Helmsman™

 

One of the major concerns today for boat manufactures is how to reduce cost and still keep the functions their buyers have come to expect.

That is exactly why the Helmsman was developed. The Helmsman constantly monitors over 40 functions from the ECU and provides a means for a visual display in text format of those engine codes. Whether they be normal or diagnostic in nature.

The Helmsman provides a single wire connection from the box to the instrument panel. This minimizes the size, weight and complexity of the electrical harness. Up in the dash panel the Helmsman communicates with the Faria gauges via a "Faria" Bus protocol. A single pair of twisted wires daisy chains the gauges together with quick connect waterproof connectors.

An intelligent stepper motor driven instrument provides accurate analog style display with an easy to read digital read out of engine functions. Connect up to six discreet gauges to complete your dash.

The Helmsman interfaces with Analog, Digital and Mechanical function through out your vehicle. Including;

 
    Features:
  • Easily connects to all engine bus protocols
  • Reduces Harness weight
  • Engine Diagnostic Codes displayed
  • Audible and visual alarms
  • Displays a variety of functions dependent on engine protocol, such as Fuel Management, Air and Water Temperatures and engine functions

  • Utilizes both analog and digital inputs to reduce cost
  • Multiple 5-inch, 4-insch and 2-inch instrument and dash options in Faria Standard series

    This system offers easy installation via a single wire connection and waterproof connectors from engine ECU to instruments.
