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.
Trip computer
EVC supports trip computer functions if following are
installed.
- multisensor or NMEA 0183/NMEA 2000 compat-
ible component (plotter, GPS, paddle wheel etc)
- fuel level sender
- software for trip computer. Order and download
from VODIA website.
Trip computer information can be displayed on the
EVC system tachometer or/and on the optional EVC
system display.
Trip data: Fuel rate, fuel consumption, fuel consump-
tion/time, trip fuel consumtion, trip fuel consumption/
time, remaining fuel, trip hours, trip distance, remain-
ing distance to empty tank, remaining time until tank
is empty.
NOTE! If no trip computer software is installed, only
fuel volume will be presented in the EVC system ta-
chometer.
EVC system display: Fuel rate will be shown in the
"Engine data window".
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
cable harness has an input for the fresh water level
sender.
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-
ment serial communication bus. The PCU–engine
cable harness has an input for the rudder sender.
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.
