GFL 10 Installation and Configuration Instructions
®
Use the Garmin GFL 10 adapter to adapt analog information provided by a fluid-level sensor
®
on your boat to your NMEA 2000 network. The GFL 10 adapter allows you to observe
fluid-level information on compatible Garmin display devices connected to your NMEA 2000
network. For a list of compatible Garmin chartplotters and devices, visit www.garmin.com.

Determining an Installation Location When you are selecting a location to install the GFL 10 adapter, consider the following: • During installation, you connect the GFL 10 adapter to the analog gauge (or directly to the fluid-level sensor), and to the NMEA 2000 network. Therefore: ◦ Choose a location that is within 173 in. (4.4 m) of the analog gauge (or the fluid-level sensor) to avoid splicing bare wires. ◦ Choose a location between the NMEA 2000 backbone and the analog gauge (or the fluid-

Troubleshooting the Gauge Type When connected to a gauge, the GFL 10 adapter gauge type is set to auto Detect by default, and the adapter automatically detects the type of gauge it is connected to. If the fluid-level reading on a connected Garmin chartplotter or marine instrument changes with the engine RPM, the adapter may be detecting the wrong type of gauge. note: The fuel level changes when the boat is moving. Test the gauge-type setting when the boat is not moving. To test the gauge-typ
