To connect the MPI®-2 to a personal watercraft equipped with a 717 or a 787 engine

1. Connect the MPI-2 Interface and DESS Post Interface between themselves. For safe contact in the connectors, we strongly recommend you to use thumb screws on the DB9 connector to allow for locking the connector to its mating half.

2. Connect one end (6-pin connector) of the DESS® adapter to DESS Post Interface.

3. Connect the MPI-2 Interface to USB port of your computer.

4. Launch B.U.D.S. and make sure that it detects the MPI.

5. Choose DESS protocol.

6. Connect the other end of the DESS adapter to the DESS post of the vehicle.

Note

Once the DESS adapter is inserted on the DESS post of the vehicle, the computer has approximately 30 seconds to initiate communication with the vehicle. If the computer did not detect the vehicle within this delay, then remove the DESS adapter from the DESS post of the vehicle and insert it again.
