  • Page 2: Determining An Installation Location

    Wiring the GFL 10 Adapter Connect the GFL 10 adapter either to an analog gauge or to the sender directly using the bare wires on the wiring harness. Wiring the GFL 10 Adapter to an Analog Gauge If your boat has an analog gauge representing the fluid level, you can wire the GFL 10 adapter directly to the gauge.
  • Page 3 Connecting the GFL 10 Adapter to a NMEA 2000 Network After you have connected the GFL 10 adapter to the analog gauge or to the sender, connect it to the existing NMEA 2000 network on your boat. If you do not have a NMEA 2000 network on your boat, you must build one.
  • Page 4 Configuring the NMEA 2000 Fluid Type You can indicate the type of fluid that is in the tank with which each GFL 10 adapter is associated. 1. From the NMEA 2000 Devices list, select the GFL 10 device.
  • Page 5 4. Select Done. Calibrating the Fluid Level To use the GFL 10 adapter, you must calibrate the fluid level of the tank that the adapter is associated with, using a minimum of two calibration points. The greater the number of fluid calibration points, the greater the accuracy of the reading on the fluid-level gauge.
  • Page 6 Troubleshooting the Gauge Type When connected to a gauge, the GFL 10 adapter gauge type is set to auto Detect by default, and the adapter automatically detects the type of gauge it is connected to. If the fluid-level reading on a connected Garmin chartplotter or marine instrument changes with the engine RPM, the adapter may be detecting the wrong type of gauge.
  • Page 7 To configure the fluid type if the menu option is not displayed: You can indicate the type of fluid that is in the tank that each GFL 10 adapter is associated with. 1. From the NMEA 2000 Devices list, select the GFL 10 device.

  • Page 8: Restoring Factory Default Settings

    Restoring Factory Default Settings When you restore factory default settings, you will lose all custom configuration settings except fluid-level calibration. 1. From the NMEA 2000 Devices list, select the GFL 10 device. 2. Select an option: • For most Garmin chartplotters, select •...
