Power up: Each gauge will power up when the ignition is turned on.
Gauges will stay on as long as the ignition is on.

Lights: The brightness and contrast are adjustable.

MODE

Buttons: The

button is used for selecting information screens.

The “+” and “–” buttons are used for setting engine speed during troll
control and setting gauge calibrations.

Troll Control: Allows the operator to set and control the idle speed
of the engine for trolling without using the throttle.

Engine Guardian System: Monitors the critical sensors on the engine
for any early indications of problems. The system will respond to a
problem by reducing engine speed in order to maintain a safe operat­ing condition.

Warning System: The system will sound the warning horn and display
the warning message.

AUTO-DETECTION ENGINE FUNCTION

On first time power up of gauge or after a “Master Reset”, gauge will
display “Auto detect”. Upon pressing the mode button, gauge will au­tomatically determine engine type. This will preset the data monitoring
screens accordingly. The intention is to make initial setup easier.

If the gauge shows a warning of “No Starboard Engine” or “Multiple
Starboard Engines”, engine location must be properly selected (Port
and Stbd) at the engine using a Mercury engine diagnostic tool. “Mas­ter Reset” and “Auto detect” again. (Refer to “Master Reset”).

System tach and speed come standard with an “Engine Auto–
detection Screen” this screen lets the gauge on its initial power up
automatically detect which engine type you are using and configure
the gauge to match that vessel type.

5

MASTER RESET

You can return the gauge back to factory presets through the Master
Reset command.

IMPORTANT: Performing a master reset will reset the unit back
to all factory defaults, thus eliminating any installation calibra­tions performed during set up of product.

Basic Operation

NOTE:Troll control may not be available on all engine models.

NOTE:Troll control min/max range may change depending on en-

gine type.

You can set the troll control by using either the tachometer or
speedometer. Tachometer will set the speed in RPM and speedom­eter will set the speed in MPH, Kph or KN.

You can shut off troll control anytime by pushing the

MODE

button

when in the troll display screen or by moving the throttle.

If you have troll control set at a desired speed and then you shut off
the troll control, the system remembers the set speed and will return
to that speed when re-engaged.

The display screen will revert back to the previous screen after 10 sec­onds of no activity. Push the

on the following pages. Refer to the Engine Operation, Maintenance
and Warranty Manual for further explanation of the problem and the
correct action to take.

The alarm message will stay displayed until the mode button is
pressed. If there are multiple alarms, these will cycle on the display at

does not see the starboard engine computer. Usually indicates
that no data is being transferred from the engine’s computer to the
gauge. (Check wiring, also make sure both terminator resistors are
installed in the bus). Make sure both ECMs are not configured for
port location using a DDT or Quicksilver Diagnostic Tool.

15. MULTIPLE STARBOARD ENGINE – SmartCraft Gauges are
recognizing multiple engines as starboard.

In multiple engine applications, each engine must first be assigned a
position (starboard, port, starboard2 or port2) with a Quicksilver Diag­nostic Tool before the system will function properly.

If you have a dual engine application, you must first program the port
engine with a Quicksilver Diagnostic Tool.

There are three methods for calibrating fuel tank level
monitoring feature:

First: Do nothing. Linear readout based on raw sensor values. This

mode does not factor in irregular tank shapes.

Second: By following the tank calibration procedure described on
next page, but without actually adding fuel. System Tach will supply
an estimated range value based on linear interpolation of the sensor
range values. This mode does not factor in irregular tank shapes.

Third: By following the tank calibration procedure described on next
page completely, which means adding fuel at each calibration point.
System Tach will display an estimated range value that factors in the
tank shape.
