GFL 10 Installation and Configuration Instructions



Configuring the NMEA 2000 Tank Capacity

You can indicate the capacity of the fluid tank that the GFL 10 adapter is associated with.

1. From the NMEA 2000 Devices list, select the GFL 10 device.
2. Select an option:

For most Garmin chartplotters, select

>

N2K Tank Capacity

.

For other Garmin marine devices, select

Config

>

.

3. Select the tank capacity.
4. Select

Done

.

Calibrating the Fluid Level

To use the GFL 10 adapter, you must calibrate the fluid level of the tank that the adapter is

associated with, using a minimum of two calibration points. The greater the number of fluid

calibration points, the greater the accuracy of the reading on the fluid-level gauge.

1. Turn the boat ignition key to the On position (not Start).
2. From the NMEA 2000 Devices list, select the GFL 10 device.
3. Select an option:

For most Garmin chartplotters, select

10. Repeat steps 6 through 9 to add additional, optional fluid-level calibration points.

Troubleshooting the Tank Number

If multiple GFL 10 adapters are assigned to the same NMEA 2000 fluid type, each adapter is

assigned a unique tank number automatically. If the “Invalid NMEA 2000 tank configuration”

error message appears, you must assign a unique tank number to each adapter.
For example, if two adapters are assigned the NMEA 2000 fluid type value of Live Well and the

error message appears, you must assign each adapter a unique tank number.

1. From the NMEA 2000 Devices list, select the GFL 10 device.
2. Select an option:
