1 Introduction

The Navman SmartCraf tTM gateway connec ts
one or two SmartCraft capable Mercury
petrol/gasoline engines to a SmartCraft capable
Navman instrument, such as the FISH 4380, FISH
4600 or TRACKFISH 6600. The single gateway is
for single engines, the dual gateway is for twin
engines.

Adding the gateway extends the functions of the
Navman instrument, allowing the instrument to:

Display engine data, such as speed, RPM,
pressures, tank levels.

Control troll speed and display trim.

Sound an alarm if it detects an abnormal
engine condition.

1-1 SmartCraft d ata available from diffe rent engines

The SmartCraft engine data available in a system depends on the type of engine. SmartCraft is a digital
engine network provided on some later model (2002 +) Mercury and Mariner Engines, both in-board and
out-board.

This manual describes:

How to install a Navman SmartCraft gateway.

How to use the Smar tCraft functions of a
Navman SmartCraft capable instrument.
Refer to the separate Navman instrument
Installatio n and Operation Manu al for
information on how to install and use the
instrument.

The engine data available in a system depends
on the type of engine used (see section 1-1). The
gateway replaces any fuel flow sensors that might
be plugged into the Navman
instrument .

It is vital to read this document and the
associated SmartCraft and Navman installation
and operation manuals before installing or using
the system.

1-1-1 Tanks and sensors

Engines can have optional level sensors fit ted:

A two-stroke engine can have one sensor
fitted to its oil tank, and one additional sensor
fitted to a fuel, oil, water or waste tank.

A four stroke engine can have one or two
sensors fitted to its fuel, water or waste tanks.

Built-in cable to the Navman
instrument, 1 m (3.3 ft) long

Built-in cable to the SmartCraft system, 300
mm (1 ft.) long

If level sensors are fitted: the tank levels can be
displayed; there are alarms for low tank levels;
the tanks must be set up and calibrated (see

• Warranty card;

• This manual.

Power/fuel splitter cable

A power/fuel splitter cable (‘Y’ cable) is required
for Navman instruments that do not have a
separate fuel sensor connector (such as the FISH
4380, see section 2-2). This cable is included in
hardware pack ages AA005022 and AA005023
and is also available separately from your Navman
dealer.

WARNING

A system in a boat comprises:

a. One or two SmartCraft capable petrol/

gasoline engines; the data available depends
on engine type and the sensors fit ted (see
section 1-1).

b. A single or dual engine gateway.

c. A SmartCraft capable Navman instrument,

such as the FISH 4380, FISH 4600 or
TRACKFISH 660 0.

d. Other optional Navman instruments and

SmartCraft displays. See Appendix-C

2-1 Connecting the gateway to the SmartCraft system

Using a Nav man cable adapt or: Use a Navman cable adaptor in a single engine system which does
not have optional SmartCraft displays. However, a SmartCraft junction box should be used if future
expansion of the SmartCraft system is planned.

Correct installation is critical to the
performance of the unit. Before starting
installation, it is vital to read this manual and
the documentation that comes with the
other parts. Then plan the installation and
select where the equipment and cables will
be located.

Ensure that any holes that you cut will not
weaken the boat ’s structure. If in doubt,
consult a qualified boat builder.

There must be two SmartCraft Terminators in any SmartCraft Installation. The Mercur y harness
84-879982T-x has two terminators built-in; the Mercury harness 84-879981T-x has one terminator
built-in.Terminators must be positioned at the fur thermost ends of the Smar tCraf t network.

Refer to a Mercur y SmartCraft manual, such as Wiring f or SmartCraft Ga uges (Mercury par t 90-879939),
for details of installation configurations and requirements, alternative termination methods and
additional SmartCraft components such as harnesses, junction boxes and terminators. Also see
Appendix C

To use the SmartCraft functions, install the Smar tCraft gateway (see section 2), then go to the System
setup menu on the Navman Instrument and turn SmartCraft to On (See Setup > System menu).

2-3 Installation

1 Plan the installation: select where the

equipment and wiring will be installed.
Ensure that gateway can be located on a
panel near the Navman instrument, where
it will not inter fere with the operation of the
boat. (eg: cables are long enough for the
installation planned)

2 Screw the gateway to the panel using the

screws provided.

3 Connect the gateway (see sec tions 2-1 and

2-2). Secure the cables at regular intervals.

4 Power up, set up and test the system. Check

the gateway LEDs:

NAV (orange): Flashes fast when gateway

is exchanging data with the Navman
instrument and the engine key is on.

PWR (green): On when power and the

engine key are on.

CAN (red): Flashes fast when gateway

is exchanging data with the Smar tCraft
engine(s) and the engine key is on.

Important:

1 Do not connect any Navman fuel sensors to

the Navman instrument.

2 It is not necessar y to wire any Navman

instrument for auto power on.

3 The Navman Smar tCraf t capable instrument

sends SmartCraft data to other
Navman instruments connected by NavBus.
To connect other instruments by NavBus, see
the instrument’s installation and operation
manual. Turn NavBus on in all Navman
instruments connected by NavBus; for
example, for a Fish 4380, in the Com ms setup
menu, turn NavBus to On

.

4 A gateway does not provide data for system

link gauges.

5 To use speed troll control, the Navman

instrument must have a Navman
paddlewheel speed sensor connected.

3 Operation with a Navman FISH 4380

Before a SmartCraft gateway is connec ted, the FISH 4380 functions normally, with no Smar tCraf t
functions. When a Smar tCraft gateway is connected and SmartCraft is turned On (see section 3-1),
SmartCraft functions become available and some standard func tions change.

Tank type

Displ ay type

The data from the level sensor in each tank is the
depth in the tank as a percentage of the depth
when the tank is f ull. If the sides of the tank are
not vertical and straight, or if the tank top and
bottom are not flat, then the level sensor data
does not correspond to the volume in the tank;
for example if the sensor shows 50 %, the tank is
not 50 % full.

The Display typ e option selects how the
level sensor data is displayed:

Percentage: Display the percentage level

sensor data. The default is the percentage
level sensor data. If the tank is calibrated, then
a calibrated percentage is displayed.

Volume: Display a volume calculated

from the sensor data. The default is a linear
calculation, for example if the tank holds 500
G and the sensor shows 50 % of full, then 250
G is displayed. This is correct if the sides of the
tank are vertical and straight and the tank top
and bottom are flat. If this is not so, calibrate
the tank (see C alibrate below).
