Calibrate Water Speed: Calibrates the speed-sensing
transducer or sensor

(Calibrating a Water Speed Device,

page
57).
Vessel Type: Enables some chartplotter features based on the
boat type.
CZone™: Sets the digital switching circuits.
SeaStar Instance: Sets the digital switching circuits.
e-KEY Management: Allows you to manage the electronic keys
(e-KEYs).
Drive Type: The setting should be changed by authorized Volvo
Penta personnel only.
ACP Mode: Sets the ACP protection mode.
Toe Angle: The setting should be changed by authorized Volvo
Penta personnel only.
Speed Factor: Calibrates the displayed boat speed.
PTA Settings: Allows you to enter new maximum limits for the
PTA modes.
Fuel Tank: Sets the fuel tank settings.
Seven Marine Installation: Sets the Seven Marine engine
settings.
Hull ID Number: Allows you to enter the Hull Identification
Number (HIN).The HIN might be permanently affixed to the
upper starboard side of the transom or outboard side.

Setting the Keel Offset

You can enter a keel offset to compensate the water depth
reading for the transducer installation location. This allows you
to view the depth of the water below the keel or the true depth of
the water, depending on your needs.
If you want to know the water depth below the keel or the lowest
point of your boat and the transducer is installed at the water
line or anywhere above the end of the keel, measure the
distance from the transducer location to the keel of the boat.
If you want to know the true water depth and the transducer is
installed below the water line, measure the distance from the
bottom of the transducer up to the water line.
NOTE: This option is only available when you have valid depth
data.
1
Measure the distance:
• If the transducer is installed at the water line
anywhere above the end of the keel, measure the
distance from the transducer location to the keel of the
boat. Enter this value as a positive number.
• If the transducer is installed at the bottom of the keel
and you want to know the true depth of the water,
measure the distance from the transducer to the water
line. Enter this value in as a negative number.
2
Select Settings > My Vessel > Depth and Anchoring >
Keel Offset.
3
Select
if the transducer is installed at the water line, or
select
if the transducer is installed at the bottom of the
keel.
4
Enter the distance measured in step 1.

Setting the Water Temperature Offset

Before you can set the water temperature offset, you must have
a NMEA 0183 water-temperature sensor or a temperature-
capable transducer to measure water temperature.
Device Configuration
The temperature offset compensates for the temperature
reading from a temperature sensor.
1
Measure the water temperature using the temperature sensor
or temperature-capable transducer that is connected to the
chartplotter.
2
Measure the water temperature using a different temperature
sensor or a thermometer that is known to be accurate.
3
Subtract the water temperature measured in step 1 from the
water temperature measured in step 2.
This is the temperature offset. Enter this value in step 5 as a
positive number if the sensor connected to the chartplotter
measures the water temperature as being colder than it
actually is. Enter this value in step 5 as a negative number if
the sensor connected to the chartplotter measures the water
temperature as being warmer than it actually is.
4
Select Settings > My Vessel > Temp. Offset.
5
Enter the temperature offset calculated in step 3.
Calibrating a Water Speed Device
If you have a speed-sensing transducer connected to the
chartplotter, you can calibrate that speed-sensing device to
improve the accuracy of water-speed data displayed by the
chartplotter.
1
Select Settings > My Vessel > Calibrate Water Speed.
2
Follow the on-screen instructions.
If the boat is not moving fast enough or the speed sensor is
not registering a speed, a message appears.
3
Select OK, and safely increase the boat speed.
4
If the message appears again, stop the boat, and ensure the
speed-sensor wheel is not stuck.
5
If the wheel turns freely, check the cable connections.
6
If you continue to get the message, contact Volvo Penta
product support.

Adding a Key

You can add keys to the system. The system can have up to
four keys, which are numbered from 1 to 4.
1
Select Settings > My Vessel > e-KEY Management > Add
e-KEY.
2
When prompted, hold the new key in front of the panel.
or
The system will store the key ID.

Setting the Speed Factor

Before you can set the speed factor, you must compare the
displayed vessel speed with an external data source for speed,
such as GPS or another vessel.
Before you can set the speed factor, the vessel must be under
way.
1
Select Settings > My Vessel > Speed Factor.
2
Enter the difference between the displayed speed and the
external data.
3
Verify that the two speed sources are displaying the same
value.

Fuel Tank Settings

Select Settings > My Vessel > Fuel Tank, and select a
driveline.
For more information, refer to the Volvo Penta manual.
Volume: Sets the fuel capacity of this fuel tank on your vessel.
Empty Tank: Calibrates the empty tank level.
Multipoint: Calibrates various fuel levels between empty and
full.
Full Tank Calibration: Calibrates the full tank level.
