Speedhut 4-1/2″ EV Orion 160mph Speedom/BattLevel Gauge (FOR45-DS2-EV)

Description

The Speedhut 4-1/2″ EV Orion 160mph Speedom/BattLevel Gauge (FOR45-DS2-EV) integrates essential monitoring for your electric vehicle into a single, clear display. This gauge provides real-time readings for both your speed (up to 160 mph) and your battery’s State of Charge (SOC), ranging from 0 to 100%. Designed for seamless integration with EV systems utilizing CAN-Bus communication at a 500K baud rate, particularly those employing Orion, Zero EV, or Thunderstruck motor control units, this dual gauge offers a comprehensive overview of your vehicle’s vital statistics. For added safety, it features a built-in warning light that activates when your battery level falls below 15%.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Combines a 160 mph speedometer and a 0-100% battery level (SOC) gauge in one 4-1/2″ unit.
• Communicates directly with compatible EV systems via CAN-Bus (500K baud rate) for accurate data.
• Provides a visual warning when the battery’s State of Charge drops to a critical 15% level.
• Designed for straightforward integration with Orion, Zero EV, and Thunderstruck motor control units.
• Offers optional 12-volt activated indicators for turn signals and high beam.
• Ensures reliable performance with its robust design and accurate internal components.

HOW TO USE:

1. Installation: Mount the 4-1/2″ gauge in the designated 4.230″ (108mm) opening in your vehicle’s dashboard.
2. Wiring: Connect the included EV CAN Harness and EV CAN Jumper Harness to your electric vehicle’s CAN-Bus system. Ensure proper connection to the data lines.
3. Power Connection: Connect the 3 ft Power & Lighting Harness to a suitable power source in your vehicle to illuminate the gauge.
4. (Optional Indicators): If you have the optional turn signal and high beam indicators, connect their respective 12-volt signals to the designated wires on the gauge.
5. Operation: Once correctly wired, the gauge will automatically receive speed and battery level data from your EV’s CAN-Bus system when the vehicle is powered on. The speedometer will display your current speed, and the battery level display will show the State of Charge.
6. Low Battery Warning: The integrated warning light will illuminate automatically when the battery level drops below 15%, providing a clear visual alert.
