Mercury Theft Deterrent System (TDS) Premium with Connected Vessel
IMPORTANT: It is important that the installer of this product review the installation instructions and thoroughly understand the
process before any component is connected and securely retained.
Installation Requirements
The Mercury theft deterrent system premium with connected vessel has the following installation requirements:
• Mercury theft deterrent system (basic) part number 8M0057383 must be installed and configured to a compatible Mercury
SmartCraft engine before proceeding.
• A SmartCraft junction box with one available port that will provide a CAN P (propulsion) bus in the general installation area.
• A house battery, accessory battery, or battery bank that provides an uninterrupted 12 volts DC source.
IMPORTANT: The TDS‑Premium system installation will not provide continuous security when connected to a power
source that can be turned off: examples of this are battery switches, accessory relays, or the ignition switch. If the power
connections for the TDS‑Premium system can be easily located and disconnected, the system will not provide the
maximum anti‑theft features.
NOTE: Do not connect to an engine battery. The system draws approximately 150 milliamps constantly. Connecting to the
engine battery could result in the engine not starting when needed. An accessory battery with a battery isolator must be
installed, if necessary.
• A flat surface in a remote location for mounting the main transmitting unit (MTU). The MTU can be mounted in any
orientation. However, a horizontal mount is preferred. Do not mount the system in the engine compartment or bilge.
• Access to flat surfaces on the underside of the vessel's deck or some other upper surface for mounting the two antennas.
The selected locations must be made of fiberglass or composite material and have an unblocked view of the sky. Objects
mounted directly above the antenna may disrupt the reception signals to and from the GPS and Iridium satellites. The
antennas will not work through metal or metallic coatings.
• Digital throttle and shift (DTS) engines must have the latest command module software (version 0077).
Operation Overview
The TDS‑Premium is a GPS tracking system with satellite communication. It provides the owner the opportunity to continuously
monitor the location of the vessel. It integrates with the basic TDS and uses the key fob to control the operation mode of
TDS‑Premium. The GPS provides the position of the vessel while the satellite network provides communication between the
TDS‑Premium and a secure internet website. All system configuration and alert setup is performed through the consumer
internet website.
The system uses GPS for coordinates to monitor the vessel's location. When the vessel crosses the security fence boundary,
the satellite network will send an alert e‑mail or text message to the addresses designated by the vessel owner. E‑mail and text
message addresses must be configured on the website. Additionally, position reports are transmitted through the satellite
network every minute and are archived in the website when the vessel crosses a security fence boundary. All alert notifications
are configured through a secure internet website. There are several different borders used in TDS‑Premium, all of which are
explained in the following information.
IMPORTANT: It is important to understand that every instance of reports or alerts transmitted through the Iridium satellite
network increases the amount of data used in your data plan.

Section 1 - Important Information
90-8M0072763 eng JUNE 2012 Page 7
Key fob – The key fob arms and disarms the theft deterrent system and controls the frequency and type of alert messages sent
while in or out of the security perimeter.
Security fence – A security fence is a virtual 152.4 m (500 ft) radius border around the last recorded GPS position when the
system is armed. Vessel position reports are transmitted every four hours while the vessel remains inside the security fence. If
the vessel crosses the virtual security fence, it is considered unauthorized and alerts will be transmitted as configured by the
owner. When the vessel crosses the security fence, position reports are transmitted through the satellite network every minute
to allow detailed tracking for a swift recovery. The security fence is not visible on the website.
Containment fence – A containment fence is a virtual predefined perimeter boundary based on GPS coordinates. This virtual
containment fence is configured on the secure internet website. Position reports are provided when the vessel has exited the
containment fence. The timing of the boundary crossing and the position report alert may not be synchronized. A containment
fence is visible on the website with the color green.
Hazard fence – A hazard fence is a virtual predefined perimeter boundary based on GPS coordinates. All conditions for the
hazard fence are identical to the containment fence with exception to the color. This would be most useful to identify areas you
wish the vessel to avoid. A hazard fence is visible on the website with the color red.
