Egyenáramú analóg ampermérő – 0–25 A shuntnal

This Blue Sea 8005 analog DC ammeter is designed to measure direct current in a range from 0 to 25 amperes.

The accuracy of the analog display of this ammeter is 3% of the full measurement range.

This ammeter requires an input voltage of 8 to 16 V DC to operate correctly.

The electrical consumption of the ammeter is 1 milliampere at full scale.

The Blue Sea 8005 model includes an internal shunt for direct current measurement, simplifying installation.

No, this ammeter is not protected against ignition. It must be installed in an area free from flammable vapors, such as those from propane, gasoline, or lead-acid batteries.

This ammeter can be installed in two main ways:

Surface-mount: Requires drilling five clearance holes and using the supplied nuts and washers to secure the four mounting studs. This method is suitable for mounting surfaces up to 5/8 inch thick.
Flush-mount: For thicker mounting surfaces, the ammeter can be installed in a 0.125-inch-thick panel.

Yes, Blue Sea Systems offers dedicated mounting panels for its standard-size meters. For the 8005 model, you can use:

Part number 8013 for mounting a single ammeter. Part number 8014 for mounting two ammeters.

Yes, it is mandatory to disconnect all AC and DC power supplies before starting the installation. Unplug the main positive cable from all batteries and the AC power cord from the dock to eliminate any risk of short-circuit or electric shock.

Choose a mounting location protected from water at the front and rear of the meter. It is crucial not to install it in an area where flammable vapors (from propane, gasoline, or lead-acid batteries) could accumulate, as the device is not protected against ignition and could ignite them.

Since the ammeter uses an internal shunt, the total current to be measured must pass through it. Therefore, it is necessary to use wiring of sufficient gauge to carry this current. The wire size will depend on the total length of the circuit (total length of the positive and negative wires). A fuse or circuit breaker must absolutely be installed on the positive wire leading to the meter. The choice of wire and fuse must be based on the tables provided by the manufacturer in the technical documentation.

Shunt-type ammeters like the model 8005 must be installed in series in the circuit whose current is to be measured.

When installing the ammeter in the circuit:

Connect the wire end closest to the positive side of the circuit to the ammeter terminal marked + (positive). Connect the wire end closest to the negative side of the circuit to the ammeter terminal marked - (negative).

Blue Sea 8005 ammeters are factory-calibrated and recalibration should normally never be necessary. However, if an adjustment is required to reset the needle to the zero mark, a screwdriver can be used on the adjustment screw located at the center of the black area on the meter face. Turn the screw no more than 90 degrees to the right or left. Do not rotate the adjustment screw a full 360 degrees.

This ammeter complies with the following European Union harmonisation legislation:

EMC Directive (2014/30/EU)RoHS Directive (2011/65/EU and amendment (EU) 2015/863)It also meets the harmonised standards EN/IEC 61000-6-3:2020 (emission standard for residential environments) and EN/IEC 61000-6-2:2016 (immunity standard for industrial environments).

No, this ammeter is an analog DC (direct current) model and is specifically designed to measure direct current only.

The primary function of this ammeter is to accurately monitor the direct current flowing through a circuit. The internal shunt allows the device to measure the total current by being inserted in series in the circuit.

This ammeter is primarily designed for marine and electrical applications on board, allowing monitoring of direct current in boat dashboards or electrical panels.
