If (I think it is like that ?) you buy a new motor in 2016 it will be equipped with the new Multi Function Gauge and it will then be with pure digital with an extra digital output from the control unit to connect to a NMEA network.ДЄs it is on my engine now I only have one digital output from the controlunit and I need two - one for the Gauge and one for the NMEA The engine is originally equipped with the standard analog gauge but I made a deal with the dealer to switch to the new Multi Function Gauge when i bought the motor. The HDS can't see the Suzuki-engine without the interface-cable it sees 'something' in the devicelist (probably the gauge) but not an engine When connecting the digital output (without the interface-cable) to the gauge it turns on as it should - but then I don't have a plug for the interface-cable which should go to the HDS. The result is that the HDS see the Suzuki-engine through the interface, but the Gauge doesn't turn on I have just returned from the boat - i connected exactly as you said. We know that our way wil not damage anything.ДЇirst of all thanks for your great help here ! We know it will work if done that way, because we have all set up many using that approach. That is, with a proper, simple NMEA2000 network and have everything connected to the network.

I.e it breaks the rule of no direct connections between devices.Д«oth install the networks with C10 displays exaxtly the way I have outlined in my paper, and plan to continue to do it that way.Д«oth agree with my recommendation that you should disconnect it, and redo the installation as per my paper. Fuuny, one day I called them to ask about something that had me stumped and they referred to my own paper!! I should hit them up some $ for use of intellectual property!ДЄnyway, both said that the method in that diagram is inconsistent with established NMEA2000 networking protocols.

If you call Lowrance in Australia to ask about linking your Suzuki to Lowrance via NMeA2000, they send you a paper I wrote. He is more expert on me than linking Garmin gear to the Suzuki's, I am more expert than him linking Suzuki to Lowrance and Simrad. He and I together worked out most of this stuff since it really got going over here from about 2010, and have continued to share info and keep ourselves at the top of the knowledge tree on this stuff. I also spoke to my local Suzuki guy here in Australia. Ok, i can now confirm that one of the top Suzuki dealers in the US and one who I know for certain knows more about this stuff than almost any others hasnt seen that diagram or method you have used. The C10 will use the GPS data from the HDS in ots calculations, and the HDS will display engine data from the network. Both the C10 and the HDS can then share and display the engine data at the same time. Without access to GPS data it cant do those calculations. Where diagrams show a SMIs display, simply substitute the C10.Дoing it this way will give the C10 access to GPS data (and thus be able to give you mpg and other data such as distance to empty) from the HDS connected to the network. Then Create a simple NMEA2000 network and connect everything though it, then you will achieve what you want to.

Disconnect the C10 totally from how you've got it wired up now. I think it is best to start over again, fresh, with your installation. It is noted as the optional way to set up if you want to add other devices.Д¬an you confirm that in that diagram, the item labelled as #12 is the interface cable? I think it will be. If you look on the right hand side of that diagram, there is a section inside a dotted line that includes T pieces and a cable is shown connecting between the C10 and the group of T pieces. I don't think anyone sets it up as shown in that diagram, even Suzuki deakers! (Am just waiting some confirmation on that bit!)

Frankly, i would completely ignore it because the way it is set up is far more complicated and it means that you are not taking advantage of the C10's full capabilities.ДЄs i say, my initial advice from my Suzuki contacts is that the C10 is set up exactly as per the connection method I outlined in my papers on the sticky thread on this forum. I think this diagram has lead you up the wrong path. So, as a stand-alone gauge similar to an old analogue gauge. I think that the wiring diagram you posted earlier in this thread at post #4 is intended to be used when ONLY the C10 display is being used, nothing else networked. I am waiting for further confirmation from my contacts at Suzuki, but.

The problem is that I cant connect both the HDS and the gauge at the same time The problem is not the HDS - I can connect and see all data.
