

The 8248-BSS multifunction digital meter requires a direct current (DC) power supply within a range of 8 to 50V DC.

Yes, installation requires the ability to make high-current capacity connections as well as direct connections to the battery's positive terminal. Basic electrical skills are essential. If you lack these, it is recommended to hire a qualified electrician.

During installation, it is imperative to wear safety glasses, disconnect all power sources, and ensure no sparks are created that could ignite battery gases. Connections must be made carefully and protected by fuses as indicated in the wiring diagram.

For optimal display visibility, avoid placing the display in direct sunlight, even if the screen has adjustable brightness. The location must also be dry and protected.

The meter is specifically designed for direct current (DC) electrical systems and is suitable for protected indoor marine environments. It is compatible with systems having a supply voltage of 8 to 50V DC.

For current measurement, the 8248-BSS multifunction digital meter is compatible with a 500A-50mV shunt.

No, the meter is specifically designed for protected interior marine environments. Its face is splash-proof and its circuits are corrosion-coated, but it is not intended for use in highly humid environments or outdoors without additional protection.
