Fuel Setup; Vessel Setup - Lowrance HDS-7 HDS Gen3 Installation Manual

Fuel setup

The fuel utility monitors the vessel's fuel consumption. This
information is totalled to indicate trip and seasonal fuel usage.
Instantaneous fuel usage and boat speed data is used to calculate
fuel economy for display on instrument pages and data overlays.
To use the utility, a Navico Fuel Flow sensor or a NMEA 2000 engine
adaptor cable/gateway with Navico Fuel Data Storage device must
be fi tted to the vessel. Neither the Navico Fuel Flow sensor, nor the
Suzuki engine interface require the use of a seperate Fuel Storage
device. Refer to the engine manufacturer or dealer for information
on whether or not your engine provides a data output, and what
adaptor is available to connect to NMEA 2000.
Once physical connection is made, ensure source selection is
completed. Multiple engine installations using Fuel Flow sensors,
or Fuel Data Storage devices, will require setup of related engine
location in the device list. For general source selection information
refer to "Source selection" on page 31.
 Note:
Multiple engines utilizing a single gateway will not work with
the Navico Fuel Storage device.

Vessel setup

This dialog must be used
to select the number of
engines, the number of
tanks and vessel's total fuel
capacity across all tanks.

and set 'Location' to match the engine the device is connected to.
