Introduction
he DCE provides accurate low cost instrumentation
T
for 3 banks of batteries between 9.5 and 33 Volts. The
unit displays voltage for three banks and amps or
amp-hours for your house bank. It tracks all current
entering and leaving the house bank and applies
Peukert's and effi ciency factors. You can set Low and
High voltage alarms and Low Amp-Hours Remaining
alarms on the house bank. When activated, the
built-in 85 dB alarm will sound and the display will
fl ash. The DCE outputs NMEA 0183 serial data or
the data line can be programmed as an external
alarm output or as a charger on-off control. Five
levels or backlighting can be selected and all set-up,
calibration constants and alarm values are saved to
non-volatile memory. The DCE comes complete with a
precision 500amp shunt and is designed to work with
50-500 amp 50mV shunts. (Unit must be recalibrated if
other than 500 amp shunt is used.)
Installation
Before starting the installation, please read this entire
section first. The instrument may be installed in a
bulkhead. Remove the rear bracket, attach wiring as
explained in the following section, then reassemble and
install as shown in the diagram below. Finger tighten
the nuts that secure the bracket – do not use tools. (You
may use Lock-Tite to keep the nuts from vibrating loose.)
Be sure to slide the bulkhead gasket over the instrument
body before you install the instrument.
Drill a 2-1/8" (55mm) mounting hole (or use NEWMAR's
Single or Dual Universal Meter Panel Blanks) as shown
in FIGURE 1.

Bring the shunt wires, ground, and power lines out
of the mounting hole and through the large opening
in the DCE mounting bracket. Use a small fl at-tip
screwdriver to make the connections to the screw
terminal on the instrument case back as shown in
