the diagnostic trouble codes of ECU.
CL-950E
Built-in GPS speed sensor
Equipped with the GPS speed sensor which allows to get accurate measurements of the water vehicle
speed, calculate the fuel consumption for a trip and forecast mileage before the fuel tank is empty.
Built-in accelerometer
The accelerometer controls the pitch and roll angles of your water vehicle to prevent a capsize as well
as calculates the optimal trim angle of the engine and helps easy access to the gliding mode.
Environmentally sealed frame
All-weather dust and liquid protected frame with IP64 level (against water splashing).
Multifunctional color display
You can customize the display, color scheme and parameters.
A range of 1, 2, 4, 6 or 9 parameters can be selected for
displaying in a digital, graphic, arrow or progress bar mode.
The side info panel shows 4 user-chosen parameters for continual
monitoring.
Immediate fault warnings
Each time the ECU detects a fault, the trip computer immediately warns about it displaying the fault
code and its description. Thus you will know whether you must take actions right away or can continue
your trip.
Internet updates
You can customize automatic software updates on Multitronics CL-950E via mini-USB, memorize your
settings and transfer them to the newer versions.

Supports original communication protocols
Multitronics CL-950E is designed for communication with water vehicles equipped with boat motors
including Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki, Evinrude etc. via original manufacturers' protocols as well as with
other injection type engines compatible with NMEA2000. Also supports J1939 protocol (MerCruiser,
Volvo Penta, Crusader, Flagship Marine, Ilmor Marine Engines, Indmar, Kodiak Marine, Marine Power
etc. compatible with SAE J1939). Takes readings of engine parameters like fuel consumption,
temperature, engine hours, service data, faults etc. Moreover, Multitronics CL-950E is compatible with
any injection (connection to injection plug is required) or carburetor (connection to mechanical
interrupter or electronic switch is required) type of engine.
Standard mount
Mounts in a 85 mm standard opening, front panel installation size 129,5 х 103,5 mm.
Compatible with NMEA2000
Build your NMEA2000 network: the trip computer receives engine data via the original manufacturer's
protocol and communicates it to your chartplotter via NMEA2000 network.

Wide range of external connections
Supports connection to other sensors: the tilt (trim) sensor - to monitor and adjust its optimal position,
the fuel flow sensor (for carburetor engines), the injection plug (for injection engines) or the ignition coil
interrupter (for carburetor engines), the fuel level sensor, the temperature sensor.
%Engine performance monitoring
When any of the engine performance parameter (rpm, temperature, trim, tank etc.) exceeds the
previously set boundaries the trip computer issues a warning signal and displays the data of the
exceeded parameter.
IPS display
Eye-catching and high resolution IPS display 4,3".
The display of the device is glued to the protective glass to prevent fogging inside the case.

2.4.3. Building your NMEA2000 network
Multitronics CL-950E takes readings of parameters via the diagnostic line of the engine and transmits the processed data
to the NMEA2000 bus allowing to display this data on the screens of other devices (for example, a chartplotter) or to
create a network of several trip computers and ensure their simultaneous operation.
This technology gives advantage of integrating into the NMEA2000 network even those engines that do not support the
NMEA 2000 format (except J1939 protocol). Parameters of the engine operation of your water vehicle can be displayed
on a chartplotter.
To activate data transition into the NMEA2000 network proceed the following steps after Multitronics CL-950E has been
mounted and connected:
1. Turn on the chartplotter and wait till it is booted up.
2. Make to following changes to the settings of the device: “Settings display-Control-Conversion to NMEA-ON”
3. Turn off the ignition and wait till the screen of the Multitronics CL-950E is off then turn on the ignition (start the engine)
4. Select the engine parameters on the chartplotter according to its manual instructions.

2.4.4. Building the NMEA2000 network with several computers
When The Multitronics CL-950E is specified as the main computer it reads parameters from the engine
diagnostic line and transmits the processed data to the NMEA 2000 bus, which allows this date to be displayed
on screens of other trip computers thus creating a network of several trip computers and ensuring their
simultaneous operation.
Such parallel operation can be build up by one set of cables which connects the main trip computer to the
engine, other connections can be made with ordinary wires.

* When connecting several trip computers to each other, installation of at least one resistor R1 = 120 ohm is mandatory
otherwise computers will not work.

It is possible to combine the outputs "+12V" and "Ignition", in this case the speed sensor will start working as soon as
power is supplied (establishing connection with satellites can take some time).
If you choose separate connection of the "+12V" and "Ignition" outputs connecting them to assigned sockets, the trip
computer retains the GPS speed sensor working for 5 minutes after the ignition is turned off, which reduces the time to
search for satellites during short stops.
Attention! Performance of the GPS sensor may deteriorate when the vehicle is blocked by surrounded objects or in bad weather
conditions. After long idle periods "cold" switching may take a few minutes.
Connection of an external speed sensor to the Multitronics CL-950E is optional and should be performed in case of unstable GPS
signals reception by the built-in GPS sensor of the trip computer.
Connect the Multitronics speed sensor to the "Ignition" output of the trip computer and complete the settings:
Settings display - Sources - Lock - Virt.
Settings display - Sources - Speed - Sens.

3). Possible locations of connectors and sensors
To connect the Multitronics CL-950E to the diagnostic connector of the engine, refer to the manufacturer's technical
documentation or to a technician experienced with these types of engines.
As a rule the diagnostic connector is located next to the engine control unit (ECU) under a protective cover against
moisture and dirt.
The schemes below show the locations of diagnostic connectors and sensors for some types of engines from various
manufacturers.

The "trim" wire must be connected to the signal wire (see the
electrical diagram for the engine. In most cases you can determine
the proper wire using a tester: one of the wires is the ground, on
the second (signal) the voltage varies depending on the position of
the engine. The example on the right demonstrates that B is the
ground (black) and P is the signal (pink).
Connect the "injection plug" wire to the signal
wire (see the electrical diagram for the engine).
As a rule it is possible to determine the signal
wire by color as each plug is assigned to its own
color whereas the common wire has the same
color for all plugs. In the example diagram above
the signal wires are blue, purple or green whilst
the white-red wire is the ground.
