Northstar SMARTCRAFT GATEWAY User Manual

1Introduction

The Navman SmartCraftTM gateway connects one ortwoSmartCraftcapableMercurypetrol/gasoline engines to a SmartCraft capable Navman instrument, such as the FISH 4380, FISH 4600 orTRACKFISH6600.Thesinglegatewayisforsingleengines, 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.

This manual describes:

How to install a Navman SmartCraft gateway.

How to use the SmartCraft functions of a Navman SmartCraft capable instrument. Refer to the separate Navman instrument Installation andOperationManual 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 .

Engines can have optional level sensors fitted:

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.

If level sensors are fitted: the tank levels can be

displayed; there are alarms for low tank levels; the tanksmustbesetupandcalibrated(seefollowing sections:

b.A single or dual engine gateway.

c.A SmartCraft capable Navman instrument, such as the FISH 4380, FISH 4600 orTRACKFISH 6600.

d.Other optional Navman instruments and SmartCraft displays. See Appendix-C

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 connector o 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.

2-3Installation

1Plan 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 interfere with the operation of the boat. (eg: cables are long enough for the installation planned)

2Screw the gateway to the panel using the screws provided.

3Connect the gateway (see sections 2-1 and 2-2). Secure the cables at regular intervals.

4Power 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 SmartCraft engine(s) and the engine key is on.

Important:

1Do not connect any Navman fuel sensors to the Navman instrument.

2It is not necessary to wire any Navman instrument for auto power on.

3The Navman SmartCraft 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 instru-

ments connected by NavBus; for example, for a Fish 4380, in the Commssetup menu, turn

NavBusto On.

4A gateway does not provide data for system link gauges.

5To use speed troll control, the Navman instrument must have a Navman paddlewheel speed sensor connected.

Fueldisplay:The fuel display functions normally, with fuel and speed data coming from the SmartCraft system rather than from separate sensors connected to the FISH 4380.

Fuelsetupoptions:

If no fuel tanks have an optional level sensor fitted (see section 1-1-1), then the Smartcraft fuel flow is used to calculate fuel remaining.The fuel setup data is the same as the standard FISH 4380.You must tell the FISH 4380 when you add or remove fuel (see the FISH4380InstallationandOperation manual).

If each fuel tank has an optional level sensor fitted (see section 1-1-1), then these tank levels are used

to calculate fuel remaining. In the Fuel display, Usedchanges to Trip used, and the only fuel setup option is Clear trip used. Trip usedmeasures the volume of fuel used until it is reset to zero by selecting Clear trip usedin the fuel setup menu.You do not tell the FISH 4380 when

you add or remove fuel.

Enginehours: Engine hours on the Log display come from the SmartCraft system. It can not be reset.

Simulatemode: Data from the SmartCraft engine(s) and sensors is simulated in Simulate mode.The SmartCraft features simulated will probably di er from the features available in your system.
