5. Installation Guide

1. Choose Mounting Location: Select a suitable flat surface on your vehicle, boat, or equipment. Ensure there is enough space behind the panel for wiring.
2. Prepare Mounting Hole:
   • If using the provided panel, mark the positions for the two mounting screws.
   • For flush mounting the meter directly, drill a 29mm (approximately 1.1 inches) diameter hole.
3. Insert Voltmeter:
   • If using the panel, insert the voltmeter into the panel's circular opening.
   • Secure the voltmeter to the panel using the nylon nut from the back.
   • Then, attach the assembled unit to your chosen surface using the two mounting screws.
4. Wiring Connections:
   • Connect the red wire from the voltmeter to the positive (+) terminal of your DC power source (e.g., battery or ignition-switched positive).
   • Connect the black wire from the voltmeter to the negative (-) terminal of your DC power source or a suitable ground point.
   • Ensure connections are secure and insulated to prevent short circuits.
5. Test Operation: Once wired, apply power to the circuit. The voltmeter display should illuminate and show the current voltage.

6. Operating Instructions

The DAIERTEK Battery Voltage Meter operates automatically once connected to a power source within its specified voltage range (DC 8-48V).

• Real-time Voltage Display: The blue LED screen will continuously show the current DC voltage of the connected system.
• Interpreting Readings:

  Voltage Range	Status
  Less than 12V	Battery low. Charge or replace the battery as soon as possible.
  12V - 12.8V	Normal voltage range before starting the engine/system.
  12.8V - 14.8V	Normal voltage range after starting the engine/system (indicating charging).

• Visibility: The blue LED display is designed for clear visibility in various lighting conditions, including dark environments.
