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.

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).

For a Navman instrument without a white fuel sensor connector (such as a FISH 4380):

Power/fuel s plitter cable (‘ Y’ cable)

Plug gateway into white conne ctor

Other wi ring, refer to the instrum ent’s manual

NavBus juncti on box

For a Navman instrument with a white fuel sensor connector (such as a FISH 4600 or TRACKFISH 6600):

Plug gateway into white conne ctor

The wires from the gateway to the Navman instrument cable can be connected to the instrument’s power/data cable. This option is not normally necessary. For more information, refer to your Navman dealer.

Cut white connec tor off gateway cable. Connect five gateway cable wires (red, black, blue, orange, brown) to the same colour wires in the power/data cable. An optional Navman NavBus junction box simplifies wiring.

FISH 4600, TRACKFISH 6600

Other wi ring, refer to the instrum ent’s manual

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.

The tank level display shows the levels from the optional level sensors in one or two tank s per engine (see section 1-1-1).

3-3 Troll control

Troll control allows adjustment of the engine’s idle speed from the Navman instrument. Troll control automatically controls the engine idle speed to maintain a set engine RPM or boat speed.

To use troll control, set Troll window to On

idle or Always and set Troll m ode to Speed or RPM (see sec tion 3-7). To use speed

troll control, set Speed ty pe to Padd le (see section 3-7).

To prohibit troll control, set Troll window to Neve r (see section 3-7).

Engaging troll control

1 Set the throttle(s) to idle and the engine(s)

in gear. From a main display, press display the Troll control window (see right).

2 Press or to set the desired RPM or boat

Note:

Each tank must be set up and calibrated (see section 3-8-1).

An alarm can be set to sound if the level in a tank is low (see section 3-8-1). These alarms are in addition to any SmartCraft engine fault low level alarms (see section 3-5).

Note:

1 The range of engine idle RPM adjustment

available for both RPM and speed mode depends one engine type. Generally this is between 600 and 1000 RPM.

2 In speed troll control, the boat might not

reach the desired speed if the maximum RPM available for troll control is too low or if conditions are bad.

3 Troll control is not available on some

MerCrusier™ engines.

Navman instrument can not receive engine data from the SmartCraft gateway.

Check engine: There are many other

engine fault alarms. When one of these alarms sounds, the alarm Check engine is displayed. For more information about the alarm, display the list of active alarms or the alarm histor y (see section 3- 6).

Notes:

1 For help when an Smar tCraft alarm occurs,

contact your Mercury dealer.

2 These SmartCraft alarms are always on. The

alarm values are determined by the engine type.
