Installation; Connecting The Gateway To The Smartcraft System - NorthStar SMARTCRAFT GATEWAY Manual

2 Installation

A system in a boat comprises:
a. One or two SmartCraft capable petrol/gaso-
line engines; the data available depends
on engine type and the sensors fitted (see
section 1-1).
b. A single or dual engine gateway.
c. A SmartCraft capable Navman instrument,
such as the FISH 4380, FISH 4600 or TRACK-
FISH 6600.
d. Other optional Navman instruments and
SmartCraft displays. See Appendix-C

2-1 Connecting the gateway to the SmartCraft system

Using a Navman cable adaptor: Use a Navman cable adaptor in a single engine system which does not
have optional SmartCraft displays. However, a SmartCraft junction box should be used if future expansion
of the SmartCraft system is planned.
