Connecting Optional Gps Unit To The System View; Setup For Multi Engine Location - Mercury SmartCraft SC5000 Operation Manual

Connecting Optional GPS Unit to the System View

NOTE: The GPS unit must comply to the National Marine Electronic Association NMEA
0183 Interface Standard v1.5, v2.0 or later compatible version.
First, look at the GPS wiring diagram and determine what two leads are the GPS output
leads. Locate the White and Blue wires coming from the System View wiring harness (see
Wiring). Connect the GPS output leads to the white and blue wires. If no data is received,
switch the wire connections around. If no data is still received, refer the GPS owner's manual
and see if the GPS has to be calibrated to turn on the output signal or needs to be grounded
differently.

Setup for Multi Engine Location

In multiple engine applications, each engine must be assigned a location. For example, star-
board and port. This is required for the correct engine data to be transmitted to the System
View.If the System View should ever detect an incorrect engine location, it will alert you by
displaying a multi engine fault message. If this should happen, reset the engine locations
using the Quicksilver Digital Diagnostic Terminal (DDT) along with SmartCraft Engine Diag-
nostic Cartridge Version 1.0 or newer.
