Fuel Setup - Simrad NSS evo2 series Installation Manual

Fuel setup

The fuel utility monitors a vessels fuel consumption. This information is totalled to indicate
trip and seasonal fuel usage, and is used to calculate fuel economy for display on instrument
pages and the data bar.
To use the utility, a Navico Fuel Flow sensor, or a NMEA 2000 engine adaptor cable/gateway
with Navico Fuel Data Storage device must be fitted to the vessel. Neither the Navico Fuel
Flow sensor, nor the Suzuki engine interface require the use of a seperate Fuel Storage device.
Refer to the engine manufacturer or dealer for information on whether or not your engine
provides a data output, and what adaptor is available to connect to NMEA 2000.
Once physical connection is made, ensure source selection is completed. Multiple engine
installations using Fuel Flow sensors, or Fuel Data Storage devices, will require setup of related
engine location in the device list. For general source selection information refer to "Source
selection" on page 19.
¼ note:
Multiple engines utilising a single gateway will not work with the Navico Fuel Storage
device.
Vessel setup
This dialog must be used to select the number of
engines, the number of tanks and vessel's total fuel
capacity across all tanks.
Fuel flow configuration
Once the number of engines are set, it's required to
set which fuel flow sensor is connected to which engine. Under 'Device list' on the Network
page, view the 'Device Configuration' page for each sensor, and set 'Location' to match the
engine the device is connected to.
'Unconfigure' is for defaulting the device clearing all user settings, and 'Reset Fuel Flow' will
restore only the 'Fuel K-Value' setting, if set in 'Calibrate' . Only Navico devices can be reset.
Calibrate
Calibration may be required to accurately match measured flow with actual fuel flow. Access
calibration from the 'Refuel' dialog. Calibration is only possible on Navico's Fuel Flow sensor.
1.
Start with a full tank and run the engine as it would normally be operated.
2.
After at least several litres (a few gallons) have been used, the tank should be fully refilled, and
the 'Set to full' option selected.
