Description

The Speedhut 4-1/2" EV Orion -200-1200 Amp/0-80C Motor Temp (FOR45-DG7-EV) is a comprehensive monitoring solution designed specifically for electric vehicles. This gauge provides real-time readings of two critical parameters: the electric current flowing through your EV’s system and the temperature of the motor. With a clear and easy-to-read display, you can stay informed about your vehicle’s performance and the thermal state of its powertrain. The integrated warning light adds an extra layer of safety, alerting you to potential motor overheating. Engineered for seamless integration with EV systems utilizing a CAN-Bus communication protocol at a 500K baud rate, this gauge delivers accurate and dependable data, empowering you with valuable insights into your electric vehicle’s operation.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Dual Monitoring: Simultaneously displays both the electric current (ranging from -200 to 1200 Amps, indicating both power draw and regeneration) and the motor temperature (ranging from 0 to 80 degrees Celsius).
• Overheat Warning: Features a built-in warning light that illuminates when the motor temperature exceeds 70°C, providing a timely alert to prevent potential damage.
• CAN-Bus Integration: Designed to communicate directly with your EV’s CAN-Bus system (at a 500K baud rate), ensuring accurate and up-to-date data acquisition from the vehicle’s core electronics.
• Clear Visuals: The 4-1/2" gauge offers a large and easily readable display, allowing you to quickly assess critical vehicle parameters.
• Metric Units: Displays temperature readings in Celsius, a widely understood unit of measurement.

HOW TO USE:

1. Installation: Mount the 4-1/2" Speedhut Dual Gauge into a 4.230" (108mm) diameter opening in your vehicle’s dashboard or instrument panel. Secure it using the appropriate mounting hardware.
2. Wiring Connection: Connect the provided harnesses to the gauge and your vehicle’s electrical system. Ensure the 3 ft Power & Lighting Harness is properly connected for the gauge’s power and illumination.
3. CAN-Bus Integration: Utilize the EV CAN Jumper Harness and EV CAN Harness to establish a connection between the gauge and your vehicle’s CAN-Bus network. Ensure the connection is made to the correct CAN-Bus lines operating at 500K baud rate.
4. Monitoring: Once properly installed and connected, the gauge will begin displaying real-time readings for both the electric current and the motor temperature as the vehicle operates.
5. Warning Light Observation: Pay attention to the integrated warning light. If the motor temperature rises above 70°C, the light will illuminate, indicating a potential need to reduce stress on the motor.
