IMPORTANT: MercMonitor can be assimilated into many different power
package configurations; from a single engine low horsepower outboard motor,
to a multiengine multistation digital throttle and shift vessel. There may be
some gauge features, displays, operations, and warnings that will not be
applicable for your power package. Some screens can be turned on, but will
not show any changes to the display. See your selling dealer for an explanation
of what information your power package can display.
Power up: After the ignition is turned on, the splash screen will display the
name of the gauge, the level of the gauge, the image, and the version of the
software for approximately two seconds.
NOTE: The contents of the splash screen will change based on the level of
gauge purchased.
Example of a level 3 gauge
a - Name of gauge
b - Level of gauge
c - Image
d - Version of software
Lights: Adjusts the brightness and contrast of the gauge.
Buttons: The "MODE" button is used for selecting information screens. The "+"
and "–" buttons are used for setting engine speed for cruise control, launch
control, and setting gauge calibrations. To return to the previous screen, hold
the "MODE" button down for three to five seconds.
Cruise control: Sets and controls the speed of the engine for cruising.
Launch control: Controls the speed of acceleration from idle to cruise speed.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Engine Guardian System: Monitors the critical sensors on the engine for any
early indication of problems. The system will respond to a problem by reducing
engine speed and alerting the operator to a potentially damaging situation.
Warning system: The system sounds the warning horn and displays the
warning "AL" in the right corner of the "Main Menu" screen. The alarm screen
will pop up with the "AL" in the upper right side of the screen and an alarm
information in the middle of the screen. For alarms with descriptive text, press
the "+" button for more information.
IMPORTANT: Optional sensors such as depth, fuel, paddle wheel, and steering
angle, should always be connected to the starboard engine when using
SmartCraft gauges version 4.0 or later.
SYSTEM CHECK
•The system check screen will appear after the splash screen. This option
must be enabled to view it. Depending on the installed power package,
the system check screen will display the overall condition of the battery
and a few other sensor conditions that are important for that power
package. The component description will be displayed on the left side of
the monitor, its corresponding icon will be off‑center right, an icon in
motion to the right will indicate what is being checked. When the
component checks good, the icon in motion will change to "OK." If the
system check identifies a problem, the icon in motion will change to a
warning icon. You can bypass the system check by pressing the "MODE"
button to skip the check.

PRODUCTS WITH EMISSIONS CONTROL
After the ignition is turned on, the splash screen will display the name of the
gauge, the level of the gauge, and the version of the software for approximately
two seconds. In the upper left‑hand corner of the display, a small engine icon
will also be visible. The icon is an indicator that the power package has
emissions control onboard diagnostics, also known as OBD. The icon will only
be seen during the key up process unless a system fault is detected. When an
OBD fault is detected, the OBD icon will be displayed in the upper left‑hand

MercMonitor Gateway Models Description
There are four MercMonitor Gateway gauge models available. All versions of
the MercMonitor will display only one engine. All versions are capable of
transmitting the engine data via NMEA 2000 (N2K); however, a Data Level 3
version will transmit up to four engines of N2K data.
•MercMonitor Base Model (Data Level 1) with eight NMEA 2000 gateway
in/out features
•MercMonitor RPM Smart Tow (Data Level 2) with 19 NMEA 2000
gateway in/out features
•MercMonitor Premier Kit (Data Level 3) with 23 NMEA 2000 gateway
in/out features
•MercMonitor Smart Tow Pro Kit (Data Level 3) with 23 NMEA 2000
gateway in/out features includes a GPS puck in the kit for accurate speed
based Smart Tow function
NOTE: Each of the above models incorporates the use of NMEA 2000 and
J1939 software interface that allows or controls access to other manufacturers
programs if available. Be sure to check with the manufacture for detailed
information on the features they offer.

Gateway is a software interface that allows or controls access to other
programs through a NMEA 2000 or J1939 protocol; a backbone for
communication to share information. The software is capable of transmitting
(TX) information to, and receiving (RX) information from various parameter
group number (PGN) products.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Gateway Modes
Transmit (TX)Receive (RX)
Transmits engine data to NMEA 2000/J1939

Base and RPM Smart Tow models require one
MercMonitor per engine.
Gateway Premier and Smart Tow Pro models
require only one MercMonitor per vessel to
transmit multiengine data to multifunction
displays (MFD) through the NMEA 2000/J1939
protocol.
The MercMonitor will display one engine only
regardless of the model (base, RPM Smart Tow,
Smart Tow Pro, Gateway Premier).

Connection to a Non‑SmartCraft Network
The use of the MercMonitor on a non‑SmartCraft network application requires
the MercMonitor gateway set to "Receive." Failure to set the gateway to
"Receive" will cause numerous faults to appear that cannot be resolved.
Changing the gateway to "Receive" will clear the faults. The menu path to set
the gateway to "Receive" is: "Main Menu," > "Settings," > "Gateway," >
"Gateway."
Automatic Engine Detection Feature
The SmartCraft monitor has an automatic engine detection feature. This feature
automatically detects which engine type is used and configures the gauge to
match that engine type.

PRESS MODE TO START
GENERAL INFORMATION
The first power up of the gauge, or after a reset all to factory default, the gauge
will display "AUTODETECT." Press the "MODE" button to start the automatic
engine detection feature and the gauge will determine the engine type. This will
preset the data monitoring screens to make the initial setup easier.
If the gauge shows a warning of "NO STARBOARD ENGINE" or "MULTIPLE
STARBOARD ENGINES," the engine location (port and starboard) must be
selected by an authorized dealer equipped with the computer diagnostic
system (CDS) tool.
Alarm Warnings
IMPORTANT: Alarm warnings are only available on the MercMonitor screen.
NMEA 2000/J1939 gateway is limited to seven alarm functions.
NOTE: Descriptive text alarm warning screens are displayed with Gen I (2007)
engines and newer and universal fault codes will be displayed on all 4.5L, 6.2L,
and SeaPro engines.

Identifying and Using the Screen Categories
The monitor displays engine and vessel information through various screens.
These screens can be selected to be favorites which will flash on the screen for
a specific amount of time. The "Settings" menu option allows the screens to be
turned off or on. The "Settings" menu option also allows the calibration of the
monitor to the various different sensors like the fuel, trim, tabs, and steering to
name a few.
•
"Propulsion" contains all screens related to the propulsion system; trim,
engine performance, troll control, and Smart Tow.
•
"Vessel" contains screens related to fuel use, tank levels, tabs, GPS
data, steering position, and other items such as generators.
