It is the owner’s sole responsibility to install and use the instrument and its sensor(s) in a manner

that will not cause accidents, personal injury or property damage. The user of this product is solely

responsible for observing safe boating practices.

Fuel type: Navman petrol flow sensors (plastic) and FUEL 3100 instruments have been specifically

developed for use in marine applications with petrol (gasoline) inboard and outboard engines and

are not warranted for any other type of application. These sensors and instruments must NOT be

used with petrol EFI engines with a return line to the tank or with diesel engines.

Navman diesel flow sensors (metal) and DIESEL 3200 instruments have been specifically developed

for use in marine applications with diesel engines and are not warranted for any other type of

application. These sensors and instruments must NOT be used with petrol (gasoline) engines.

Fuel formulation: Every effort has been made by the manufacturer to ensure that the materials

used in the Navman fuel flow sensor(s) will operate reliably with different fuel mixtures. The

manufacturer or its distributors can not be held responsible for fuel formulation or any affect this

may have on the performance and durability of the fuel flow sensor(s).

Back pressure: A fuel flow sensor will create additional back pressure in a fuel system:

• In a petrol system (FUEL 3100): 1/2" of mercury at 19.8 US gallons /hour (75 litres/ hour) and 1"

of mercury at 39.5 US gallons per hour (150 litres/ hour).

• In a diesel system (DIESEL 3200): 0.3" of mercury at 25 US gallons /hour (100 litres/ hour) and

1.5" of mercury at 80 US gallons per hour (300 litres/hour).

It is the owners responsibility to ensure that fitting the fuel flow sensor(s) does not cause fuel

starvation which may lead to poor engine performance.

Fuel Computer: Fuel economy can alter drastically depending on the boat loading and sea

conditions. The fuel computer should not be the sole source of information concerning available

fuel onboard and the electronic information should be supplemented by visual or other

checks of the fuel load. This is necessary due to possible operator induced errors such as forgetting

to reset the fuel used when filling the tank, running the engine with the fuel computer not

switched on or other operator controlled actions that may render the device inaccurate. Always

ensure that adequate fuel is carried onboard for the intended trip plus a reserve to allow for

unforeseen circumstances.

Specific requirements: Your boat’s fuel installation boat might be subject to specific requirements

(such as USCG, NMMA and ABYC guidelines or local laws), particularly if the boat is licensed,

surveyed, charted or inspected. It is the owner’s sole responsibility to install and use the instrument

and its sensor(s) in compliance with these requirements.

FUEL 3100 / DIESEL 3200 Installation and Ope ration Manual

NAVMA N

This manual describ es two different Navman

marine fuel instruments:

• The FUEL 3100, which is installed with the

separate petrol/ gasoline flow sensor kit,

and measures petrol consumption.

• The DIESEL 3200, which is installed with

the separate diesel flow sensor kit, and

measures diesel consumption.

This manual describ es how to install, set up and

operate the instruments. For more information,

refer to the separate Flo w Sensor Installation

Manual (for the FUEL 3100 and petrol systems)

and Diesel Fl ow Sensor Installation a nd

Operatio n Manual (for the DIESEL 3200 and

diesel systems); this manual has extensive

information on understanding and optimising

your diesel boat’s performance.

The FUEL 3100 or DIESEL 3200 measures and

displays the fuel flow in real time for a single or

twin engine boat. It can calculate and display

the amount of fuel used, the amount of fuel

remaining and the fuel flow rate.

If an optional speed sensor or speed

instrument is connected, the unit can also

1 Introduction

show the fuel economy, boat speed and the

trip log and total logs.

Knowing the fuel economy can help determine

the optimum throttle settings and maximize

fuel savings. With twin engine boats,

comparison between the flow rates of each

engine can be used to achieve maximum

synchronisation.

It is essential to update the fuel readings in

the FUEL 3100 or DIESEL 3200 after a partial or

full refill, or af ter manually removing fuel, to

maintain accurate readings (see section 5).

The FUEL 3100 and DIESEL 3200 are par t of

the Navman family of instruments for boats,

which includes instruments for speed, depth,

wind and repeaters. These instruments can be

connected together, using NavBus or NMEA , to

form an integrated data system for a boat.

