Blue Sea Systems 360 DC Voltmeter Panel, 4.75 x 4.88 in, 3-Position Switch

Overview

The Blue Sea Systems 360 Panel System DC Voltmeter Panel is a 3-bank DC voltage monitoring panel for checking multiple battery banks from one meter location. It fits the Blue Sea Systems 360 Panel System format and uses a 3-position selector switch so the operator can view voltage from separate battery banks without installing a separate meter for each bank.

This panel is available in analog and digital meter configurations. The analog version reads 8 to 16 V DC for typical 12 V DC systems, while the digital version reads 7 to 60 V DC and is suited to a wider range of DC electrical systems. Both versions share a 12 V DC nominal panel specification and a 4.75 in height by 4.88 in width panel size, which helps when matching the panel to an existing 360 System layout.

Key features

• 3-position selector switch allows one voltmeter to monitor up to three battery banks.
• 360 Panel System format supports clean integration with matching Blue Sea Systems 360 modules.
• Analog configuration covers 8 to 16 V DC for straightforward monitoring on 12 V DC installations.
• Digital configuration covers 7 to 60 V DC and uses a 4-digit LED display for easy voltage reading.
• Panel size is 4.75 in high by 4.88 in wide for consistent fit within the 360 Panel System layout.
• Useful at the helm, nav station, electrical panel, or battery control area where quick bank voltage checks matter before starting engines, running loads, or charging at dockside.

Variants

This DC voltmeter panel is offered in two configurations, each using the same 3-bank selector concept but with a different meter style and voltage range.

The main differences are the meter display type and the DC voltage range shown by the meter. The shared panel format and 3-position battery bank selection remain consistent across the range.

• 1473: Analog meter, 8 to 16 V DC. This version uses the analog meter layout for quick visual checks on standard 12 V DC battery systems and includes the Blue Sea Systems 8003 DC analog voltmeter.
• 1474: Digital meter, 7 to 60 V DC. This version uses a 4-digit LED display for a wider DC voltage range and includes the Blue Sea Systems 8235 DC digital voltmeter.

Installation and use

This panel is intended for installations where multiple battery banks need to be checked from a single location, such as house, start, and auxiliary banks on cruising boats, fishing boats, or refit projects with separated DC storage. The selector switch keeps the panel simple to use, with each switch position tied to a battery bank input for direct voltage monitoring.

Before installation, match the selected version to the vessel voltage system and confirm the available panel space against the listed 360 Panel System dimensions. The analog configuration is the better fit for standard 12 V DC voltage checks, while the digital configuration is more appropriate where a broader DC voltage range is required.
