Multifunction digital DC meter with alarm

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

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

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

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.

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 meter has a size of 9/16" and its brightness is adjustable to suit various lighting conditions.

The meter is equipped with configurable alarms for low (LO) and high (HI) voltage thresholds, allowing the user to be alerted in case of deviation from critical parameters.

The sleep mode is an energy-saving function 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 switch the display between Volts and Amps and adjust values in MENU mode. The center button dims the display, accesses MENU mode (hold for 2 seconds), and saves values.

The meter’s front panel is splash-proof and its circuits are coated for increased corrosion resistance. However, it is not intended for use in very humid environments or outdoors without additional protection.

The display must be installed in a position that is visible and easily accessible for button operation. 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 display requires a DC power supply within the 8 to 50V DC range.

Yes, installation requires the ability to make high-current 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 mandatory to wear safety goggles, disconnect all power sources, and avoid creating sparks that could ignite battery gases. Connections must be made carefully and protected by fuses as indicated in the wiring diagram.

For optimal display visibility, it is recommended not to place 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 indoor marine environments. Its face is splash-proof and its circuits are corrosion-coated, but it is not intended for use in very humid environments or outdoors without additional protection.