Information in this manual applies to both the

FUEL 3100 and the DIESEL 3200 unless noted. It

is vital to read this document and the Navman

instrument’s installation and operation manual

before installing or using this kit.

Petrol flow sensor (FUEL 3100): The petrol

flow sensor is fitted in the fuel line between the

fuel tank and the engine. A small turbine inside

the fuel f low sensor measures the rate of the

fuel flow into the engine. This information is

relayed through the fuel flow sensor cable and

shown electronically on the display unit.

Diesel flow sensor (DIESEL 3200): A diesel

sensor is a positive displacement flowmeter,

with one moving internal part, made of low

friction, fuel proof plastic. There are no fine

pointed shafts and jewelled bearings to get

worn or hammered by diesel pulsing.

Each engine is fit ted with two fuel flow

sensors, to measure fuel supply and return.The

system calculates the engine consumption,

compensating for pulsing from diaphragm

lift pumps, dif ferent fuel temperatures in

the supply and return lines and the flow

characteristic s of the sensors.

Clean the display unit and any plastic sensor

with a damp cloth or mild detergent. Avoid

abrasive cleaners, petrol or other solvents.

3-4 Fuel calibration (CAL.F)

To calibrate a fuel ﬂow sensor, select CAL.F in

the FUEL menu. Calibrate the sensors if you are

doubtful of their performance.

FUEL 3100: It is essential to calibrate the fuel

ﬂow sensors af ter installation and again af ter

the ﬁrst 100 engine hours to allow moving parts

to wear in.

DIESEL 3200: The sensors are factory calibrated

and are highly accurate. They can be calibrated

but this should not be necessary.

Calibrating a fuel ﬂow sensor requires accurate

measurement of the fuel consumption. This is

best done using a small portable tank. At least 4

gallons (15 litres) of fuel should be used to ensure

an accurate calibration. The more fuel used, the

more accurate the calibration.

Twin engine boats require both engines to

be calibrated. Do these together with t wo

portable tanks, or at diﬀerent times using one

portable tank.

To calibrate an engine’s fuel ﬂow sensor:

1 Connect the portable tank to the

engine through the fuel ﬂow sensor.

2 Reset USED:

i Press one or more times

until USED is displayed.

ii If your boat has twin tanks,

press ENT one or more times

to display PORT or STBD.

iii Hold ENT and together until

the reading resets to zero.

3 Run the engine at normal cruising

speed until a known amount of

fuel, at least 15 litres (4 gallons),

has been used per engine.

4 Select the FUEL setup menu, then

select CAL.F; if your boat has twin

engines, select the PORT or STBD engine

to be calibrated (see section 3-1).

5 If the value of CAL.F does not match

the known amount of fuel used, press

ENT, then press or and change

CAL.F until it does match. Then press

ENT to save the correct value (otherwise

press ESC to ignore the calibration).

3-5 Fuel flow damping (dAmP.F)

Waves and rocking of the boat cause the fuel

ﬂow to ﬂuctuate slightly. To give a stable reading,

the instrument calculates ﬂow by taking several

measureme nts over a period of time and

averaging them. This is called damping.

Set d Am P.F to between 1 to 99 seconds. Small

values will give more accurate readings but

will show ﬂuctuations. Large values will give

more stable readings, but will ignore some

true ﬂuctuations.

3-6 Speed input (InPUt)

Select the optional speed input:

No : No speed input is available.

GPS: Use GPS speed received via

NMEA. This is speed over ground.

SEn : The optional paddlewheel

sensor connected directly to the

unit, or through the Navbus system.

This is speed through water.

Note:

A speed input is required to disp lay L OG ,

TO TA L LOG, RA N G E and SPE ED (see

section 2-5).

Speed over ground and speed through water

can give diﬀerent values for some displayed data

(see appendix C).

3-7 Speed damping (dAmP.S)

(Only available if an optional paddlewheel sensor

is connected to the unit and InPUt = SEn .)

Waves and rocking of the boat cause the speed

to ﬂuctuate slightly. To give a stable reading,

the instrument calculates speed by taking

several measurements over a period of time and

averaging them. This is called damping.

Set d Am P.S to 1 (6 sec), 2 (12 sec), 3 (18 sec), 4

(24 sec) or 5 (30 sec). Small values will give more

accurate readings but will show ﬂuctuations.

