Setup Mode

Tachometer  settings  and  the  fuel  level 

sender  type  can  be  changed  using  the 

Setup  Mode  (see  Figure  2,  Table  1,  and 

Table 2). Use this option only if you have 

reason  to  believe  that  your  settings  are 

wrong. Setting an incorrect value in these 

menus  can  result  in  extremely  inaccurate 

performance  of  the  tachometer  and  fuel 

level sender.

To access the Setup Mode, press and hold 

both the “Up” and “Down” buttons while 

turning on the instrument. 

The display will shows,

  Briefly  pressing  the  “Mode”  button  will 

cycle through the menu items. 

The “Up” and “Down” buttons are used to 

modify the settings.

The  microprocessor  will  automatically 

record  the  new  settings  as  you  change 

them.

of  fuel  in  the  fuel  tank  in  percent  of  full 

(PC).  The  indication  is  based  on  the  fuel 

level sender in the tank and operates 

similarly to a normal fuel gauge. There are 

no adjustments to this reading.

Note:  For  proper  operation  no 

additional fuel gauges may be connected 

to the fuel level sender.

Other Features

The  Commander  can    have  special 

features programmed in it at the Factory. 

1) Fuel Management which includes, Fuel 

Flow,  Fuel  Used,  Total  Fuel  Used,  and 

Fuel Remaining.

2) Ambient Air and Water Temperature.

This  manual  covers  both.  Refer  to  your 

boats  owners  manual  for  which  feature 

have been installed.
