FEATURES AND CONTROLS
New Generation Instrument (NGI)
Function Overview
Speedometer
The large numeric speedometer displays vehicle speed.
The NGI receives signals via a paddle wheel located on
the ride plate. The gauge interprets these signals and
computes actual vehicle speed.
Tachometer
The NGI has the ability to display between 0 and 9950
RPM. The gauge receives the tachometer signal from
the EMM. Display tolerance is ± 100 RPM.
Oil Level
Oil level is displayed with a 7-bar LCD graphic. Oil
levels are displayed in 1/7th increments. When the
display is 1/7th (one bar), a LOW OIL symbol and red
LED warning light will blink to alert the operator to
the low oil condition. Refill the oil tank.
Fuel Level
Fuel level is displayed with an 8-bar LCD graphic.
The level is displayed in 1/8th increments. When the
display is 1/8th (one bar) or less, a LOW FUEL
symbol and red LED warning light will blink to alert
the operator to the low fuel condition. Refill the fuel
tank.
Engine Hourmeter
The NGI retains and displays up to 999.9 hours.
Additional hours will not reset the gauge to zero. The
gauge begins to record engine hours whenever the
engine RPM is 500 RPM or higher. Memory retention
is approximately 10 years.
Clock
The NGI displays the time in the main display mode
without reference to either AM or PM.
Trip Odometer
The NGI will display accumulated miles or kilometers
traveled. Engine RPM must be at or above 500 before
the gauge will begin recording the distance traveled.
Operating the engine without oil will result in serious
engine damage. Always add oil when the level is low.