Large values will give more stable readings, but

will ignore some true ﬂuctuations.

1 Press until LOG is displayed in the lower

part of the screen. Press ENT + to reset

LOG to 0.

2 Travel a known distance in a straight line

at a speed between 5 and 20 knots. Best

results are achieved in calm conditions

and with minimal current (best at high or

low tide). Tidal ef fects can be reduced by

making the trip once in each direc tion,

parallel to the current, to average the

distance.

3 Select the SPEED setup menu, then select

CAL.L, the distance travelled.

4 If the value of CAL.L does not match the

known distance, press ENT then or

and change the value until it does match.

Then press ENT to save the correct value

(otherwise press ESC to exit).

3-9 Speed calibration by boat speed

(CAL.S )

(Only available if an optional paddlewheel

sensor is connecte d to the unit and InPUt

= SEn.) Select CA L.S to calibrate the

paddlewheel speed sensor using boat speed.

You need an accurate way of knowing boat

speed, such as another boat with a calibrated

paddlewheel sensor or a GPS receiver.

For accurate calibration:

• The spee d from another paddlewheel

sensor should be between 5 and 20 knots.

• Conditions should be calm, with little

current (best at high or low tide).

To calibrate:

1 Travel at a constant, known speed.

2 Select the SPEED setup menu, then select

CAL.S, the boat speed.

3 If the value of CAL.S does not match the

known boat speed, press ENT then or

and change the value until it does match.

Then press ENT to save the correct value

(otherwise press ESC to exit).

Note:

After you press ENT, it does not matter if the

boat’s speed changes.

4 Installation

There are three options for the FUEL 3100 and

the DIESEL 3200.

A FUEL 3100 uses one sensor to measure fuel

consumption. The DIESEL 3200 uses t wo

sensors to measure fuel consumption, a sensor

in the supply line and a sensor in the return line

(see sec tion 1-1).

To configure the unit for different tank and

engine options, set dUAL and m otor in the

FUEL menu and for twin motors identif y each

engine in the dSL SEn menu by alternately

removing p ower from the flow sensors as

described

in this sec tion.

Note:

Twin fuel tanks connected by an open balance

pipe should be configured as a single fuel tank.

4-1 Tank and engine options

Correct installation is critical to the performance

of the unit. It is vital to read the entire

installation section of this manual, and the

documentation that comes with any optional

other parts, before starting the installation.

For more information, refer to the installation

instruc tions supplied with the sensor, or

consult your Navman dealer.

Notes for both FUEL 3100 and DIESEL 3200:

Use a Navman junction box or any simple wire

to wire connector system to wire the power/data

cable. Tape or cover any unused wires or

connectors to protect them from water and keep

them from shorting together. The unit requires

between 9 and 30 V DC power. To allow the

engine hours counter to function properly the

unit should be powered only when the engine’s

igniton switch is turned on. With twin engines

the unit ideally needs to work when either one

or both engines are running. If acceptable power

is available wire the unit through each ignition

system seperately using an On/On switch.

Alternatively wire it through a seperate switch to

the vessels 12 V power supply. The units must

not be powered from both ignition systems

simultaneously.

If a Navman connector box is not used a 1 A fuse

must be fitted in the power supply (+ ) line.

The instrument’s alarm output is switched to

ground to sound the alarm, 30 V DC and 250 mA

maximum. If the external alarms require more

than 250 mA DC total, fit a relay.

However, changing the backlight setting in

an instrument in group 0 will not af fect any

other instrument.

To assign the FUEL 3100 or DIESEL 3200 to

a group, set GrouP in the LAmP menu

(see sec tion 3-3).

• If an alarm sounds, mute it by clearing the

alarm on any instrument which can display

that alarm.

• NavBus junction boxes simplify wiring.

For more information, refer to the NavBus

Installatio n and Operation Manu al.

NMEA

NMEA is an industry standard for marine

instrument connec tions. The FUEL 3100 and

DIESEL 3200 :

• Can read speed data (RMC) from a

compatible NMEA GPS instrument (see

section 3-6)

• Transmit PTTKV, VHW, XDR, VLW .

Several Navman instruments can be connected

together to share data, either by using NavBus

or NMEA.

NavBus

NavBus is a Navman proprietary system that is

high speed and allows a wide range of data to

be shared by the instruments.

