[CA] [CA11] I70s and fuel burn

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

nharrison5,

Please note that the i70/i70S MFIDs and MFDs do not share fuel management data. Instead, the latest software for the i70/i70S MFIDs (v3.16, possibly installed as a result of installing the latest LH3 software within the MFD) now features its own fuel management feature, which must be configured on each i70S MFID (i.e. this data is not shared among i70/i70S MFIDs). In contrast, fuel rate for each engine is simply a data item transmitted to the SeaTalkng/NMEA 2000 backbone via the engine gateways. The MFD LH3 data item Fuel Flow (P), Fuel Flow (S),etc. should report fuel flow rate for each respective engine. In contrast, the Engine 1/Engine 2 data groups for the i70/i70S MFDs do not include fuel flow data items. The Fuel data group for the i70/i70S MFIDs is not designed provide fuel flow rate for individual engines. Instead, the i70/i70S MFIDs are designed to report the Fuel Flow Rate Total data item ... which would be expected to report the sum of the fuel flow rates for the vessel's engines.

Are you reporting that the Fuel Flow (P) or Fuel Flow (S) displayed within the Dashboard of the MFD running LH3 V3.10.39 are reported a summed fuel flow rate?
