Universal Instrument Panel - Basic (UIP-B)

Universal-Instrument-Panel-Basic

The basic UIP contains two 2-inch gauges with red warning LEDs, a 3-inch speedometer, and a 7-digit, multifunction liquid crystal display, a DEF LED bargraph gauge, and up to 13 telltales.  The gauges, telltales and display can be easily customized to fit the application with minimal cost and time.

The cluster collects data from the vehicle J1939 CAN data bus, discrete switch inputs, and analog inputs. Data can also be broadcast out on the J1939 CAN data bus. The system can be expanded by adding optional external NGI or C-COM gauges.

  • Overview +


    AMETEK VIS UIP-B is part of the Universal Instrument Panel family that can satisfy the instrumentation requirements for all vehicle platforms. Easily customize the gauges, telltales and display to fit your application with minimal cost and time. 

    The cluster collects data from the vehicle J1939 CAN data bus, discrete switch inputs, and analog inputs. Data can also be broadcast out on the J1939 CAN data bus. The system can be expanded by adding optional external NGI or C-COM gauges.

    One of the four gauges is a bargraph gauge with four progressive bars that can satisfy the requirements of a DEF gauge. The green bars indicate the current level in 25% increments. Additionally the lowest bar can be changed from green to amber to red to at customer specified values to alert the operator of low and critically low conditions. 

    The backlit, 13 segment, 7-digit alphanumeric LCD displays an odometer, engine hourmeter, two resettable trip mileage and hours, diagnostic fault codes and warning messages, as well as service intervals. The LCD will also display vehicle data such as engine temperature, transmission temperature, and engine oil pressure. 

    Backlighting color is white, with color options available in each decal. Each gauge and the telltales are separate decals to maximize flexibility.
