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.

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.