Installation Details
• The overall installation should be as inconspicuous as possible since it is not meant to be seen and does not require any
operator input. The installation of the parts and harnesses should blend in with the existing vessel harnesses and modules.
The more difficult it is to identify and determine its function, the more secure the installation. If the system can be easily
located, it could be compromised.
• The components should be held in the proposed location with tape (not included) to test the system prior to a permanent
installation. This test will verify the system and antenna operation before permanent installation, for example: drilled holes,
activating heat shrink, and using the adhesive pads on the antennas. Do not skip this important process.
• The antennas are specific for up and down orientation. They will not function if mounted upside down. Do not attach the
adhesive pad to an antenna until you are sure where and how it will be mounted.
• The Iridium satellite antenna must be mounted far enough away from any magnetic pole sensing component so not to
interfere with the operation of these types of components. Examples of these components are a compass or an internal
measurement unit (IMU). The Iridium satellite antenna is manufactured with a strong internal magnet that will affect these
type of components.
• Keep all system parts far away from known sources of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference
(RFI). Examples of these interference sources are: marine radios, radar systems, high‑powered audio amplifiers and
speakers, and engine ignition systems.
• Fasten and support the harness with clamps or cable ties along the routing path. A clamp or cable tie must be used within
25 cm (10 in.) of any connection and every 46 cm (18 in.) along the routing path if not housed in a rig tube.
Key Fob Use Explanation
The key fob is an important component link in the operation of the theft deterrent system.
• When the key fob is not inserted into the docking station, the TDS‑Premium is armed (locked) and a virtual 152.4 m (500 ft)
radius security fence around the last recorded GPS position is established. In this mode, vessel position reports are
transmitted every four hours while the vessel remains inside the security fence radius. If the vessel crosses the virtual
security fence boundary, it is considered unauthorized and alerts will be transmitted as designated by the owner. When the
vessel crosses the security fence boundary, position reports are transmitted through the satellite network every minute to
allow detailed tracking for a swift recovery. The security fence is not visible on the website.
• When the key fob is inserted into the docking station, the TDS‑Premium is disarmed (unlocked) and the virtual security
fence is deactivated. The system believes the owner has authorized the control of the operation of the vessel and the
vessel has unrestricted travel. Position reports will continue to be transmitted through the satellite network every half hour
by default.
• When the ignition is turned off with the key fob inserted, a virtual security fence 152.4 m (500 ft) radius is established.
Vessel position reports are transmitted every four hours while the vessel remains inside the security fence radius. If the
vessel crosses the virtual security fence boundary when trailered, towed, or has drifted out of the virtual security fence, it is
considered unauthorized and alerts will be transmitted as designated by the owner. When the vessel crosses the security
fence boundary, position reports are transmitted through the satellite network every minute.
• When the key fob is removed from the docking station while the ignition is in the on position and the engine is running, the
theft deterrent system remains deactivated. No virtual security fence is established and the vessel can continue to operate.
When the ignition is turned off with the key fob removed from the docking station, a virtual security fence boundary is
quickly established. If the key fob is not inserted when the engine is started, engine operation will be limited and the virtual
security fence remains armed (locked). The key fob must be inserted into the docking station to disarm the virtual security
fence, allowing the engine to operate within normal parameters.

Section 1 - Important Information
Page 8 90-8M0072763 eng JUNE 2012
Important Information about Transporting Over Land
When transportation over land is required, it is assumed the ignition key switch and key fob are removed. When the key fob is
not installed into the docking station, the TDS‑Premium is armed (locked) and a virtual 152.4 m (500 ft) radius security fence
around the last recorded GPS position is established. Vessel position reports are transmitted every four hours while the vessel
remains inside the security fence. When the vessel crosses the virtual security fence boundary, alerts will be transmitted as
configured by the owner and position reports will be made every minute while the vessel is outside the security fence while in
motion. When the vessel is stationary for 15 minutes, a new security fence is established, transmitting position reports every
four hours. When the vessel crosses the new security fence boundary, alerts will be transmitted and position reports will be
generated every minute, which can lead to higher data usage and additional charges.
