BASIC OPERATION
The Monitor is an LCD multi-function display gauge. A variety of
displays can be activated using the button.
Pressing the button scrolls the following displays: fuel used,
tachometer (RPM), fuel flow, power trim position, engine temp,
water pressure, battery voltage, range (if calibrated), and water
depth (if equipped with transducer).
The Monitor will power up when the ignition is turned on.
The display includes a backlight which allows you to read it at night.
The backlight brightness is adjustable using button.
In the event of a warning alarm, the warning icon(s) will be
displayed.
Initial Power Up (Or After Master Reset)
Unit will display software level then flash the word “SEt” in
conjunction with engine icon, indicating it is ready to start the
auto–detect procedure.
Press the button.
AUTO-DETECTION
The unit will begin it’s “Auto-detection” of engine type procedure. In
this procedure the Monitor checks with the engine control module
(ECM) to see what type of engine you have and presets the data
monitoring screens accordingly, (e.g., If Monitor detects an inboard
engine connected to the data network it will turn off all engine/drive
TRIM functions as these functions are not used in an inboard engine
installation). The intention is to make initial setup easier. It also checks
for other Monitors to allow for appropriate engine location and station
location setting. When setting up monitors for multi–engine or
multi–station installations, perform a power up or a master reset on all
monitors before performing the auto–detect function. Once all of the
monitors display ”SEt” then, perform auto–detect on the monitors.

BASIC OPERATION
Initial Power Up (Or After Master Reset)
INITIAL AUTO-DETECTION ERROR MESSAGES:
Flashing “Stbd” – More than one of
the engine computers (ECMs) are
configured as a starboard engine.
The engines must be programmed
for proper engine location using a
DDT or Quicksilver Diagnostic Tool.
Flashing “nonE” – The gauge does
not see any engine computers
(ECMs). Please check wiring for bad
connections and for proper amount
of terminator resistors.
Flashing “noSt” – None of the
engine computers (ECMs) are
configured as a starboard engine.
Engines may not be compatible or
must be programmed for proper
engine location by using a DDT or
Quicksilver Diagnostic Tool.
Flashing “2001” – You will need to
manually select your engine type.
Use the button to scroll
through the choices. Stnd = Stern
Drive, Inbd = Inboard, JEtd = Jet
Drive, Out2 = Outboard 2 Stroke,
Out4 = Outboard 4 Stroke.
Press to continue.

MASTER RESET
You can return the gauge back to factory presets through the Master
Reset command.
IMPORTANT: Performing a master reset will reset the unit back
to all factory defaults, thus eliminating any installation
calibrations performed during set up of product.
1. Hold in and for approximately 12 seconds. You will
see the word “dFLt”. Let go of the buttons.
2. Immediately press and hold in and again until the
unit counts down to zero “0”.
3. The “SEt” message flashing on the screen indicates that the
unit has been reset to factory defaults.
