PITOT SENSOR – Select the PSI input of the Pitot water pressure sensor on the engine.
NOTE:The standard speed input on production Mercury engines is 100 PSI. Certain High Perfor-
mance applications may require a 200 Psi input.
PITOT MULT (Multiplier) – The pitot pressure sensor can be calibrated for correcting display readings
that read to high/low. Calculate the percentage that the speed is off and enter it into the menu window.
PADDLE FREQ – Frequency can be changed to match requirements of different sensors. 4.9 Hz per
mile or 5.7 Hz per knot is the frequency of the paddle wheel speed sensor provided by Mercury Marine.
TRANSITION SPD – Transition speed is the boat speed at which System View stops looking at the
paddle wheel and starts using the pitot or GPS (GPS is priority for high speed if connected) to mea-
sure boat speed. Default setting is 25 MPH. If desired, this transition speed can be changed.
TRANS SPD TOL (Transition Speed Tolerance) – Adjust for differences in sensor tolerances be-
tween the paddle wheel, GPS, and pitot. Default setting is 10 MPH.
INVERT STEERING – If steering angle displayed is opposite of the direction that it should, the signal
can be inverted so the steering angle can be displayed properly.
SHALLOW ALARM – The shallow water alarm can be set to sound a warning at a depth determined
by the user. Activate the shallow water alarm by inputting the desired depth into the menu box. The
depth range can be from 0.0 – 650.0 feet. Deactivate the shallow alarm by setting the shallow alarm to
“0”. For the alarm to operate, the alert horn setting will have to be activated. Refer to “Setting/Prefer-
ences” Menu Section 6
DEPTH ALARM – The deep water alarm can be set to sound a warning at a depth determined by the
user. Activate the depth alarm by inputting the desired depth into the menu box. The depth range can
be from 0.0 – 650.0 feet. Deactivate the depth alarm by setting the depth alarm to “0”. For the alarm to
operate, the alert horn setting will have to be activated. Refer to “Setting/Preferences” Menu Section 6
