INFORMATION DISPLAY
SYSTEMS

Engine Monitor System

All remote controlled outboards must be equipped
with an engine monitoring system to warn the
operator of conditions that could damage the out-
board.
The engine monitor system includes sensors on
the outboard and oil tank, a warning horn, a dash-
mounted display, and related wiring.
The outboard's EMM sends information about
monitored functions to:
•
SystemCheck gauges, or
•
An I-Command or ICON display.
IMPORTANT:
Operating the outboard without
an engine monitor will void the warranty for fail-
ures related to monitored functions.
Typical I-Command and SystemCheck gauges

SystemCheck Gauges

SystemCheck gauges are used with mechanical
remote control systems only.
SystemCheck gauges receive monitored informa-
tion from the outboard through a Modular Wiring
System (MWS) harness.
Refer to SystemCheck (MWS) Harness Con-
nections on p. 12.

INFORMATION DISPLAY SYSTEMS

I-Command Displays

I-Command digital displays are designed specifi-
cally for NMEA 2000 certified Evinrude E-TEC
outboards. These displays provide enhanced
engine and boat performance information. Multi-
ple functions are integrated into the easy-to-use
displays. Additional displays and accessories can
be added with the plug and play design.
I-Command information displays can be used with
either a mechanical remote control system or with
an Evinrude ICON system. For complete installa-
tion instructions, refer to I-Command Installation
Guide.
When installing an I-Command network, remem-
ber:
•
A terminator must be installed at each end of
the network
•
There should be no open or unused network
device connectors
•
The network should be grounded at a single
location only
•
A maximum of 50 devices can be attached to
the network *
•
The distance between any two points on the
network must not exceed 100 meters (328 ft.).
* The EMM on Evinrude E-TEC outboards has a
load equivalency number of 1. Less than 50 mA of
the network's power is used by the EMM.
If a mechanical control is used, the I-Command
network receives monitored information through
an I-Command network harness connected
007988
directly to the outboard's EMM. An I-Command
Ignition and Trim harness is required to carry start,
stop, and trim signals to the outboard.
Refer to I-Command Harness Connections
With Mechanical Remote Control on p. 13.
If an ICON control is used, the I-Command net-
work receives monitored information through the
ICON control network gateway.
Refer to Evinrude ICON / I-Command Harness
Connections on p. 14.
