Installation
Description
The MG3000 instruments use a “plug and play” networking technology and is connected directly to the MG3000
tachometer.
The MG3000 speedometer is controlled by a three-button keypad. The buttons and a brief description of their uses:
• UP and DOWN: Used to scroll through available pages in Normal Mode or options within the system menus.
• MODE: Used to access system menus, a short push of less than one second exits a menu and a long push of
greater than one second makes a selection.
Panel Thickness
Instruments can be mounted in panels up to 1” (13 mm) thick and in panels up to 1.5” with trimming the back clamp.
Hole Sizes
IMPORTANT: Check space behind panel to be sure there is adequate clearance for instruments exists before drilling
panel.
Cut a 3 3/8” (85 mm) diameter hole in the panel for the 4” instruments.
Cut a 4 3/8” (112 mm) diameter hole in the panel for the 5” instruments.
Attaching The Back Clamp
Insert instrument into the panel cutout. Slide back clamp on gauge, place washer and finger tighten the nut (6-8 inch
pounds). Repeat for second stud.

Power On
Turn the ignition key to the ON position. It is not required to start the engine for system
initialization. The power on sequence for the tachometer and speedometer consists of a
Self-Test, which occurs at every power on event. The Self-Test process consists of the
following steps:
1) If initialization is complete, the LCD will display SELF TEST. All of the lights in the
MG3000 blink. Dial lights first, LCD back lights and then warning lights.
2) All system pointers will return to the zero position.
3) All system pointers will sweep to full scale.
4) All system pointers will go to current value.
When the Self-Test is complete, if the gauge displays data then the system initialization has
already been completed. To customize the data displayed in the LCD go to Display Settings on
page 10.
Otherwise, if this is the first time you have powered on your MG3000 speedometer, you will be
prompted to System Setup. Complete the required system setup.
System Setup (Speedometer)
The speedometer initialization is required for the installed system to operate correctly. In order
to complete the initialization process the user must select the set the number of tanks in the
system. If you do not know that the system is monitoring tanks set the number of tanks to zero
(0). This setting will be set up at the factory.
The following sections describe the steps necessary to complete the speedometer initialization.
Select Number of Tanks
The first part of the initialization is selecting the tanks connected in the system. (This feature
may not be available in all speedometers.
1) Use the UP or DOWN buttons to select the number of tanks to be used. If you do not
know how many tanks are available use 0.
2) Press and hold the MODE button to save the tank selection. The LCD screen displays,
SETTING SAVED!, along with an audible beep.
3) When numbers of tanks is complete, the initialization is complete and the display will
read, BASIC INITIALIZATION COMPLETE!. The MG3000 issues an audible beep.
