DEF Gauges From Ametek

Ametek Vehicular Instruments Systems (VIS) has announced several solutions for gauging diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), including its C-COM and NGI (Next Generation Instrumentation) dashboard displays.

Ametek’s CAN-Communicator (C-COM) 2G displays the current DEF fluid level from the SAE J1939 data bus in a graphical chart format. C-COM offers a bi-color warning LED as well as diagnostic capabilities. In addition, AMETEK offers a module compatible with its NGI dashboard instrumentation system 2-in-1 gauge that combines both fuel level data in a standard needle gauge and DEF level in a 4-segment bar graph. The first segment changes from green to amber to red (and flashing red) to serve as a warning as the DEF level drops.

An NGI needle gauge version of the DEF Level module also is an option as well as 3-in-1 and 4-in-1 multi-gauges. DEF level also can be displayed in the lightbar message center (LMC) display. Both C-COM and NGI versions feature low DEF level warning lights.
