  • Overview +


    AMETEK VIS' C-COM 2G CAN-Communicator provides the advantages of a graphic display in a compact, 2-inch, gauge form-factor. This rugged and versatile gauge can be used exclusively or as a complement to any existing instrumentation simply by connecting it to an SAE J1939 CAN data bus.  The C-COM 2G can be customized specifically for your application.

    The backlit liquid crystal (LC) display is 106 pixels wide and 56 pixels high, providing clear, legible graphics for operators to view vehicle status and potential issues.   A dead-fronted warning indicator (red, amber or green) is positioned above the graphic display window to further alert the operator.  Three backlit switches with tactile feedback provide a user interface to easily navigate the menu system.  

    The C-COM 2G gauge is sealed to IP67 specifications both front and rear. The gauge operates from 9 to 32 volts DC and includes a switch-to-ground output that can be used to control an external annunciator, relay, or other device.  An optional analog input is available for increased flexibility.  Designed to withstand harsh conditions typical of off-road environments, the 2-inch graphic display gauge meets all SAE and ISO requirements for vehicular instrumentation.
