Veratron VL Digital Tachometer Gauge - Black - 85mm

The Veratron VL Digital 85mm Tachometer is the powerhouse of the VL Digital range, combining a traditional large-format dial with sophisticated digital capabilities. Engineered for both marine and industrial applications, this gauge provides a comprehensive overview of engine performance and vessel health in a single, high-clarity unit. Whether it’s a new installation or a drop-in replacement for the legendary ViewLine series, the 85mm VL Digital offers unmatched versatility. The standout feature of the 85mm model is its ability to manage primary and secondary data simultaneously. While the needle provides a real-time analogue-style readout of your RPM, the integrated digital display can be configured to show auxiliary information like fuel levels, engine temperature, or battery voltage. To customise these layouts, the Veratron VL Configurator App is available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, allowing for wireless, powerless configuration via NFC (Near Field Communication). Key Features High-Contrast IBN Display: Features Integrated Black Nematics (IBN) technology for a deep black background and sharp colour segments, ensuring perfect legibility under intense sunlight and through polarised sunglasses. Dual-Layer Information: Configurable to show primary data (like RPM or Speed) alongside secondary auxiliary metrics, reducing the need for multiple dashboard instruments. PMMA Single Lens: Equipped with a high-durability PMMA lens featuring permanent anti-fog and anti-glare coatings for a clear view in all weather conditions. Effortless NFC Configuration: Setup is handled entirely via the smartphone app—simply "tap-to-upload" your settings, alarm thresholds, and sensor curves directly to the gauge. Universal Digital & Analogue Support: Accepts inputs from NMEA 2000®, J1939 (CAN), and traditional analogue sensors (frequency, resistive, and 0–5V). Smart Gateway Functionality: Converts analogue sensor data into digital NMEA 2000® messages, allowing the gauge to broadcast information to the rest of the vessel's network. IP67 Waterproofing: Fully sealed to IP67 standards at the front and IP52 at the rear, making it ideal for exposed cockpit environments.
