SPECIFICATIONS:

• Gauge Type: Voltage Gauge
• SKU: R2-V1-SXL
• Voltage Range: 6-18 volts DC
• Size: 2 1/16 inch (52mm)
• Hole Size: 2.05 inch (52mm)
• Warning Light: Yes
• Ships With: 3 ft Power & Lighting Harness – for LED Lit Gauges and Clocks

HOW TO USE:

1. Preparation: Identify a suitable 2.05 inch (52mm) mounting location in your vehicle’s dashboard or instrument panel.
2. Wiring: Connect the provided 3 ft Power & Lighting Harness. Typically, this involves connecting to a 12V power source (ignition-switched is recommended), ground, and potentially a lighting circuit if you want the gauge to dim with your vehicle’s lights. Refer to your vehicle’s wiring diagram and the Speedhut instructions for specific connections.
3. Mounting: Insert the gauge into the 2.05-inch hole from the front. Secure it from the back using the spin-lock ring, tightening it until the gauge is firmly in place.
4. Warning Light Setup: Once the gauge is powered, you will likely need to set the desired voltage threshold for the warning light. Refer to the Speedhut instructions for the specific procedure to adjust the warning set point.
5. Operation: The gauge will now continuously display your vehicle’s voltage when the ignition is on. If the voltage drops below or rises above your set warning threshold, the warning light will illuminate.
