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
