CAN-Communicator-2A and 3A Gauges (C-COM 2A & 3A)

C-COM-2A-new

Specs and features for the 2A and 3A gauges are the same except one is a 2-inch gauge and the other a 3-inch gauge. They connect directly to the J1939 CAN data bus and are robustly packaged. Ideal for stand-alone applications, they give the manufacturer the freedom to add instrumentation anywhere in a vehicle. They can be specified to read out as a speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, pressure gauge, etc., or as a completely custom readout.
