To calibrate an EP-10 Fuel Flow:

10.If calibration is necessary, press MENUMENU, select NMEA 2000 and press ENT.

11.Highlight FUEL MANAGEMENT and press ENT.

12.Select TANK LOCATION and press ENT to choose the location of the tank connected to selected fuel flow. Press ENT.

13.Highlight FILL TANK and press ENT. The following message will ap- pear: Are you sure you wish to Fill Tank? Select YES and press ENT.

14.The following message will appear: Do you wish to re-calibrate the device? Select YES and press ENT.

15.Repeat these steps for each EP-10 Fuel Flow you want to calibrate.

To Reset Calibration:

1.Press MENUMENU, select NMEA 2000 and press ENT.

2.Highlight FUEL MANAGEMENT and press ENT.

3.Highlight ENGINE SELECT and press ENT. The Engine Select menu will appear with up to four options: All Engines, Port, Center and Star- board. Selecting All Engines will reset calibration for all engines back to factory defaults.

4.Select All Engines or the engine connected to the desired device and press ENT.

5.Highlight RESET CALIBRATION and press ENT. The following message will appear: Are you sure you wish to Reset Calibration?

6.Highlight YES and press ENT. Press EXIT repeatedly to get back to the main display.

EP-15 Fluid Level Calibration

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. There are three calibration options: 2-Point, 3-Point and 5-Point.

2-Point Calibration

A2-point calibration is best suited for rectangular or square-shaped tanks, where the capacity of the top half of the tank matches the capac- ity in the lower half of the tank. In a two-point calibration, you will set two points, one each for empty and full levels. You can begin calibra- tion at either of the two points, but we recommend starting with an empty tank. You will fill the tank to complete calibration.

1. Press MENU MENU, use ↓ ↑ to select NMEA 2000 and press ENT.

2.Highlight BUS SETUP and press ENT, which will open the Bus Configu- ration menu. A list of network devices will be at the top of the page.
