- Plug in the supplied cable to the rear of the gauge. Either one of the two connectors may be used.
- The cable length is 8’. If the optional 5’ extension cable (part no. 41-001.10) is being used, the extension cable should be plugged in to the rear of the gauge first. The orange illumination wire in the extension cable is used for illumination control and the orange wire in the gauge cable can be removed by pulling out from the back (or coiling up and taping out of the way).
- If using more than one gaugeART CAN Gauge, join the two gauges using the optional daisy chain cable (part no. 41-001.11).
- ECU specific cables: For ECUs that have a built-in CAN connector on the ECU or in the harness, an optional ECU-specific cable is available from gaugeART. If you are using an optional ECU-specific cable, route the cable to the ECU and connect the cable to the ECU. You may need to separately terminate +12V and ground, depending on the cable.
- Standard unterminated cables: Using the terminals supplied with your ECU, strip off the ends of the wires and crimp the terminals to the end of the wires.
red: ignition powered +12v (5 amp fused)
black: chassis ground
orange: +12V illumination power
white: CAN high
green: CAN low - Install the terminals into the ECU connectors according to the instructions included with your ECU. An example of a typical double barrel rolling crimper used for terminal crimping and completed crimped terminal is shown below. Contact your ECU manufacturer for required instructions including suitable terminals, connectors, and tools.

example of a double barrel rolling crimp tool – used for many types of ECU terminals
example of a crimped terminal on stranded wire- If your ECU does not have an available switched +12v or ground source, extend the wires to an available ignition switched and fused power source and chassis ground source.
IMPORTANT WIRING NOTES:
- Proper terminal crimping is critical. Contact your ECU manufacturer for required terminals, connectors, tools, and instructions.
- +12V power source must be fused. The +12V power source must have a fused power source, not to exceed 5 amps.
