To Reset Calibration:

1.Press MENU, use the UP and DOWN keys to select SYSTEM SETUP and press MENU.

2.Highlight B. DEVICES and press MENU. Select the fluid level you want to reset and press MENU.

3.Select RST CAL from the fluid level menu and press MENU. The following message will appear: Hit Menu to Rst the Cal.

4.Press MENU to set calibration back to factory default settings. To recalibrate the fuel flow, follow the steps in the previous segment regarding fuel flow calibration.

NOTE:

If you have calibrated your fluid level sensor and are having problems with the sensor's performance, be sure to check the sending unit. You can do this by using an ohm meter to test the resistance of the unit. Connect the sending unit hot wire (usually pink) and the ship or sending unit ground wire (usually black) to the ohm meter. With the tank full, the resistance should be around 33-1/2 ohms. When the tank is the empty, the resistance should be around 240 ohms. If, when the tank is full or empty, the ohm readings are significantly different from the standard full (33-1/2) and empty (240) ohms levels, there is a problem with the sending unit. If the ohm readings are the same in both cases, the sending unit is stuck.

Calibrating Fuel Flow in a Suzuki Engine Interface

The default fuel flow calibration for a Suzuki Engine Interface is adequate in most cases, but if fuel used readings are off by more than 3 percent, calibration is recommended.

Engine Interface 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 to show Fuel Used data. To see instructions on how to Add Pages and Customize Pages, refer to the Operation Section.

NOTE:

To see fuel remaining data from the Suzuki Engine Interface, you must change your Fuel Remaining Source to Eng/FFlow. 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 connected to the engine interface.
