• Versatile Compatibility: The 6-18 volt range makes it suitable for a variety of 12V and potentially some 24V electrical systems.
• Standard Mounting Size: Requires a standard 2.67″ (68mm) diameter hole for easy installation in most dashboards or gauge pods.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Gauge Type: Voltage Gauge
• Voltage Signal Type: Voltage from Auxiliary Wire
• Range: 6-18 volts
• Size: 2 5/8 inch
• Hole Size: 2.67 inches (68mm)
• Warning Light: No
• Ships With: 3 ft Power & Lighting Harness – for LED Lit Gauges and Clocks

HOW TO USE:

1. Preparation: Choose a suitable mounting location on your dashboard or gauge pod that has a 2.67″ (68mm) diameter opening.
2. Mounting the Gauge: Carefully insert the Speedhut Volt Gauge into the prepared opening. Ensure it is securely fastened using the appropriate mounting hardware (not explicitly mentioned as included, so refer to the product packaging).
3. Wiring Connections:
   • Connect the power wire from the included 3 ft Power & Lighting Harness to a suitable 12V (or 24V if applicable and verified) power source in your vehicle. Typically, this would be an ignition-switched power source.
   • Connect the ground wire from the harness to a reliable ground point on your vehicle’s chassis.
   • Connect the auxiliary wire from the gauge to the specific point in your vehicle’s electrical system where you wish to monitor the voltage. This is usually connected directly to the battery positive terminal or another point that accurately reflects the system voltage.
   • Connect the lighting wire (if applicable for LED illumination) to your vehicle’s lighting circuit so the gauge illuminates with your other dashboard lights.
4. Testing: Once all connections are made, turn on your vehicle’s ignition. The gauge should now display the current voltage reading. Verify that the reading is within the expected range (around 12-14 volts when the engine is running for a 12V system).
5. Final Adjustments: Ensure the gauge is securely mounted and the wiring is neat and protected from damage.
