Introduction
The Outboard Gateway (hereinafter Gateway or Device) is designed for petrol
engines without digital interfaces, and provides NMEA 2000 equipment with engine
revolutions (RPM), alternator voltage (measured at the NMEA 2000 interface) and
engine hours. It can also be programmed to use data from NMEA 2000 temperature
or pressure sensors and send these data as coolant and oil pressure or temperature,
boost or fuel pressure.
To connect the Gateway, you only need to connect it to the NMEA 2000 backbone,
make 3-5 turns of its wire around the spark plug wire, and affix the loops with tape.
In most cases, no additional settings are required, but you might need to set the RPM
divider according to the ignition system and type of your engine.
The Device can be programmed to issue high revolutions, high temperature and low
voltage warnings, and set the state of the charge indicator (displayed on MFD or NMEA
2000 display). If you have a single battery on your boat, the low voltage warning can
prevent the situation where a problem with the alternator or voltage regulator of your
engine is detected when the battery is already nearly dead.
The Gateway is equipped with a hidden button that allows changing the engine number
(0 - 3), RPM divider (from 0.5 to 8) and reseting the Device’s settings. These settings
are enough to install the Device.
To configure other settings, you need a PC gateway (from any manufacturer, including
our USB, Ethernet and Wi-Fi products) and software. The firmware of the Outboard
Gateway can only be updated from free CAN Log Viewer software (works on Microsoft
Windows, Linux and MacOS X) connected to NMEA 2000 with one of our NMEA
2000 gateways.
Thank you for purchasing our product and happy voyages!
