Tab Setup And Calibration - Mercury VesselView Manual

Tab Setup and Calibration

"MERCURY" or "POD" must be selected for VesselView to display tabs. Vessels equipped with a Zeus power package, tab
setup and calibration is not required. For all other vessels equipped with a SmartCraft compatible tab or several tabs,
VesselView must be calibrated to the tab sensor.
The tab position sensor changes resistance values as the engine or drive is raised or lowered. The resistance values represent
a position where the sensor is on a scale (current actual %) and a percentage value (0%–100%) on the tab gauge. Changing
the actual % value calibrates the tab level indicator to the tab position sensor. To compensate for sensitivity of the tab position
sensor, select the positions (100 = Down, 50 = Level, and 0 = Up) and adjust the actual % value to match the current actual %
for that known tab position.
1. Press the check button to enter "TAB SETUP."
2. Press the left or right arrow on the arrow pad to identify the propulsion type: "NONE," "MERCURY," "POD."
NOTE: Calibration of the tabs is not required for Zeus power packages. "POD" must be selected for VesselView to display
the tab screen.
3. "NONE" is the default selection when no sensors are detected. If tabs are installed, press the down arrow on the arrow pad
to access the number of tabs. If there are no tabs installed, press the "X" button to go back one step to the "TAB SETUP"
screen and continue to step.
4. Press the left or right arrow on the arrow pad to select the number of tabs installed. Up to three tabs can be selected.
5. Press the down arrow on the arrow pad to access the "RIGHT TAB" window.
