Ballast/Smartplate Settings 

On the Main Menu screen, touch [Ballast/Smartplate Settings] 

to access the Ballast/Smartplate Settings screen. This screen 

provides default fill times for ballasts and default settings for the 

Smartplate. To edit, touch [Previous Setting] or [Next Setting] 

to access the edit points of the Ballast and Smartplate settings. 

With the cell highlighted, touch the [Up] or [Down] arrows to 

change the setting. NOTE: The [Crossover Point] defaults to 50% 

of your setspeed. This is the point at which the Smartplate will be 

automatically driven to the active profile setpoint. If no setpoint 

is active then the Smartplate will be driven to the [Smartplate 

Up]  setting  (default  50%). The  [Smartplate  Down]  setting 

(default 100%) is the position that the Smartplate is driven to 

below the crossover setting. Having the Smartplate deployed to 

100% when the boat is at rest and then automatically retracting 

to the Smartplate setpoint at the crossover is what helps the 

boat keep the bow down and on plain during acceleration.

If additional time is required to empty the Ballast tanks. Add 

percentage to the [Ballast Drain Time Adder] to increase the 

drain time. Or set the [Ballast Drain Time Adder] to 0% for no 

additional time.

The [Ballast Calibration] normally is not changed. The [Ballast 

Calibration] function recalibrates the ballast level displayed to 

read Full (100%) or Empty (0%). The Ballast display levels are 

based on time to level calculations. For example: The driver has 

filled the ballasts to Full and then installed a new version of 

software. This new version of software would default the Ballast 

Levels back to Empty (0%). Since the driver knows that the boat 

has Full ballasts, the driver can use this calibrate feature to set 

the display level to Full (100%).

Import Export Rider Profiles 

On the main Menu screen, touch [Import/Export Rider Profiles] 

to access the Import/Export Rider Profiles screen. This screen 

allows you to save a current rider profile list to a USB drive. In 

addition, you may import in Rider Profiles using a USB Drive.

Insert the USB drive and touch [Export] to save the current rider 

profile list to the USB drive.

In order to import in Rider Profiles, the file must be saved on 

the USB drive with the file name [profilelist.cvs].

PDM Diagnostics 

On the main Menu screen, touch [PDM Diagnostic] to access 

the PDM Diagnostics screen. The screen displays short circuits, 

open circuit, over current, in/out of range, and faults within 

the system outputs, switch inputs, analog inputs, and CAN 

communication.