When instruments are connec ted by NavBus:

• Data from a sensor connected to one

instrument is available to all instrument s.

• If the units, alarms or calibration are

changed in one instrument, then the values

will automatically change in all instruments

of the same t ype.

• Each instrument can be assigned to a group

of instruments by setting a group number

between 0 and 4. Then, if the back light

is changed in an instrument in groups 1,

2, 3 or 4, it will automatically change in

all the other instruments in that group.

To check out the installation:

1 Power on the boat and any other

instruments. Check the instruments work

properly.

2 Enter the setup data (see section 3).

Set d UAL, motor , and InPUt first, then

enter the rest of the setup data.

For boats with t win tanks or twin engines,

remember to enter port and starboard data

separately where required.

3 Fill the fuel tank (s) and set the fuel in the

tank(s) in the FUEL 3100 or DIESEL 3200 (see

section 5).

4 On boats with twin engines, check the

installation of the port and starboard fuel

sensors:

• DIESEL 3200: Star t the port engine. Check

the LED lights under the sensors are

blinking. This indicates the sensors are

operating correc tly. Confirm the fuel flow is

being displayed as port engine fuel usage

on the instrument. (If it is being displayed

as starboard engine fuel usage, swap

over the fuel flow sensor connectors on

the ‘T’ connector.) Repeat the check with

starboard engine.

• FUEL 3100: Star t the port engine. Confirm

the fuel f low is being displayed as port

engine fuel usage on the instrument. If it is

being displayed as starboard engine fuel

usage, reconfigure the set tings (see section

3-3).

5 FUEL 3100 only: Calibrate the fuel sensor(s)

(see sec tion 3-4).

6 If a paddlewheel speed sensor is

connected, calibrate it (see sections 3-8

and 3-9).

7 Take the boat for a trial run and check the

unit is displaying the correct data.

FUEL 3100: Recalibrate the FUEL 3100’s fuel

sensor(s) after the first 100 engine hours (see

section 3-4).

When you add or remove fuel from a tank, you

must enter into the FUEL 3100 or DIESEL 3200

how much fuel you have added or removed.

Otherwise REMAINING, RA NGE and the low

fuel alarm will be meaningless. Twin tanks

connected by an open balance pipe should be

trated as a single fuel tank.

When you add or remove fuel from a tank:

a When you fill a tank

1 Fill the tank.

2 Press until REMAINING is displayed.

3 If the boat has twin tanks, press ENT until

the display shows the name of the tank you

have filled, PORT or STBD.

4 Press and together.

5 If the boat has twin tanks and you are filling

the other tank as well, repeat the ab ove

steps.

Note:

It is often very difficult to refill underfloor

fuel tanks to the same level twice, due to air

pockets. Because of this, owners of boats with

underfloor fuel tanks should:

• Ensure the boat is trimmed to sit at

the same angle in the water each time

procedure a above is followed.

• Mostly use procedure b below when filling

the tank, but use procedure a above about

every tenth fill.

b When you fill or part fill a tank

1 Before adding or removing fuel, press ESC

and ENT together, then press until the

FUEL setup menu is displayed.

2 Press ENT, then press or until the

FUEL data is displayed.

6 Troubleshooting

This troubleshooting guide assumes that this

manual has been read and understood.

It is possible in many cases to solve difficulties

without having to send the unit back to the

manufac turer for repair. Please follow this

troubleshooting section before contacting the

nearest Navman dealer.

There are no user ser viceable parts. Specialized

methods and testing equipment are required

to ensure that the unit is reassembled correctly

and is waterproof. Repairs to the unit must only

be carried out by a ser vice centre approved by

Navman NZ Limited. Users who ser vice the unit

themselves will void the warranty.

More information can be found on our website:

www.navman.com

1 Instrument will not turn on:

a Power/data cable is damaged or

disconnected. Perform a visual check.

b Fuse is blown or circuit breaker has tripped.

Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.

c Battery voltage is outside the range 9 to

30 V DC. Check the battery voltage using a

multimeter.

2 The word SIM flashes at bot tom left

corner o f screen, values displayed are

unexpected :

a The instrument is in simulation mode (see

section 2-9).

