AC Voltmeter - 0 to 250 V AC

The BLUE SEA 9354-BSS AC voltmeter is designed to measure AC voltages within a range of 0 to 250 volts AC.

This is an analog voltmeter, displaying voltage on a graduated scale.

The voltmeter provides an accuracy of 3% of the full-scale range, ensuring reliable readings for monitoring the vessel's shore power supply.

The electrical consumption of this voltmeter is minimal, around 1 milliampere.

The BLUE SEA 9354-BSS voltmeter front panel has a width of 66.70 mm (2-5/8 inches).

No, this voltmeter is not ignition-protected. It must therefore be installed in a location free of accumulations of flammable vapors from propane, gasoline, or lead-acid batteries.

Yes, the voltmeter is factory-calibrated and recalibration should normally never be required.

In the context of this voltmeter, "AC" stands for Alternating Current. The voltmeter is specifically designed to measure the voltage of electrical systems using alternating current.

This voltmeter can be installed in two different ways:

Surface mounting: Requires drilling five clearance holes. The supplied nuts and washers are used to secure the four mounting studs.Panel mounting: For thicker mounting surfaces, the meter can be mounted in a 0.125-inch-thick panel. Blue Sea Systems also offers mounting panels for its standard-size meters.

The required mounting hole diameter for the BLUE SEA 9354-BSS voltmeter is 47.60 mm (1-7/8 inches).

For wiring, the hot lead must be connected to the terminal marked "+" on the voltmeter, and the neutral lead to the terminal marked "-". It is recommended to use a wire of at least 16 AWG (black for hot, white for neutral).

It is essential to use a circuit protection device (circuit breaker or fuse) to protect the circuit being monitored and the voltmeter's sensing wires. If the existing circuit protection is oversized for the 16 AWG sensing wires, it is recommended to install a 1 amp fuse on the hot wire near the source.

No, the voltmeter must never be connected in series (inline) in the circuit. It must be wired in parallel to measure voltage correctly.

You must select a mounting location protected from water both at the front and rear of the meter. Also avoid areas where flammable vapors (from propane, gasoline, or lead-acid batteries) may accumulate, as the meter is not ignition-protected and could ignite these vapors.

Yes, although recalibration is rarely necessary, it is possible to adjust the needle to the zero mark. A set screw is located at the center of the black area on the front face of the meter. Using a small screwdriver, turn the screw no more than 90 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise to adjust the needle position.

Yes, the voltmeter comes with the nuts and washers required for surface mounting, included in the accessory pack.

The manufacturer strongly recommends hiring a professional electrician to perform the installation if you lack the necessary knowledge of electrical systems. This ensures correct and safe installation of the product.

This voltmeter is a standalone, easy-to-use solution for measuring AC voltage. It can supplement electrical panels lacking advanced digital monitoring or serve as a backup instrument, but it is not an integrated digital energy management system like those offered by B&G or Garmin, which display multiple data points on multifunction displays.

No, this voltmeter is specifically designed to measure alternating current (AC) voltages in the 0–250 V range. It is not suitable for 12 V or 24 V direct current (DC) systems.
