Dual Engine Conguration

This section shows you how to set-up a dual-engine
conguration using three (3) C10 Color Displays,
two uid level sensors, two engine interfaces, and
one GPS.

This is a typical dual-engine conguration using

three C10 Color Displays. You may choose to
set-up your vessel differently by adding or reducing
the number of accessories.

Initial Power-Up

NOTE:
The C10 should be connected to a dual cable or
Suzuki Precision Control (SPC) motor, and then be

powered up. It is now ready for conguration.

Once the C10 Color Display is turned ON, the
Suzuki “S” logo appears. The C10 then takes 25 –
30 seconds to power-up to the rst screen.

Select a Language

The rst screen to appear is the Select Language
screen — use the arrow buttons to select the

proper language, then press Enter.

Set the Time and Date

NOTE:
With a GPS installed, the local time offset is
automatically populated.

25

1. To set the time and date manually, use the

arrow buttons to select Time format, then

use the arrow buttons to select the 12-hour or

24-hour time format and press Enter.

2. Use the arrow buttons to select Date format,
then set the date and press Enter.

NOTE:
A GPS antenna must be connected in order for the
date to be accurate.

3. After setting the time and date, conrm the

information is correct, then select Next and
press Enter.

26

Select the Units to be Displayed

1. On the Units screen, use the arrow buttons to

select how you want units to be displayed on

the C10, then press Enter.

Vessel Set-up

1. On the Vessel Set-up screen, the C10 will

default to 1 engine and 1 fuel tank.

Use the arrow buttons to select the Number
of Engines box. Then use the arrow buttons

to change it to 2.

If the vessel has two fuel tanks, use the arrow

buttons to select the Number of Fuel Tanks

box. Then use the arrow buttons to change it
to 2.

NOTE:
It is possible to select up to eight engines, but only
two engines can be displayed at any time on the
C10 Color Display.

2. Use the arrow buttons to select Total Fuel

Capacity (gal). Then use the arrow buttons

again to set the Total Fuel Capacity and
press Enter.

In this example, the total fuel capacity has

been set to 60 gallons.

27

3. After conrming the Vessel Setup information,

select OK and press Enter.

Engine Display Conguration

Since you’re working with three C10 Color Displays, it’s important that the information from the port and
starboard engines are displayed correctly, as shown below.

Port C10 Color Display Center C10 Color Display Starboard C10 Color Display

Begin by working with the port C10 rst... (Go to the next page)

28

1. On the port C10 Color Display, use the arrow

buttons to change Engine 1 to Port. Leave
Engine 2 as no engine. Then select OK.

2. On the center C10 Color Display, use the

arrow buttons to change Engine 1 to Port,
and use the arrow buttons to set Engine 2 to
Starboard. Then select OK.

3. On the starboard C10 Color Display, use

the arrow buttons to change Engine 1 to

Starboard and leave Engine 2 as no engine.
Then select OK.

29

When you’re nished, your three C10 Color Displays should appear as shown below.

Port C10 Color Display Center C10 Color Display Starboard C10 Color Display

Warning Screen

The C10 uses engine fuel ow to calculate the
remaining fuel in the fuel tank.

1. After completing the congurations above,
a Warning screen asks if any fuel has been

added to the vessel since the vessel was
last used.

If you select Yes, the Add Fuel screen will open.

2. It is recommended that you ll the fuel tank to
full capacity for the initial set-up of the fuel level
display in the C10. If you desire, you can add
a uid level sensor to the vessel, and you can

then add a custom page to the C10 to monitor
this information.

30

Congure Devices on the Network

With everything physically connected, the rst item
to congure are the engine interfaces.

1. Press the Menu button once.

2. Press Enter to select the Settings menu.

3. Using the arrow buttons to select System and

press Enter.

31

4. Make sure Network is highlighted, then press
Enter.

5. Use the arrow buttons to highlight Device

List, then press Enter.

NOTE:

The Device List is where you access the individual
devices and congure them one at a time.

The Device List display is also useful for conrming

that each item is connected to the backbone.

32

6. Using the arrow buttons, select Suzuki

Engine Interface.

7. With only the starboard engine interface

connected, use the arrow buttons to nd it on

the Device List and highlight it.

NOTE:
With a multiple engine application, it is recommended
that you connect and label each engine interface
one-by-one, starting with the starboard side rst.

The reason for this is that the engine interface
defaults to port. This makes it easier to correctly
assign the engine locations.

8. Select Congure and press Enter.

9. Select the location of the engine and label it as

Starboard (stbd).

33

10. Select Yes to conrm the location.

11. With the latest engine interface software

version, the year and engine type are
automatically populated.

12. Now repeat the process above to congure

the port engine interface.

With the port engine interface connected, use

the arrow buttons to nd it on the Device List

and highlight it, then press Enter.

34

13. Use the arrow buttons to highlight Congure

and press Enter.

14. Conrm the location to port.

If the C10 displays anything other than port,

change the location to port and select Yes to

conrm the location change.

The year and engine automatically populate

the screen.

15. Select Yes to conrm the location.

35

Conguring the Fluid Level Sensor

The next item on the Device List to be congured
are the uid level sensors.

1. Use the arrow buttons to highlight Suzuki

Fluid Level.

NOTE:

With multiple uid level sensors, it is recommended
that you connect and label each uid sensor one-by­one, starting with the starboard side rst (just like the

Engine Interfaces).

2. Congure the starboard uid level sensor
rst. Use the arrow buttons to nd it on the

Device List and press Enter.

3. Select Congure and press Enter.

4. Select the Tank to number 1 in the drop-down

menu — this is your starboard uid sensor.

36

5. Select Yes to conrm the selection.

6. Select the Fluid type to Fuel.

7. Press Yes to conrm the uid type.

37

8. Use the arrow buttons to select Tank size
and press Enter.

9. When the box begins ashing, use the arrow
buttons to specify the number of gallons and

press Enter.

10. Select Yes to conrm the tank size.

11. Press Menu to return to the previous screen.

Setting the Alarm

After conguring the uid level sensors, congure
the low fuel alarms. In this example, it is being set
for 20 percent.

1. Select Alarms and press Enter.

38

2. Select the Empty alarm box and use the arrow

buttons to set the low fuel alarm percent.

3. A warning screen asks you to conrm the

uid level change conguration — select Yes

and press Enter.

Calibrating the Fuel Level Sensor

After the low fuel warning is set, the calibration fuel
level points need to be set.

NOTE:
Be sure the fuel tanks are empty before you start
this procedure. Later, you will be instructed to ll
the fuel tanks to complete the procedure.

Starting with the starboard tank, use the procedure
below, then repeat the process for the port tank.

1. Select Calibrate and press Enter.

39

2. The next screen provides you with ve steps

for calibrating the uid level sensor:

2.1 Select the number of calibration points.

2.2 Select the tank level to calibrate.

2.3 Fill the tank to the selected tank level.

2.4 Press Calibrate.

2.5 Repeat the procedure above for each

tank level.

Select Conrm to go to the next screen.

3. Select from the Number Points drop-down

and select Calibrate.

NOTE:

In this example, the C10 is being congured for a

2-point calibration.
For additional calibration information, refer to the

information provided with the uid level sensor.

4. Select Empty from the Fluid level drop-down,
then select Calibrate and press Enter.

complete — press Menu twice to navigate

back to the Device List screen.

41

GPS Antenna

Unlike the other devices, if the GPS antenna is
properly installed, it will automatically congure on
its own.

The GPS antenna displays speed and the compass.

NOTE:
A non-Suzuki aftermarket GPS may not show the
compass.

Using the Auto Select Function
