Tihendatud 12 V alalisvoolu Contura 4-positsiooniline jaotuspaneel

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 water exposures found in above-deck applications, including salt spray, rain, high-pressure washing, and brief immersions.

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

Each switch and fuse holder has a maximum rating of 20 amps for 12-volt systems and 15 amps for 24-volt systems.

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

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

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

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

The panel features chemical treatment compliant with military specification C-5541C and a graphite textured two-part 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 boat's AC power cord. This eliminates the risk of a short circuit during installation and the risk of electrocution from the AC wiring.

Yes, the panel must not be installed in explosive environments, such as gasoline engine compartments or battery compartments, because 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 watertightness 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 amperes. 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 (usually yellow) to the DC negative bus of your system.

The appropriate wire size 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 elements (such as navigation lights, bilge blowers, electronics) and 10% for other loads (such as cabin lights or bait pumps).

Any Blue Sea Systems product that 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”).
