IMPORTANT:
Vantage View gauge installation and gauge sequence is critical in the operation of this system. Please
read the important information below before installing gauges. You cannot skip a Deutsch connector
in the slave harness chain, doing so will result in network failure. The Master Tach drives all subsequent
slave gauges. If there is more than one engine, each engine requires its own Master Tach, Master
Harness and its own set of slave gauges (optional) for monitoring engine performance. Please follow the
diagram below for proper installation.
Use the slave harness to connect the Master Tach to the slave gauges. Sequence of slave gauges is a matter
of personal preference of the installer/owner with the exception of the FWA Warning gauge. (see below)
Each Master Tachometer requires its own Master Harness which
connects to the network backbone.
Certain applications may require additional kits to add power drop
to the backbone, if not already supplied.
Shown here: NMEA 2000 network backbone
Installation Guide
The Deutsch connector to be used on this gauge has
intentionally left pins 4, 5 and 6 open for an optional
audible alarm. Installing this gauge on any other
connector will not operate the gauge.
For detailed instructions on how to install the optional
audible alarm, please see the FWA installation
instructions.

• About
Vantage View® is the next generation instrumentation system from
Livorsi that combines the best of analog and digital data display
technologies.
Vantage View® reads and displays vehicle performance data directly
from CAN (Controller Area Network) equipped apparatus that
support protocols such as SAE J1939, NMEA 2000® or SmartCraft®,
and supports a maximum of three analog sender inputs. The system
consists of a Master Tach instrument and optional complementary
slave instruments. This system eliminates the need for a translation
“black box” between an ECM/ECU and the instruments themselves
making wiring and installation simple and fast.
• Scope
This manual describes how to navigate the LCD interface and use
the many features found in a Vantage View® Master Tach Instrument.
Although the interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, this
operation manual provides users with a resource to realize the full
potential and capabilities of Vantage View® instrumentation.
Covered in this manual are display options, menu navigation and
menu function usage.
Although some wiring connections are noted for easy reference,
this manual does not cover complete installation mounting and
wiring requirements. Please refer to the Vantage View® installation
instruction sheet for proper installation.
• Precongured Instruments
Some instruments are precongured at the factory to individual OEM
specications to best meet the need of the application and end user.
Precongured features include but may not be limited to the type
and quantity of Quick View Main Screens, alarm conguration(s) and
active CAN protocol. Precongured features are easily modied to
satisfy personal preferences.

• Menu Navigation
Menu navigation requires the use of three externally mounted momentary switches connected to the
Master Tach instrument. The switch functions are MODE, UP and DOWN. These switches are supplied
and installed by the vehicle/equipment manufacturer.
• Mode Switch- Menu/Enter/Reset
As its name suggests, this switch serves several purposes when navigating the Vantage View®user
interface. The function depends upon the context of the menu.
Menu Function: Pressing and holding this switch for approximately three seconds while any of the
Quick View Main Screens are displayed brings up the Main Menu.
Mode Function: Pressing and releasing this switch while any of the Quick View Main Screens are
displayed toggles the display mode between three-line and detailed bar graph formats.
Enter Function: Pressing and releasing this switch provides enter functionality when Vantage View®
requires you to choose a menu item, parameter selection or value input.
Reset Function: Pressing and holding this switch resets trip miles and maintenance hour values to zero
when either of those screens are displayed.
• Up Switch
Pressing and releasing the Up switch scrolls up through parameter lists and menu choices or increases a
value one item/unit at a time.
Pressing and holding the Up switch continuously scrolls up through parameter lists, menu choices or
increases a value until the end of the parameter list, menu choices or maximum parameter value is
reached.
• Down Switch
The Down switch functions identical to the Up switch with the exception that its direction for all
displays, menu choices and values is down or decreasing.
• Switch Icon Conventions
Throughout this manual icons are used to indicate actions required by the user to navigate the menus.
Below are descriptions and the corresponding action to be taken when they appear.

• Menu Navigation (Continued)
Vantage View® uses various icons and indicators to guide users for item selection and/or input while
navigating the menus. The selection arrow and blinking bar cursors appear frequently throughout the
menus.
• Selection Arrow Cursor
The selection arrow cursor, shown at left, identies adjacent menu items as the current
selection. Pressing the Mode switch selects the menu item/function or value adjacent to
the arrow cursor.
Pressing and releasing an Up or Down switch moves the selection arrow up or down a
menu list one item at a time until the beginning or end of the list is reached. Pressing and
holding the Up or Down switch continuously moves the selection arrow up and down a menu list until
the switch is released or the beginning or end of the list is reached.

• Start-up Screen
Upon Instrument start-up the Livorsi logo and/or one of several possible CAN based protocol logo(s)
appear for approximately three seconds.
The default Quick View Main Screen screen appears after completion of the start-up routine and
replaces the start-up logo. For marine applications, the rst Quick View Main Screen display is factory
set to show total hours and always appears as the rst screen in the list of parameters/functions set for
Quick View Main Screen display.
Quick View Main Screens allow for easy viewing of up to 12 commonly used vehicle operating
parameters or functions by pressing the Up and Down switches. Users choose the quantity, order and
type of parameters to include in the Quick View Main Screen list.

• Bar Graph & Three Line Format
Vantage View® can display vehicle operating parameters on the Quick View Main Screens in two formats,
single parameter bar graph or three-line. The default display format is single parameter bar graph
which provides the most detail for a given parameter. The three-line display allows users to view three
parameters concurrently but with less detail. Total Hours, Total Miles and Engine Trim are not displayed
in the three-line format.
Pressing and releasing the Mode switch while any Quick View Main Screen except Total Hours, Total
Miles, Main Clock or Main Trim is active toggles between single parameter bar graph and three-line
display formats.
When using the three-line format, if more than three parameters are congured for Quick View Main
Screen display, use the Up and Down switches to scroll through the display stack. If fewer than three
parameters are congured for viewing then less than three parameters appear with the three-line
format active.
Figure 1-4: Setting Parameter View Display Format
Three-line display format appears.
Note: If less than three parameters
are congured for Quick View Main Screen
display, fewer than three lines appear.
Pressing the Enter switch again toggles
back to single function bar graph format.
Quick View Main Screen 2
appears in single function bar
graph format (default setting).
