Voltage Monitoring is an Electronics
board
that allows you to connect 5 to 14VDC on one side of the board
and get it corresponding LEDs light on the other side. Every
Car, tractor or boat should
have one. The boards will allow you to
easily monitor your 12V battery while powering from the same
battery. The Terminal Block TB
connector is included and makes it easy to use.
When used as car-battery-monitor, it provides early
warning of battery problems. Ideal to prevent flat batteries and
other embarrassing incidents on your Car, RV or boat. The board
gives visual indication via front mounted LEDs of current
battery voltage. YEP--be in the green (green LEDs) and drive
safe. Finally, connect the board to the car battery via front
mounted terminal block is a snap.
There
are three models, A, B and C. The main difference between the boards
is that each model design to monitor different range of
voltages. The changing voltages are indicate via Light Emitter Diode
(LED) L1 to L8.
Model
A: Voltage monitoring 4.25 to 6VDC while at 5V half of the
LED (left to right) will light
Model
B: Voltage monitoring 7.25 to 8.75VDC
Model
C: Voltage monitoring 11.5 to 12.5VDC
