NMEA 2000-Certified Sensor Configuration Information 1. From the NMEA 2000 Devices list, select the GET 10 device. 2. Select an option: • For most Garmin chartplotters, select Review > Engine Number. • For other Garmin marine devices, select Config > Engine Number. 3. Select the number of the engine that the adapter is associated with. 4. Select Done. Troubleshooting the Gauge Type When connected to a gauge, the GET 10 adapter gauge type is set to Auto Detect by default, and the adapter automatically detects the type of gauge it is connected to. If the engine-tilt reading on a connected Garmin chartplotter or marine instrument changes with the engine RPM, the adapter may be detecting the wrong type of gauge. To test the gauge-type setting: 1. When the boat is not moving, put the engine in neutral. 2. Use the throttle to increase the engine RPM. If the engine-tilt reading changes with the engine RPM, change the gauge type. To change the gauge type: 1. From the NMEA 2000 Devices list, select the GET 10 device. 2. Select an option: • For most Garmin chartplotters, select Review > Gauge Type. • For other Garmin marine devices, select Config > Gauge Type. 3. Select an option: • To automatically detect the gauge type, select Auto Detect. • To indicate a one-coil gauge, select 1 Coil. • To indicate a two-coil gauge, select 2 Coil. 4. Perform the gauge-type setting test. Configuring the GET 10 Adapter if the Engine Tilt Calibration, Engine Number, and Gauge Type Selections Are Not Displayed Depending on the version of software loaded on your Garmin marine instrument, the specific configuration options may not be displayed on the configuration screens. To calibrate the engine tilt if the menu option is not displayed: To use the GET 10 adapter, you must calibrate the tilt of the engine that the adapter is associated with. 1. Turn the boat ignition key to the On position (not Start). 2. From the NMEA 2000 Devices list, select the GET 10 device. 3. Select an option: • For most Garmin chartplotters, select Review > Generic Config. • For other Garmin marine devices, select Config >Generic Configuration. 4. Set the engine tilt to the full-up position. The engine tilt is at 100%. 5. Enter the following command: "ENGINETILT=100Done" 6. Set the engine tilt to the full-down position. The engine tilt is at 0%. 7. Enter the following command: "ENGINETILT=0Done" To configure the engine number if the menu option is not displayed: If your boat has multiple engines, you can indicate which engine each GET 10 adapter is associated with. 1. From the NMEA 2000 Devices list, select the GET 10 device. 2. Select an option: 28 Technical Reference for Garmin NMEA 2000 Products
