Features
The CAN P, CAN H, and NMEA lights will turn on when data is being transmitted through the Gateway.
NOTE: This manual covers the installation of CAN P only ‑ engine mounted module (single). The helm mount module will
default out of the box with CAN P and CAN H. CAN H is applicable to Dual, Triple, and Quad DTS engine applications. CAN
H must be turned off if issues with the analog tachometers are encountered on mechanical/non‑DTS products.
NOTE: VesselView Link and SmartCraft CONNECT cannot be used together on the same network. At the time of this
publication the two cannot be used together, cross compatibility function will be included in a future firmware update.

SmartCraft CONNECT Module—Single through Quad‑Engine

NOTE: The Connect module does not provide power for any device on the NMEA 2000 network. The NMEA 2000 network
will require its own power source. The NMEA 2000 network power input must have appropriate circuit protection for the
devices on the NMEA 2000 network.

On‑Engine Mounting Guidelines

Mounting Requirements
NOTE: The 10‑pin on‑engine terminator must be removed from the engine harness before installation of this module.
• The SmartCraft CONNECT module must be mounted in a location that allows for connection to the 10‑pin connector on
the engine harness. No additional 10‑pin harnessing may be used in the installation of this product.
• All routing must adhere to harness installation bend parameter specifications. The minimum bend radius of any portion of
the harness must be no less than 13 mm (0.5 in.).
• Two cable ties to secure the SmartCraft CONNECT module must be used to prevent unwanted movement during normal
operation of the propulsion package.
• The following locations must be avoided when installing the SmartCraft CONNECT module.
• Any location which can be exposed to water
• Any location that is subject to high heat during operation of the power package
• Near Ignition coils
• Near spark plug wires
• Near shift/throttle cables
• Where harnessing could contact belts
• Secured to fuel lines

Module Configuration
IMPORTANT: Module configuration must be completed by a Mercury authorized dealer or boatbuilder. The SmartCraft
Manager app is licensed to the dealer or boatbuilder.
IMPORTANT: For configuration of the SmartCraft CONNECT Module, a mobile device and a Wi‑Fi connection with access to
the internet is required.
IMPORTANT: If using a Garmin or Raymarine display, visit their website to make sure the display is running the latest
software available.

SCC-1 SMARTCRAFT CONNECT GATEWAY INSTALLATION MANUAL

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee
that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

RF Exposure Considerations
To comply with FCC and Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada RF exposure limits for general population /
uncontrolled exposure, the antenna must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20cm from all persons and
operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter, except in accordance with FCC multi‑transmitter product
procedures.
Pour se conformer aux limites d'exposition aux RF de la FCC et d'Industrie Canada pour la population générale / exposition
non contrôlée, l'antenne(s) utilisée pour ce transmetteur doit être installé pour fournir une distance de séparation d'au moins
20cm de toutes les personnes et fonctionnant conjointement avec une autre antenne ou émetteur, sauf en conformité avec
les procédures de produits multi‑ émetteur FCC.
