Faria Pilot I Description
The Faria Pilot I system is a multifunctional instrument designed to give
two simultaneous readouts of several different and independent functions
on an upper and lower LCD display. A digital Bar Graph provides
continuous display of the battery system voltage. The illustration above
shows the various functions provided by the instrument.
Wa rning: The Depth Sounder is not to be used for navigation or as a
device to avoid grounding which may result in boat damage or personal
injury. Always use caution operating in shallow areas and maintain a
very slow speed. Be aware that depth may change to quickly for you to
avoid grounding.

Installation:
CAUTION: Disconnect the battery during
installation. Tighten nuts on the
backclamp only slightly more than you
can tighten with your fingers. Six inch-
pounds of torque are sufficient. Overtightening could result in damage to the
instrument and may void your warranty.
1. Cut a 3-3/8” diameter hole in the dash
and mount the gauge with the backclamp
supplied.
Follow the enclosed Airmar Technology
Corporation instructions for installing the
multifunction Triducer. Once the Triducer
is installed and you have lead the cables to
the Pilot, connect the wires from the
Triducer to the corresponding 4 or 6-pin
connectors as illustrated using the butt
connectors supplied. The butt connectors
have a heat activated waterproofing. Once
the butt connections have been crimped
slowly apply heat with a heat gun until
you see sealant coming out of the
connector ends. It is recommended to
wrap the connections together with
electrical tape for further protection.

2. Follow the wiring diagram at the end of
this manual for wiring connections. For
connections for a Yamaha motor use the
connections on HN0362.
For all other engine configurations use the
Others connections on HN0365.
