Speedhut 2-1/16″ Ballenger Air/Fuel 9-16 Gauge w/ Warning (R2-WB7-REV)

Description

The Speedhut 2-1/16″ Ballenger Air/Fuel 9-16 Gauge w/ Warning (R2-WB7-REV) is an essential instrument for anyone needing accurate real-time monitoring of their engine’s air-to-fuel ratio. Designed for compatibility with the Ballenger AFR500 and NGK AFX wideband oxygen sensor controllers, this gauge provides precise readings across a range of 9:1 to 16:1. Its standard 2-1/16 inch (52mm) size ensures easy integration into most gauge pods and mounting solutions. Featuring a built-in warning light, this gauge allows users to set critical thresholds, providing immediate visual alerts if the air/fuel mixture deviates from the desired range. This helps in maintaining optimal engine performance and preventing potential damage caused by excessively lean or rich conditions. The gauge displays readings in both standard Air-Fuel Ratio (AFR) units and metric (Lambda), offering versatility for different user preferences and diagnostic needs.

HOW TO USE:

1. Mount the Gauge: Secure the 2-1/16″ Speedhut wideband air/fuel gauge into a suitable 52mm gauge pod or mounting location in your vehicle.
2. Connect Power and Lighting: Using the provided 3 ft Power & Lighting Harness, connect the gauge to a suitable power source (typically 12V), ground, and the vehicle’s lighting circuit if you desire the gauge to illuminate with your headlights.
3. Connect to the Wideband Controller: Utilize the appropriate wiring to connect the gauge’s signal input wire to the signal output wire of your Ballenger AFR500 or NGK AFX wideband oxygen sensor controller. Ensure proper wiring according to the controller’s and gauge’s wiring diagrams.
4. Connect the Warning Light (Optional): If desired, connect the warning light output wire from the gauge to an external indicator light or buzzer.
5. Ground the Controller: Ensure your Ballenger AFR500 or NGK AFX wideband controller is properly grounded to the vehicle’s chassis.
6. Install the Wideband Oxygen Sensor: Install the wideband oxygen sensor (not included unless specified in a kit) into the exhaust system at a location recommended by the sensor and controller manufacturer.
7. Power On and Monitor: Once all connections are secure, power on your vehicle. The gauge should illuminate and display the air/fuel ratio reading received from the wideband controller.
8. Set Warning Thresholds (if applicable): Refer to the gauge’s instructions on how to set the desired high and low air/fuel ratio warning points. The warning light will activate if the readings fall outside these set parameters.

BENEFITS OF USING THE SPEEDHUT 2-1/16″ BALLENGER AIR/FUEL 9-16 GAUGE W/ WARNING (R2-WB7-REV):
