DC 0-20mA Analog Panel Ammeter

This Unique-Bargains 85C1 panel meter measures direct current from zero to twenty milliamperes with an accuracy class of 2.5. A transparent plastic front makes the scale easy to read at a glance. The unit fits a panel cut-out of approximately 63 by 56 millimetres and includes mounting hardware. It is suited for technicians who need a straightforward current indicator.

Replaces faulty analogue meters in existing panels

The meter serves as a direct drop-in replacement for a damaged 0-20mA movement in battery chargers, test rigs or control cabinets. A rear zero-adjustment button lets you calibrate the pointer without removing the instrument. The upgrade is worthwhile when the original scale has become illegible or the mechanism has lost linearity. It does not suit installations that require a digital readout or a different current range.

Handles 0-20mA DC monitoring duties

The movement comfortably shows charging currents, sensor loops or low-power circuit draw within its stated range. Accuracy class 2.5 means the indication stays within two and a half percent of full scale. Headroom ends at twenty milliamperes; sustained overloads will damage the mechanism. The meter cannot measure voltage, alternating current or currents above the marked limit.

Questions about this item

What are the exact panel dimensions of the 85C1 meter for cut-out planning?

The meter panel measures approximately 63 mm long, 56 mm wide and 55 mm thick, which is 2.48 x 2.2 x 2.17 inches.

How is the 85C1 wired into a DC circuit and what adjustment step is often missed?

Connect the meter in series with the load so current flows through the 0-20 mA range, then use the fine-tuning button to zero the needle before taking readings.

Does the 85C1 require any periodic calibration or component replacement?

The analog movement has no user-replaceable parts; verify accuracy against a known reference periodically and replace the unit if the class 2.5 tolerance is exceeded.
