BASIC OPERATION
The Monitor is an LCD multi-function display gauge. A variety of
displays can be activated using the
button.
Pressing the
tachometer (RPM), fuel flow, power trim position, engine temp,
water pressure, battery voltage, range (if calibrated), and water
depth (if equipped with transducer).
The Monitor will power up when the ignition is turned on.
The display includes a backlight which allows you to read it at night.
The backlight brightness is adjustable using

Initial Power Up (Or After Master Reset)
Unit will display software level then flash the word “SEt” in
conjunction with engine icon, indicating it is ready to start the
auto–detect procedure.
Press the button.
AUTO-DETECTION
The unit will begin it’s “Auto-detection” of engine type procedure. In
this procedure the Monitor checks with the engine control module
(ECM) to see what type of engine you have and presets the data
monitoring screens accordingly, (e.g., If Monitor detects an inboard
engine connected to the data network it will turn off all engine/drive
TRIM functions as these functions are not used in an inboard engine
installation). The intention is to make initial setup easier. It also checks
for other Monitors to allow for appropriate engine location and station
location setting. When setting up monitors for multi–engine or
multi–station installations, perform a power up or a master reset on all
monitors before performing the auto–detect function. Once all of the
monitors display ”SEt” then, perform auto–detect on the monitors.

BASIC OPERATION
Initial Power Up (Or After Master Reset)
INITIAL AUTO-DETECTION ERROR MESSAGES:
Flashing “Stbd” – More than one of
the engine computers (ECMs) are
configured as a starboard engine.
The engines must be programmed
for proper engine location using a
DDT or Quicksilver Diagnostic Tool.
Flashing “nonE” – The gauge does
not see any engine computers
(ECMs). Please check wiring for bad
connections and for proper amount
of terminator resistors.
Flashing “noSt” – None of the
engine computers (ECMs) are
configured as a starboard engine.
Engines may not be compatible or
must be programmed for proper
engine location by using a DDT or
Quicksilver Diagnostic Tool.
Flashing “2001” – You will need to
manually select your engine type.
Use the button to scroll
through the choices. Stnd = Stern
Drive, Inbd = Inboard, JEtd = Jet
Drive, Out2 = Outboard 2 Stroke,
Out4 = Outboard 4 Stroke.
Press to continue.

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.
1. Hold in

WARNING SYSTEM
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.
If problem can cause immediate engine damage, the Engine Guardian
System will respond to the problem by limiting engine power. Immediately reduce throttle speed to idle. Refer to the Engine Operation,
Maintenance and Warranty Manual for further explanation of the
problem and the correct action to take.
If the mode button is pressed to a different screen, the flashing alarm
signal will remain flashing to indicate there still is a problem.

Fuel Tank Calibration
THERE ARE THREE METHODS TO SET UP THE 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 default procedure, which
is done without actually adding fuel to the tank. The Monitor will supply an estimated range value based on default sensor values. This
mode does not factor in irregular tank shapes.
Third: By following the tank calibration procedure completely, which
includes adding fuel at certain calibration points. Monitor will display
an estimated range value that factors in the tank shape.
