Speedhut 4-1/2″ EV Orion 200 km/h Speedometer Gauge (FOR45-S3-EV)

Description

The Speedhut 4-1/2″ EV Orion 200 km/h Speedometer Gauge (FOR45-S3-EV) is a specialized instrument designed to provide accurate and reliable speed readings for electric vehicles. Engineered for seamless integration with your EV’s existing systems, this gauge utilizes the Controller Area Network (CAN-Bus) protocol to directly communicate with your vehicle’s Electronic Control Unit (ECU). This eliminates the need for traditional speed sensors, resulting in a clean installation and precise speed monitoring up to 200 km/h. The metric display ensures straightforward speed interpretation for users familiar with the kilometer per hour unit. Optional support for 12 Volt activated turn signals and high beam indicators further enhances its functionality, making it a valuable addition to any electric vehicle build or upgrade.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Accurate Speed Readings: Directly receives speed data from the EV’s ECU via CAN-Bus, ensuring precise and real-time speed information.
• Simplified Installation: Integrates easily into the vehicle’s CAN-Bus network (500K baud rate), eliminating the complexity of installing traditional speed sensors.
• Metric Display: Clearly displays speed in kilometers per hour (km/h), a widely used metric unit.
• Optional Indicators: Offers the possibility to connect and display 12 Volt activated turn signal and high beam indicators (wiring may be required).
• Complete Wiring Solution: Ships with essential harnesses, including the EV CAN Harness, 3 ft Power & Lighting Harness, and EV CAN Jumper Harness, facilitating a straightforward connection process.
