• CAN-Bus Integration: Utilizes the EV’s Controller Area Network (CAN) bus at a 500K baud rate for direct and digital communication of amp data, potentially offering higher accuracy and simplified wiring.
• Real-Time Data: Provides immediate and continuous readings of the current flow, allowing for instant assessment of power usage and system performance.
• Diagnostic Capability: Enables users to monitor the electrical system’s behavior, aiding in the identification of potential inefficiencies or issues within the electric powertrain.
• Standard Size: The 2-1/16" (52mm) gauge size ensures compatibility with a wide range of aftermarket gauge pods and mounting solutions.
• Complete Wiring Included: Ships with the necessary EV CAN harness, a 3 ft power and lighting harness for LED illumination, and an EV CAN jumper harness for straightforward installation.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Gauge Type: Amp
• Signal Type: CAN-Bus (500K baud rate)
• Range: -200 to 1200 amps
• Size: 2 1/16 inch (52mm)
• Hole Size: 2.10 inches (54mm)
• Included: EV CAN Harness, 3 ft Power & Lighting Harness, EV CAN Jumper Harness

HOW TO USE:

1. Identify the Vehicle’s CAN Bus: Locate the appropriate CAN bus wires within your electric vehicle that transmit amp data at a 500K baud rate. Consult your vehicle’s service manual for precise locations.
2. Connect the EV CAN Harness: Attach the provided EV CAN harness to the identified CAN bus wires in your vehicle. Ensure proper and secure connections.
3. Connect the Gauge: Plug the other end of the EV CAN harness into the designated port on the Speedhut EV Amp Gauge.
4. Connect Power and Lighting: Use the 3 ft power and lighting harness to connect the gauge to a suitable power source (typically 12V) and ground in your vehicle. This harness also controls the gauge’s LED illumination.
5. Utilize the Jumper Harness (If Needed): The EV CAN jumper harness may be required depending on your specific vehicle’s CAN bus configuration. Refer to the Speedhut documentation or your vehicle’s manual for guidance on its use.
6. Mount the Gauge: Install the 2-1/16" gauge into a suitable 2.10" (54mm) mounting hole or gauge pod in your vehicle.
7. Verify Operation: Once all connections are secure, power on your vehicle. The Speedhut EV Amp Gauge should now display the real-time current flow of your electric powertrain.
