Power up: Each gauge will power up when the ignition is turned

on. The gauges will stay on as long as the ignition is on.

Lights: Adjusts the brightness and contrast of the gauge.

Buttons: The "MODE/SELECT" button is used for selecting

information screens. The "+" and "-" buttons are used for setting engine speed during troll, cruise control, and setting gauge calibrations.

Troll Control: Sets and controls the idle speed of the engine for trolling without using the throttle. (System Tachometer and Speedometer).

Cruise Control: Sets and controls the speed of the engine for cruising. (Smart Tow Tachometer only).

Launch Control: Sets and controls the speed of acceleration from idle to set cruise speed. (Smart Tow Tachometer only).

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 and alert the operator to a potentially damaging situation.

Warning System: The system sounds the warning horn and displays the warning message.

Master Reset

Returns the gauge to the factory defaults through the Master Reset command.

BASIC OPERATION AND FEATURES

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

Press the "-" and "+" buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds (until the graphic bars collide) to restore the unit to factory default settings. Press the "MODE/SELECT" button to confirm.

Auto Detection Engine Function

The System Tachometer/Speedometer and Smart Tow Tachometer come standard with an Engine Auto-detection feature. This feature lets the gauge, on the initial power up, automatically detect which engine type is used and configure the gauge to match that engine type.

On first time power up of the gauge or after a Master Reset, the gauge will display "AUTODETECT". Upon pressing the "MODE/ SELECT" button, the gauge will automatically determine engine type. This will preset the data monitoring screens accordingly. The intention is to make initial setup easier. Press the "MODE/ SELECT" button to start the Auto Detection Engine function.

If the gauge shows a warning of "NO STARBOARD ENGINE" or "MULTIPLE STARBOARD ENGINES", the engine location must be properly selected (Port and Starboard) at the engine using a Mercury Computer Diagnostic System tool (CDS). Perform the Master Reset and Auto Detect functions again. (Refer to Master Reset).

When a problem is detected, the name of the offending alarm appears on the display.

If problem can cause immediate engine damage, the Engine Guardian System will respond to the problem by limiting engine power. Immediately reduce the throttle speed and refer to the warning messages 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 five-second intervals.

If the "MODE" button is pressed to display a different screen, the flashing alarm signal "AL" will appear in the upper right corner to indicate there still is a problem.

WARNING SYSTEM

Warning Display Screens

When a problem is detected with the engine, the warning display screens will alert the operator to the potential problem. Refer to the Engine Operation, Maintenance, and Warranty Manual for explanation of the problem and the correct action to take.

IMPORTANT: Refer to the Engine Operation, Maintenance, and Warranty Manual for further explanation of the problem and the correct action to take. Contact your dealer if the problem persists.

1. OVERHEAT: The engine has overheated.

2. PRESSURE: There is insufficient water pressure in the cooling system.

3. OVERSPEED: Engine speed exceeded the maximum allowable RPM.

4. WATER IN FUEL: Water in the water separating fuel filter reached the full level.

5. FAULT - HORN: The warning horn is not functioning correctly.

6. RESERVE OIL LOW - 2-STROKE OUTBOARD ONLY: Oil level is critically low in the engine mounted oil reservoir tank.

7. FAULT - OIL PUMP: The oil pump has stopped functioning electrically. No lubricating oil is being supplied to the engine.

8. FAULT - INJECTOR: One or more of the fuel injectors have stopped functioning electronically.

9. FAULT - IGNITION: A problem has developed in the ignition system.

10.BATTERY: The electrical system is not charging or the battery charge is low.

11.ENGINE DATA BUS: The data communication link between the tachometer and engine is not connected.

12.FAULT - SENSOR: One of the sensors is not functioning correctly.

13.FAULT - WATER TEMP: The sensor for measuring outside lake/sea water temperature is not functioning correctly.

14.NO STARBOARD ENGINE: The instrument does not detect the starboard engine computer. This usually indicates that no data is being transferred from the engine's computer to the gauge. Check the wiring. Make sure both terminator resistors are installed in the bus. Make sure both ECMs are not configured for the port location using a DDT or Quicksilver Diagnostic Tool.

15.MULTIPLE STARBOARD ENGINE: SmartCraft gauges are recognizing multiple engines as starboard.

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

16.OIL TEMPERATURE: The engine oil is overheating.
