Analoog pingemõõtur alalisvoolule – 8–16 V alalisvoolu

The Blue Sea 8003 analog voltmeter is designed to monitor onboard electrical systems by providing an accurate voltage measurement. It is an essential tool for proactive battery management.

This voltmeter operates within an input voltage range of 8 V DC to 16 V DC.

The Blue Sea 8003 analog voltmeter provides an accuracy of 3% of full scale.

Yes, the voltmeter is equipped with an LED backlight. For a 12V DC system, the backlight is red, and for a 24V DC system, it is orange.

The voltmeter's electrical consumption is only 1 milliampere. The backlight consumes about 16 mA for a 12V DC system (red) and 20 mA for a 24V DC system (orange).

Yes, the needle of all analog voltmeters can be recalibrated if necessary. Use a small screwdriver to turn the pitch adjustment screw no more than 90° left or right.

No, the Blue Sea 8003 voltmeter is not ignition-protected. It must be installed in an area free from flammable vapors.

This voltmeter can be mounted in two ways: surface mount or panel mount.

The required mounting hole for model 8003 is 53.95 mm (1-7/8 inches) in diameter.

Use a minimum 16 AWG wire. Red is for positive and black or yellow for negative (ABYC recommends yellow for negative).

Yes, it is mandatory to install a 1 A fuse on the positive wire, close to the power source.

For backlighting:

Connect the yellow negative wire to a DC ground. Connect the red positive wire to a 12 V DC positive power supply, or the orange positive wire to a 24 V DC positive power supply. The positive power supply is typically connected to a switch that controls the ship’s night lighting. The unused positive wire must be insulated.

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

No, you must not connect the voltmeter in series (inline) on a circuit. It must be wired in parallel.

Yes, the voltmeter is compatible with 12V DC and 24V DC systems for its backlight, although its measurement range is 8 to 16V DC. It is designed for systems with a nominal voltage within this range.

Model PN 8003 is the standard voltmeter, while PN 8028 is a micro-voltmeter. They differ in their physical dimensions: the 8003 has a front width of 66.68 mm and a mounting hole of 53.95 mm, whereas the 8028 is smaller.

Yes, the voltmeter can be used to measure the open-circuit voltage of different battery types. However, note that different battery types require different voltage stabilization times for reliable readings.

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

Yes, the nuts and washers required to secure the four mounting studs are provided in the accessory package.
