Faria Instruments MG2000 - Manual (Page 5)

The FARIA MG2000 Tachometer
combines the features of an ECU serial
bus gateway and several instruments
into one unit:
• The tachometer is analog in
appearance but driven by a stepper
motor for digital accuracy.
• The high resolution LCD screen
displays information for many other
functions and the various “screens”
can be configured as the user
wishes. As received, the screens
are configured as shown in Fig. 1.
The MG2000 receives digital engine data
from the Engine Control Unit (ECU) via
the GM ALDL bus and can receive GPS
information via a NMEA 0183 connection
to a suitable GPS unit. GPS information
is displayed in the MG2000 speedometer.
Analog inputs are provided for two non-
engine sensors such as fuel level and oil
pressure.
The MG2000 provides a Faria Bus output
to allow use of various other 5, 4, and 2
inch instruments with the MG2000.
The Faria MG2000 Tachometer will turn
on when the ignition key is turned on and
will turn off when the ignition key is turned
off. The unit will power up showing the
default screen selected by the user.

The instrument has three push buttons;
“M” “Mode”, “Down”, and “Up”; that
control the functions available. The “M”
“Mode” button is used to change the
function of the LCD display and to access
submenus and adjustable settings. The
“Down” and “Up” buttons are used to
modify the settings.
In the “Normal” operation mode, pressing
the “Mode” button and then pressing
“Down” or “Up” button causes the display
