1. Introduction
The uxcell 91C4 DC 0-10V Analog Panel Voltage Gauge is designed for measuring direct current (DC) voltage within a range of 0 to 10 volts. This instruction manual provides essential information for the safe installation, operation, and maintenance of the device. Please read this manual thoroughly before use.
2. Safety Information
Always observe the following safety precautions to prevent personal injury or damage to the meter and other equipment:
- Ensure the power supply to the circuit being measured is disconnected before installation or wiring.
- Verify that the voltage to be measured does not exceed the meter's specified range (DC 0-10V).
- Connect the meter correctly according to the wiring diagram. Incorrect polarity can damage the meter.
- Do not use the meter in environments with excessive moisture, dust, or corrosive gases.
- This meter is designed for DC voltage measurement only. Do not connect to AC circuits.
- Only qualified personnel should perform installation and maintenance.

5. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of the voltage gauge:
- Prepare Panel Cutout: Create a square cutout in your panel with dimensions appropriate for the meter (approximately 45mm x 45mm). Ensure the cutout is clean and free of burrs.
- Insert Meter: Carefully insert the meter into the prepared panel cutout from the front.
- Secure Meter: From the rear of the panel, use the provided bolts and screws to secure the meter in place. Tighten them evenly to prevent damage to the meter casing.
- Wiring:
- Identify the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals on the back of the meter.
- Connect the positive lead from the DC circuit to be measured to the meter's positive (+) terminal.
- Connect the negative lead from the DC circuit to be measured to the meter's negative (-) terminal.
- Ensure all connections are secure and insulated to prevent short circuits.
- Verify Connections: Double-check all wiring before applying power to the circuit.

6. Operating Instructions
Once installed and wired correctly, operating the uxcell 91C4 voltage gauge is straightforward:
- Apply Power: Turn on the power supply to the DC circuit being monitored.
- Read Measurement: The meter's needle will move across the scale to indicate the current DC voltage. Read the value directly from the scale.
- Observe Range: Ensure the needle remains within the 0-10V range. Continuous operation above the maximum rated voltage may damage the meter.

7. Maintenance
The uxcell 91C4 voltage gauge requires minimal maintenance:
- Cleaning: Wipe the meter's front panel with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspection: Periodically check the wiring connections for tightness and signs of corrosion.
- Environment: Ensure the operating environment remains within suitable conditions (e.g., avoid extreme temperatures or humidity).
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Meter needle does not move. | No power to the circuit; incorrect wiring; meter malfunction. | Verify power supply; check wiring for correct polarity and secure connections; if issues persist, meter may be faulty. |
| Meter needle shows incorrect reading. | Incorrect wiring; meter calibration issue; external interference. | Recheck wiring; ensure the measured voltage is within the meter's range; if possible, compare with a known accurate voltmeter. |
| Meter needle is stuck or erratic. | Physical damage; internal component failure. | Inspect for visible damage; if internal, meter may need replacement. |
