Continental’s New Line of VDO SingleViu Instruments Replaces Both Analog and CAN Gauges

• Eliminates need for master instrument.

• Features both CAN and analog inputs in the same gauge.

Allentown, PA, August 1, 2018. The Commercial Vehicles & Aftermarket business unit of Continental, a leading global innovator and supplier of instrumentation systems and components, has introduced a new line of robust and highly versatile round instrumentation for use in on-highway and off-highway applications including, agricultural, mining, and stationary power applications.

The VDO SingleViu instrument series features a dual input that allows operation with analog signals and digitally with CAN bus. These advanced instruments provide all of the functions of the legendary VDO Vision, ViewLine, and CANcockpit instrument lines, and are ideally suited for heavy-duty trucks, buses, and off-highway equipment.

The VDO SingleViu line is available in 74 variants for original equipment, retrofit, or service replacement. VDO SingleViu is easy to use and provides an excellent user interface via the LCD display on the speedometers and tachometers. The SingleViu line includes 2 1/16 in (52mm) dia. gauges for temperature, fuel, pressure, tachometer, DEF, voltage, amperage, and hourmeter. Speedometers and tachometers are also offered in 3 3/8 in (80/85mm) and 4 in (100mm) dia.

VDO SingleViu instruments accept input from digital CAN bus connection (CAN SAE J1939) and commercially available analog sensors. They feature an adaptable sensor curve or an adaptable pulse count and can be configured with the SingleViu ConfigTool or the LCD screen (speedometers and tachometers). The gauge’s electrical connection uses a watertight Molex MX150 connectors.

Built for maximum durability, VDO SingleViu gauges are designed to perform in a wide range of weather and environmental conditions. Key design features include double-glazed and shock-resistant mineral glass to prevent fogging and damage under the harshest conditions. The housings are flame-resistant environmentally sealed to class IP67. The voltage range is from 8V to 32V. The operating temperature range is -40° F to 176°F.

In addition to their rugged design, SingleViu instruments provide exceptional readability, featuring a 240° display angle and RGB LED background illumination for dial and display. An anti-reflective coating is applied to the lens to help maximize readability. The 80/85 and 100mm gauges include internal pushbuttons that can control the additional information displayed in the operating menu. Up to five tell-tales can be added to the dial face, and both bezels and dials can be adapted to meet specific customer needs.

VDO instruments deliver world-class quality and innovation and are legendary for their superb fit, finish, and appearance. Continental builds every VDO gauge with the same precision and quality as the instrumentation that Continental delivers to OEMs worldwide.