3 Fuel read ing is wrong or erratic:

a Check for leak s in the fuel line or in the fuel

pickup in the tank.

b Fuel sensor cable is unplugged or damaged.

Perform a visual check. DIESEL 3200: check

the LED light on the underneath of flow

sensor blinks when the engine draws fuel.

c The fuel R EMA INING reading is incorrect.

The fuel tank capacity (SIZE) may be

incorrect, or the fuel RE MAINING setting

may not have been updated after a refill.

See section 5.

d Sensors require calibration (see sec tion 3-4;

diesel sensors do not normally need to be

calibrated).

e The fuel flow sensor may have been

mounted too close to the fuel pump, or

may be subject to excessive vibration. Refer

to the installation instructions supplied

with the fuel sensor.

f The fuel f low sensor damping (dA mP.F)

value is not suitable for the engine. Check

that the value is not set to zero and then try

increasing the value until a steady flow rate

is shown (see section 3-5)

4 Speed reading is wrong or erratic:

a Speed readings require the optional speed

sensor to be installed and setup (see

section 3-6).

3 If the boat has twin tanks, press ENT. Then

press until the display shows the name of

the tank to be filled, PORT or STBD.

4 Write down the number displayed, FUEL,

which is the amount of fuel now in the tank.

5 Add fuel to the tank , writing down how

much you add.

6 Add together the two figures you have

written down, to calculate the amount of

fuel now in the tank. Press ENT. Then press

or hold to change FU EL to the amount

of fuel now in the tank.

7 Press ENT, then press ESC to return to the

main display.

8 If the boat has twin tanks and you are

adding fuel to the other tank as well, repeat

the above steps.

Note:

If you follow procedure b above ever y time you

add fuel, then a small error will accumulate,

because it is hard to measure exac tly how

much fuel you add. To avoid this, about every

ten tankfulls of fuel, fill the tank and follow

procedure a.

c When you remove fuel from a tank

Repeat the steps for procedure b above, but:

i This time subtract the fuel you have

removed from the original amount of fuel

in the tank to calculate the amount of fuel

now in the tank.

ii Press or hold to change FUEL to the

amount of fuel now in the tank.

FUEL 3100 / DIESEL 3200 Installation and Ope ration Manual

c Speed calibration is incorrect (see sections

3-8 and 3-9).

d Interference from electrical noise may be

affec ting the measurements. Review the

installation.

5 Low Fuel Alarm sounds when fuel not

low:

a The fuel REMAINING reading is incorrec t.

The fuel tank capacity (SIZE) may be

incorrect, or the fuel RE MAINING setting

may not have been updated after a refill.

See sections 2-6. and 5.

6 The display unit fogs:

a Moist air has entered the breathing tube at

the rear of the unit. Air the boat or run the

instrument with backlight fully on.

b Water has entered the breathing tube.

Return the instrument for ser vicing.

7. Flow indicates no fuel or low fuel

a FUEL 3100 : Check that the fuel cable

connectors are securely plugged in and

the collar is locked in place. The collar must

be locked in place to give a watertight

connection.

b A fuel sensor may be clogged. If so, remove

the sensor from the fuel line and gently

blow through it in the opposite direction to

the fuel f low. A fuel filter between the fuel

sensor and the fuel tank must be installed

as per the fuel installation guide. Failure to

do so will void the warranty.

c Inspect the fuel cable from end to end for

damage such as cuts, breaks, squashed or

trapped sections.

d Check that the fuel filter is clean.

8 Fuel used or remaining seem inaccurate:

a In rough seas, fuel may surge back and

forth through the fuel sensor, resulting in

incorrect readings. Try installing a one-way

valve bet ween the fuel sensor and the fuel

tank.

b The amount of fuel must b e reset after

every refuelling (see sec tion 5 ).

c The fuel tank may not ref ill to the same

capacit y each time due to air pockets. This

is particularly noticable with underfloor

tanks (see section 5).

d Petrol fuel sensors wear out over time and

should be replaced after every 500 0 litres

of fuel.

9 A twin engine installation shows only

one flow rate:

a Check that the number of engines is set to 2

(motor in the FUEL menu, see sec tion 3).

10 There is no reading for fuel economy:

a The boat must be travelling through the

water to generate an economy reading.

b If an optional paddlewheel sensor is fitted,

check that the paddlewheel spins freely.
