3.Select the desired engine interface and press MENU. Highlight RESET, press MENU and a message will be displayed: Hit Menu to Rst Values.

4.Press MENU to reset all values to default settings.

NOTE:

By resetting values from the configuration menu, ONLY the device selected from the Bus Devices list will be set back to its defaults. When you Reset Values, the calibration and configuration settings of the device are set back to factory defaults.

Calibrating EP Sensors

The factory calibration settings for the EP-10 Fuel Flow, EP-15 Fluid Level and Suzuki Engine Interface should be adequate for the majority of applications, so calibration will not be necessary in most cases.

The default calibration for the EP-15 Fluid Level is just as accurate as standard fluid level gauges. If, however, the tank has an irregular shape or greater accuracy is needed, calibration is recommended.

The default calibration for the EP-10 Fuel Flow and Suzuki Engine Interface are adequate in most cases, but if Fuel Used readings are off by more than 3 percent, calibration is recommended.

EP-10 Fuel Flow Calibration

The default calibration for an EP-10 Fuel Flow is adequate in most cases, but if fuel used readings are off by more than 3 percent, calibration is recommended.

Fuel Flow Accuracy

To check fuel flow accuracy, add the Fuel Manager page or any of the digital gauge pages to the page screen rotation, then customize the selected page with Fuel Used data. To see instructions on how to Add Pages and Customize Pages, refer to the Operation Section.

NOTE:

Make sure the fuel flow has been set as the Fuel Remaining Source, otherwise, you will not be able to calibrate the fuel flow. See Fuel Remaining Source instructions on page 28.

After filling up your tank, take your vessel out on the water and burn at least five gallons of fuel. Be sure you run only ONE engine — the engine attached to your fuel flow.

Fill up your tank again, noting how much fuel you added to the tank. Compare that number to the Fuel Used figure displayed on the page you customized. If the amount of fuel you added to the tank and the fuel used figure are off by more than 3 percent, we recommend the fuel flow be calibrated.
