Engine instancing and setup
Before you can display engine data on your MFD, setup and "instancing" may be required.
Note: Engine setup and instancing is NOT required for single engine vessels.
Most engine data configurations can be setup using the "Engine Identification" wizard available on Raymarine MFDs running
LightHouse software version 8 or later. However, for some multiple engine installations, it may be necessary to first have your
engines "instanced" correctly by your engine representative / dealer (assigned a unique ID / address).
The following table details the different types of engine supported, and the setup requirements for each:
Engine CAN bus
protocol Number of engines
NMEA 2000 1
NMEA 2000 2+
NMEA 2000 2+
J1939 1
J1939 2+
J1939 2+
Using the engine identification wizard
If your engine data appears in the wrong order on the engine
data pages you can correct this by running the engine
identification wizard.
From the Homescreen:
1. Select Set-up > System Settings > External Devices >
Engines Set-up.
2. If required change the number of engines your vessel has
by selecting Num. of Engines: and entering the correct
number of engines.
You can select up to 5 engines.
3. Select Identify engines.
Important: It is important that only one engine is running at a
time, to ensure that the system can isolate the correct engine
data message.
4. Follow the onscreen prompts to complete the engine
identification wizard.
The engines that will be included in the identification wizard
are determined by the Number of engines set during step
2 above.
i. Switch Off ALL vessel engines and select Next.
The wizard will run through all engines (max of 5 as
defined in step 2 above) from port to starboard in
sequence.
ii. Turn On the port engine and select OK.
The wizard will now listen for data and assign the engine
instance as the port engine.
iii. Turn On the center port engine and select OK.
The wizard will now listen for data and assign the engine
instance as the center port engine.
iv. Turn On the center engine and select OK.
The wizard will now listen for data and assign the engine
instance as the center engine.
v. Turn On the center starboard engine and select OK.
The wizard will now listen for data and assign the engine
instance as the center starboard engine.
vi. Turn On the starboard engine and select OK.
The wizard will now listen for data and assign the engine
instance as the starboard engine.
5. Select OK on the Identify Engines confirmation dialog.
The engines will now appear in the correct location on the
engine data page.
