{"product_id":"qbp439887","title":"Blue Sea Systems AC Analog Micro Voltmeter, 2 in Face, Backlit, 2-Wire Connection","description":"\u003ch6\u003eOverview\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Blue Sea Systems AC Analog Micro Voltmeter is a compact analog panel meter for monitoring AC voltage on a boat’s electrical panel. It is offered in 0 to 150V AC and 0 to 250V AC ranges, giving the installer a scale that matches the onboard AC system being monitored.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2 in face keeps the meter easy to fit into tight helm, cabin, or distribution panel layouts while still giving a clear dial reading. The scale is marked in 5 volt increments, which makes it useful for quick checks of shore power, generator output, or AC distribution voltage without scrolling through a digital display.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe meter connects to AC hot and neutral for voltage sensing and powers itself from that same connection. The face is backlit for low-light panels, with separate 12V or 24V DC backlight wiring depending on the vessel’s lighting circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalog AC voltage monitoring for marine electrical panels, with 0 to 150V AC and 0 to 250V AC configurations available.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 in meter face fits compact panel layouts where full-size instrumentation would take up too much space.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDial marked in 5 volt increments for quick voltage checks at the helm, nav station, or main AC panel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimple connection to AC hot and neutral for sensing, with the meter powered from the same AC connection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBacklit face helps keep the voltage reading visible in cabins, engine rooms, and low-light panel locations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparate 12V or 24V DC backlight connections allow the illumination to tie into common onboard DC lighting circuits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow weight of 0.19 lb makes it easy to integrate into lightweight panels and retrofit installations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eVariants\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis voltmeter is offered in two configurations that differ by AC voltage range. The right range depends on the AC system or panel section being monitored.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth variants share the same micro analog meter format, 2 in face size, backlit face, and AC hot and neutral sensing connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8244, Function 0 to 150V. This range keeps the dial focused for lower-voltage AC monitoring, such as panels where the expected reading sits well within a 150V scale.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8245, Function 0 to 250V. This range gives more headroom on the dial for higher-voltage AC monitoring where a 150V scale would not be appropriate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse this meter in an AC panel location where the face can be read easily and the rear terminals can be protected from contact. The sensing connection is made to AC hot and neutral, so installation should follow the vessel’s AC wiring practices and should be handled with the AC source isolated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe backlight uses separate DC wiring, which allows the meter illumination to come on with the rest of the panel lighting. Use the correct backlight leads for a 12V or 24V DC lighting circuit so the illumination matches the boat’s electrical setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis meter is a practical match for boat owners and installers who want a dedicated AC voltage reading at the distribution panel without adding a digital monitor. It is especially useful where a simple glance at shore power, inverter, or generator voltage is enough to confirm that the AC supply is in the expected range.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blue Sea Systems","offers":[{"title":"0 to 150V","offer_id":52023101391029,"sku":"QBP439887-V5","price":67.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0 to 250V","offer_id":52023101423797,"sku":"QBP439887-V9","price":67.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1333256_qbp439887.jpg?v=1780191718","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp439887","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
