Faria Serial Bus Installation and Wiring Guide (Evinrude® Engines)

The system consists of:

One Gateway box to interface with Evinrude ECM and external senders and sensors.

One 4” Tachometer with Fuel Monitor

One 4” Speedometer with Depth Sounder

Various 2” instruments, including but not limited to

Voltmeter

Oil Level gauge

Engine Temperature gauge

Fuel Level gauge

Trim gauge

Engine Water Pressure gauge

others as specified.

Installation

Installation of the Faria Serial Bus system is accomplished as follows:

Gateway Box

The “gateway” box is the central unit of the system. As all of the senders and other information source peripherals connect to the “gateway”, the “gateway” box should be mounted in a protected area in the best location to provide the maximum cabling benefit.

The “gateway” box power cable must be installed to allow connection to “battery positive” (always on), “battery negative” (ground), and a source of “switched power” which turns on with the engine ignition switch (see Figure 1 and Table 1).

The “Faria Bus” cable must be routed from the “gateway” box to the instrument panel area to connect the instruments to the data bus and instrument power (see Figure 2).

The remainder of the connections to the “gateway” box are described below.

Instruments

The instruments are mounted using the provided back-clamps and mounting hardware. Each instrument comes with a bus connection cable (12”). The main “Faria Bus” cable from the “gateway” box is connected to the most convenient instrument using either of the two four (4) pin connectors provided on the instrument case (*except when a Faria Serial Bus Pilot or a Faria Speedometer-PerfectPass Cruise instrument is installed, see note below).

Each additional instrument is connected to the previous instrument using one of the 12” bus connection cables. The cable may be connected to either of the two connectors provided on the instrument case (see Figure 2).

*NOTE: The Faria Serial Bus Pilot and the Faria Speedometer-PerfectPass Cruise instruments are “end of the bus” instruments. Only the provided four (4) pin connector is to be connected to the “Faria Bus”. See special instructions for use of the six (6) pin connector on these instruments.
