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 is 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 tachometer receives digital
engine data from the Engine Control
Unit (ECU), and Transmission Control
Unit (Commercial Application) via the
SAE J1939 bus and can receive GPS
information via a NMEA 0183 connection
to a suitable GPS unit.

The following Display Screens will be
the default screens at power up of the
MG2000 unit as supplied from the
Factory. The default screens will be
determined by the gauge application.
Pressing the “Mode” button once in
“Normal” mode then pushing the “Down”
button repeatedly will advance the
screens as shown below.
GPS information is displayed in the
MG2000 speedometer. Active Engine
and Transmission (Commercial
Application) fault codes are supported in
this version of the J1939 tachometer and
are viewed in the alarm screen.
Analog inputs are provided for two
non-engine sensors, fuel level and trim
position. An optional direct pressure
port allows monitoring of engine water
pressure if installed.
The MG2000 provides a Faria Bus
output to allow use of various 5, 4, and 2inch instruments with the MG2000. The
application will determine the instruments
supported.
The Faria MG2000 tachometer will turn
on when the ignition key is turned on
and will turn off when the ignition key is
“Normal” mode is defined as the mode
entered after power up.

Alarm Mode
The “Alarm” screen appears only if an alarm condition exists.
The alarm condition may be a warning sent from the Engine, or Transmission ECU or
a “Local” alarm such as “Low Fuel”.
When an alarm condition occurs, the “Alarm Screen” will appear and the screens
described below will be displayed.
The descriptions below also explain how to temporarily override the alarm screen and
audible / visual warnings and return to “Normal” mode. In all cases, the alarm will
re-occur after a period of time to ensure that the user remembers the alarm condition.
Once an alarm condition has been corrected, the alarm screen, horn, and warning
lights will no longer be displayed. An “ALARMS CLEAR !” screen will be displayed
for approximately 2 seconds and then return to the last screen displayed in “Normal”
mode.

The “Alarm” screen will only appear if a local alarm
or an engine, or transmission alarm occurs.
