Note:
To calibrate multiple engines repeat the steps above, one
engine at a time. Alternatively, run all engines simultaneously,
and divide the
Actual amount used
by the number of engines. This
assumes reasonably even fuel consumption on all engines.
Ú
Note:
The
Calibrate
option is only available when
Set to full
is
selected, and a Fuel Flow is connected and set up as a source.
Ú
Note:
A maximum of 8 engines is supported using Fuel Flow
sensors.
Fuel Level
With the use of a Navico Fluid Level device connected to a suitable
tank level sensor, it is possible to measure the amount of fuel
remaining in any equipped tank. The number of tanks must be set
in Vessel Setup dialog, initiated from the Fuel setting options page,
to allow discrete tank assignment of the Fluid Level devices.
