VOLTMETER FOR REMOTE MONITORING

Introduction:

The Odyssey gauge series from Dakota Digital, Inc. incorporates the
reliability and quality of our standard gauges, along with several unique features
and easy mounting. These features include:
• A warning feature that flashes the gauge readout when outside operating
limits.
• A connection for an external warning indicator that is activated when the
gauge flashes.
• User adjustable warning points.
• Microprocessor stabilized readings.
• Quick-Start feature to provide accurate readings quickly after being powered
up.
• Night dimming with lens label lighting.
• High Visibility VFD display for sunlight readability.
The voltage gauge for remote monitoring will read the voltage at an extra
battery, amplifier power connection, or other system that needs to be monitored.
The gauge will be powered from a standard accessory terminal and not from the
point it is monitoring.
The voltage gauge will operate and read correct between the voltage
range of 0.0 - 17.0 volts. While the accessory power for the gauge must be at
least 8 volts, it can monitor voltages down to 0 volts. It has a user adjustable
upper and lower warning level. This can be set to indicate low voltage and over
voltage conditions

These features include: • A warning feature that flashes the gauge readout when outside operating limits.
  • Page 2 Operation: The gauge needs only the red and black wires connected to operate. When the blue wire has 12 volts, it will dim the display for night viewing. gray wire is for the voltage monitor connection. The yellow wire will provide a ground output when the gauge reading is outside the high or low warning limit.
  • Page 3 Using external warning indicators: The yellow wire provides a ground trigger whenever the gauge is outside its set limits. Low current indicators (less than 0.25 A) can be activated directly by connecting their power wire to 12 volts and connecting their ground wire to the yellow output wire.
  • Page 4 Mounting: The gauge requires a rectangular cut out that is about 2 9/16“ x 1 11/16“. It should be inserted into the opening from the front and the U-clamp will be installed from the back. Tighten the two nuts on the U-clamp so that the gauge is secure.
