THE UNIVERSAL GAUGE The VL Flex device can easily replicate every analog instrument thanks to the sun-readable 1.44” TFT display embedded into a standard 52 mm satellite instrument. The supported analog inputs allow you to directly read from your engine sensors, and the CAN interface expands this possibility by allowing the device to read from the digital network. The simple but effective graphic design can be set up in a single or dual layout, presenting the data in a clear and intuitive form. The colored bar graph and the alarm display allow you to visually understand your data. CONTACTLESS DEVICE CONFIGURATION (Patent Pending) The VL Flex configurator is the easiest way to configure your VL Flex device! Thanks to the contactless configuration you can setup your all-in-one instrument with a simple tap! Launch the App and define your settings through the user-friendly interface, then simply hold your mobile device in proximity of the VL Flex device to transfer the configuration. Thanks to the embedded passive antenna the configuration can be done powerless! Discover more on www.veratron.com
