Description
The Blue Sea Systems 8017 is a robust and accurate analog DC ammeter designed to measure currents up to 100 amps in 12V or 24V DC electrical systems. This meter is ideal for marine, RV, and off-grid battery monitoring applications where understanding current flow is critical to system health and performance.
Featuring a clear analog needle gauge, the 8017 allows easy real-time monitoring of current draw or charge. The included external shunt rated for 100A/50mV ensures precise measurement without running high current through the meter itself, enhancing safety and reliability.
Key Features:
-
Measures DC Current from 0 to 100 Amps: Perfect for monitoring larger battery banks or high-current loads.
-
External 100A/50mV Shunt Included: Allows safe and accurate current sensing remotely.
-
Analog Needle Display: Provides instant visual feedback with easy-to-read scale.
-
Flush-Mount Panel Design: Fits neatly into standard panel cutouts for a professional look.
-
