Fuel logging
You must ensure all fuel lls are recorded using the
fuel manager.
From the fuel manager page:
1. When lling the tanks until full select All tanks
full.
The estimated fuel remaining is reset to the value
of your fuel tanks capacity.
2. When only partially lling the tank make a note
of the volume of fuel added to the tank and then
select Add partial ll.
3. Enter the value noted earlier this will be added to
your current fuel remaining gure.
Note: It is recommended that you perform an ‘All
tanks full’ ll up as regularly as possible as partial
lls will cause a higher cumulative inaccuracy in
the provided calculations.
Setting the low fuel alarm
Using the fuel manager also allows you to set a low
fuel alarm which, if activated, is sounded when your
vessel’s remaining fuel falls to a specied value.
With the fuel manager turned on and set up correctly:
1. From the homescreen select Set-Up.
2. Select Alarms.
3. Select Fuel manager.
The low fuel alarm settings are displayed.
4. Select Low Fuel so that On is highlighted.
Selecting Low Fuel will turn the low fuel alarm
On or Off.
5. Select Fuel Level.
The fuel level numeric adjust control is displayed.
6. Adjust the fuel level to the required value.
The low fuel alarm will now be sounded when the
fuel remaining in the tank falls to the value specied.
Note: By default the low fuel alarm is switched off.
Resetting fuel used readings
You can reset the value of the fuel used this season
or fuel used this trip by following the steps below.
From the fuel manager page:
1. Select Reset against fuel used this season, or
2. Select Reset against fuel used this trip.
The value is set to zero after Reset has been
selected.
Note: Performing a Season reset automatically
resets the trip value.
Fuel range rings
The fuel range ring gives an estimated range that
can be reached with the estimated fuel remaining
on-board.
The fuel range ring can be displayed graphically in
the chart application and indicates an estimated
range that can be reached with the:
• Current rate of fuel consumption.
• Estimated fuel remaining on-board.
• Course remaining in a straight line.
• Current speed maintained.
Note:
The fuel range ring is an estimated range that can
be reached at the current rate of fuel consumption,
of the fuel onboard and based on a number of
external factors which could either extend or
shorten the projected range.
This estimate is based on data received from
external fuel management devices, or via the Fuel
Manager. It does not take into account prevailing
conditions such as tide, current, sea state, wind
etc.
You should not rely on the fuel range ring feature
for accurate voyage planning or in emergency and
safety critical situations.
