Speedhut 2-1/16″ Programmable Fuel Level Gauge w/ Warning (R2-FL1-REV)

Description

The Speedhut 2-1/16″ Programmable Fuel Level Gauge w/ Warning (R2-FL1-REV) provides accurate and reliable monitoring of your vehicle’s fuel level. Its key feature is its broad compatibility, working seamlessly with fuel level sending units ranging from 0 to 300 ohms. This adaptability makes it an excellent choice for a wide variety of automotive applications, including custom builds and replacements. The gauge offers both convenient preset ohm ranges for quick installation and a manual calibration option for fine-tuning with specific or less common sensors. A built-in low fuel warning light enhances safety by alerting you when it’s time to refuel. The smooth and precise needle movement, driven by a stepper motor, ensures clear and dependable readings. Designed for ease of use and performance, this gauge is a practical addition to any vehicle.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Simplified Installation: Features built-in preset ohm ranges, allowing for fast and straightforward setup with common fuel sensor types.
• Customizable Accuracy: Offers a manual calibration option, enabling precise readings even with unique or non-standard fuel level sensors.
• Reliable Performance: Employs a stepper motor to deliver smooth and accurate needle movement, providing consistent fuel level indication.
• Low Fuel Alert: Includes an integrated warning light that illuminates when the fuel level drops to a predetermined low point, reminding the driver to refuel.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for a broad spectrum of vehicles and fuel systems due to its programmable nature and compatibility.
• Easy Configuration: Designed to be user-friendly, making the setup and calibration process relatively simple.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Gauge Type: Fuel Level Gauge
• Range: Empty (E) – Full (F)
• Fuel Level Signal Type: Compatible with sensors ranging from 0–300 ohms
• Size: 2 1/16 inch (52mm)
• Hole Size: 2.05 inch (52mm)
• Warning Light: Yes
• Included: Wiring Harness (2-Wire Cable), 3 ft Power & Lighting Harness

HOW TO USE:

• Preparation: Begin by disconnecting the vehicle’s negative battery terminal for safety.
• Mounting: Install the gauge in a 2.05-inch (52mm) diameter opening in your dashboard or gauge pod, securing it with the provided mounting hardware.
• Wiring – Power and Lighting: Connect the 3 ft Power & Lighting Harness to a suitable 12V power source (ignition switched is recommended), ground, and the vehicle’s lighting circuit if you desire the gauge to dim with your headlights.
• Wiring – Fuel Level Sensor: Connect the 2-Wire Cable to the output signal wire from your fuel level sending unit and to a reliable ground point. Refer to your vehicle’s wiring diagram or the fuel sender’s instructions for the correct wire.
• Calibration – Preset Mode (Optional): If your fuel level sender matches one of the built-in preset ohm ranges, follow the gauge’s specific instructions (usually involving pressing and holding a button during power-up) to select the appropriate preset.
• Calibration – Manual Mode (If Needed): If your sender is not a standard preset, you will need to perform manual calibration. This typically involves emptying the fuel tank as much as safely possible and setting the “Empty” point on the gauge according to the instructions. Then, fill the tank completely and set the “Full” point. The gauge will learn the resistance range of your sender.
• Warning Light Setup (Optional): Some gauges allow you to set the threshold at which the low fuel warning light illuminates. Follow the gauge’s instructions to configure this setting to your desired fuel level.
• Final Steps: Once all connections and calibrations are complete, reconnect the vehicle’s negative battery terminal and test the gauge by turning on the ignition and observing the fuel level reading as the fuel level changes.
