Section 2 - Setup and Calibration
Setup Wizard Overview
Turning the key switch to the "RUN" position activates all VesselView units connected to the system. Complete the initial setup
process using the setup wizard when starting up any VesselView unit for the first time, or after selecting "RESET SETTINGS"
on the "FACTORY RESET" screen. The menu path is: "Main" > "Calibrate" > "Factory Reset." This process calibrates each
VesselView to the vessel's engine, sensor, and instrument configuration. The setup wizard procedures include:
•
Import configuration—This is used when a configuration is stored onto a USB memory stick.
•
Engine setup—This is used to define the size, type, and quantity of engines installed on the vessel.
•
Display setup—This is used to define the screen configuration for your engines.
•
Device setup—This is used to differentiate each VesselView unit when multiple VesselViews are installed on the vessel.
•
Tab setup and calibration—This is used to define the number of tabs installed on the vessel and their electrical connection.
Tabs will need to be calibrated so the data displayed is accurate. When configuring tabs and selecting the propulsion type
"POD," no calibration is required.
NOTE: Trim is not part of the setup wizard, but requires setup and calibration. Refer to Calibrating Trim .
On vessels with multiple VesselViews installed, the configuration setup and calibration settings can be saved onto a USB
memory stick and imported onto other VesselView units, rather than repeating the setup procedure manually, or repeat the
setup wizard for each VesselView unit installed. Using the import method requires the unique VesselView ID be manually
changed at each additional VesselView unit.
IMPORTANT: When VesselView is first configured during the setup wizard, the system will automatically detect sensors that
are present and ignores sensor inputs that have no sensors installed. If a sensor is removed from the system after the initial
configuration, the VesselView will show faults for the removed sensor. To stop the fault message, perform the "Reset Sensor
Detection" procedure. Refer to Factory Reset. VesselView will scan for sensors, and because the removed sensor is not
installed, the fault message will not appear.
Setup Wizard
The VesselView setup wizard guides you through the first steps of configuring the VesselView. The setup wizard begins when
the VesselView unit is turned on for the first time or when a factory reset is performed. The VesselView setup wizard starts with
the option to import a saved configuration from a USB memory stick.
NOTE: To use a USB memory stick to perform the import function, a VesselView configuration must be previously exported
(saved) to the USB memory stick. To skip the "IMPORT CONFIG" option, press the right arrow on the arrow pad. The setup
wizard will open the "ENGINE SETUP" screen. Refer to Save Configuration .
1.
Turn all engine key switches to the "RUN" position and the "WELCOME" screen will appear.
IMPORTANT: Do not rush VesselView by pressing buttons while the system is booting up to acquire vessel and engine
data. When VesselView is initially started or after a factory reset, the system will take a few seconds to complete the boot
up process. If you do not see the "IMPORT CONFIG" screen as the next screen, press the left arrow on the arrow pad until
it appears.
2.
Press the right arrow on the arrow pad to continue to "IMPORT CONFIG."
