Ampereomierz analogowy prądu stałego 0–25 A z bocznikiem

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

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

This ammeter requires an input voltage of 8 to 16 volts 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 a location free from flammable vapors, such as those from propane, gasoline, or lead-acid batteries.

This ammeter can be installed in two main ways:

Surface mounting: 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 mounting: 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 to mount a single ammeter. Part number 8014 to mount two ammeters.

Yes, it is imperative to disconnect all AC and DC power sources before starting the installation. Disconnect the main positive cable from all batteries and the AC shore power cord 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 size to carry this current. The wire size will depend on the total circuit length (total length of the positive and negative wires). A fuse or circuit breaker must 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 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 end of the wire closest to the positive side of the circuit to the ammeter terminal marked + (positive). Connect the end of the wire 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 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 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 following 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 within the circuit.

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