Speedhut 4″ Orion -200 to 1200 Amp/ 0-80C Motor Temp (FOR4-DG7-EV)

Description

The Speedhut 4″ Orion -200 to 1200 Amp/ 0-80C Motor Temp (FOR4-DG7-EV) is a vital instrument for electric vehicle owners and builders, offering a clear and precise view of critical motor parameters. This dual-function gauge simultaneously displays the electric motor’s current amperage and its operating temperature, providing essential data for performance monitoring and system health. Designed for seamless integration with EV CAN-Bus systems, particularly those utilizing Orion, Zero EV, and Thunderstruck motor controllers, this gauge delivers real-time information directly to your dashboard. The added safety of an integrated warning light ensures you are immediately alerted to potential overheating, allowing for proactive intervention.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Dual Monitoring: Displays both motor amperage (-200 to 1200 amps) and motor temperature (0-80 degrees Celsius) in a single, compact 4-inch unit, saving valuable dashboard space.
• CAN-Bus Integration: Utilizes a 500K baud rate CAN-Bus connection for direct and accurate data acquisition from compatible EV systems (Orion, Zero EV, Thunderstruck, and configurable for Openinverter).
• Overheat Warning: Features a built-in warning light that activates when the motor temperature exceeds 70 degrees Celsius, providing a clear visual indication of potential thermal issues.
• Easy Installation: Designed for straightforward integration into your EV’s existing CAN-Bus network. Requires a standard 3.93″ (100mm) mounting hole.
• Comprehensive Package: Ships with all necessary harnesses, including the EV CAN Harness, EV CAN Jumper Harness, and a 3 ft Power & Lighting Harness for LED illumination.
• Enhanced Awareness: Provides real-time data that allows you to optimize power consumption and monitor the thermal condition of your electric motor, contributing to efficient and safe operation.
