Fuel level
EVC-C.makes.it.easy.to.install.the.fuel.level.indica-
tion..All.you.need.is.a.fuel.level.sensor.in.the.fuel.tank.
and.a.fuel.level.gauge.or.a.display.at.the.helm..If.a.
fuel.level.gauge.is.used.it.must.be.connected.to.the.
instrument.serial.communication.bus..The.PCU–en-
gine.cable.harness.has.an.input.for.the.fuel.level.
sender..
The.system.has.a."Multipoint.setting".facility.with.a.
possibility.of.setting.fuel.level.in.six.steps.depending.
on.the.fuel.tank.shape.

Fresh water level
EVC.makes.it.easy.to.install.the.water.level.indica-
tion..All.you.need.is.a.level.sensor,.3–180.ohm,.in.the.
water.tank.and.a.level.gauge.at.the.helm..If.a.water.
level.gauge.is.used.it.must.be.connected.to.the.in-
strument.serial.communication.bus..The.PCU–engine.

Rudder indicator
To.install.a.rudder.indicator.you.need.a.sensor,.
3–180.ohm,.at.the.rudder.and.a.gauge.or.a.display.at.
the.helm..The.gauge.shall.be.connected.to.the.instru-

Volvo Penta Lowspeed function D4, D6, D9, D12
Boats.with.powerful.engines.can.be.difficult.to.ma-
neuver.in.narrow.waters.since.the.boat.speed.is.high.
even.at.idling.speed..This.problem.is.minimised.us-
ing.Volvo.Penta.Lowspeed.functionality..EVC.system.
controls.the.reverse.gear.to.slip.hydraulically.so.that.
lower.boat.speed.can.be.achieved.
The.gear.slip.can.be.implemented.by.means.of.a.
separate.trolling.valve.or.by.controlling.primary.or.
secondary.solenoids,.depending.on.type.of.reverse.
gear..The.reverse.gear.also.has.to.be.equipped.with.
an.rpm.sensor.and.a.tooth.wheel.on.the.output.shaft.
as.well.as.an.oil.pressure/oil.temperature.sensor..
Volvo Penta trolling function, D9, D12
The.EVC.system.controls.the.reverse.gear.to.slip.hy-
draulically.so.that.lower.boat.speed.can.be.achieved.
with.maintained.engine.rpm..The.gear.slip.is.imple-
mented.by.means.of.a.separate.trolling.valve..The.
reverse.gear.also.has.to.be.equipped.with.an.rpm.
sensor.and.a.tooth.wheel.on.the.output.shaft.as.well.
as.an.oil.pressure/oil.temperature.sensor..Default.
trolling.slip.is.70%..Max.slip.is.80%.but.suitable.slip.is.
dependent.on.each.installation..Slip.can.be.set.from.
10%.up.to.80%.by.using.the.VODIA.tool.
NMEA support
The.EVC.system.supports.NMEA.0183.or.NMEA.
2000.by.means.of.hardware.interfaces.
Boat speed, echo sounder and water temp
(Multisensor)
The.multisensor.is.connected.to.the.multilink.cable..
Data.from.the.multisensor.are.shown.in.the.tachom-
eter.or.the.EVC.system.display.and.the.speedometer.
instrument.
4–20 mA interfaces
The.EVC.system.supports.different.control.systems.
from.the.aftermarket.that.support.4–20.mA.by.means.
of.input.or.output.interfaces..No.calibration.is.needed.
