Speedhut 2-1/16″ Antique Series 6-18V Volt Gauge (L2-V1-ATQ)

Description

The Speedhut 2-1/16″ Antique Series 6-18V Volt Gauge (L2-V1-ATQ) offers a reliable and aesthetically pleasing way to monitor your vehicle’s electrical system. Designed with a classic, vintage-inspired look, this gauge seamlessly integrates into a variety of dashboards, particularly those of older or traditionally styled vehicles. Its primary function is to provide accurate real-time readings of the voltage within your vehicle’s electrical system, helping you stay informed about the health of your battery and charging components.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Directly measures voltage from the power wire, offering immediate and accurate 6–18 volt readings.
• Standard Size Compatibility: 2 1/16 inch (52mm) fits many common gauge pods and mounting solutions.
• Includes 3 ft Power & Lighting Harness: Simplifies wiring for both power and integrated LED illumination.
• Clear Voltage Readout: Allows proactive identification of potential electrical problems.
• Antique Series Styling: Adds classic elegance to your vehicle’s interior.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Gauge Type: Voltage Gauge
• Voltage Signal Type: Voltage from Power Wire
• Range: 6–18 volts
• Size: 2 1/16 inch (Standard)
• Hole Size: 2.05 inch (52mm)
• Warning Light: No
• Included: 3 ft Power & Lighting Harness – for LED Lit Gauges and Clocks

HOW TO USE:

1. Mount the Gauge: Choose a suitable location on your dashboard or in a gauge pod with a 2.05 inch (52mm) diameter opening. Secure the gauge in place.
2. Connect the Power Wire: Using the provided 3 ft power and lighting harness, connect the designated power wire from the gauge to a suitable power source in your vehicle’s electrical system. Ensure this connection is secure and properly insulated.
3. Connect the Ground Wire: Connect the ground wire from the harness to a reliable ground point on your vehicle’s chassis. A good ground connection is essential for accurate readings.
4. Connect the Lighting Wire (Optional): If you wish to utilize the LED backlighting, connect the lighting wire from the harness to your vehicle’s lighting circuit (e.g., headlight or parking light wire). This will illuminate the gauge when your lights are turned on.
5. Verify Connections: Double-check all wire connections to ensure they are secure and correct.
6. Test the Gauge: With the vehicle’s ignition turned on, observe the gauge reading. It should indicate the current voltage of your vehicle’s electrical system. If the engine is running, the reading will typically be higher (within the 12.5V–14.5V range for a standard 12V system).
