Oceanic Systems J1939 to NMEA2000 Adapter

INTRODUCTION

The Oceanic Systems NMEA2000® 3185, J1939 to NMEA2000® Adaptor is designed to convert Engine, Transmission and Generator messages on the J1939 network onto the NMEA2000® network.
This unit is designed to operate in a protected marine environment such as an engine room. It is very important that it is installed and set up correctly according to this manual. Please read and follow the installation and setup instructions carefully to achieve the best results.

Product Features

The 3185, J1939 to NMEA2000® Adaptor has the following features:

  • Connection to J1939 network using a 3 pole Wago cage clamp connector
  • Green LED confirming valid J1939 message reception.
  • NMEA2000® micro C interface plug
  • User Settable a NMEA2000® Device Instance using rotary switch
  • Blue LED confirming NMEA2000® transmission
  • NMEA2000® Interface optically isolated from J1939
  • Power drawn only from NMEA2000® interface
  • Panel or DIN rail mounting option

NOTE:
FOR SAFETY REASONS THIS UNIT DOES NOT HAVE THE CAPABILITY OF TRANSMITTING ANY MESSAGES ONTO THE J1939 NETWORK.

Unpacking the box

You should find the following items in the 3185 shipping box:

  • 1 x 3185 J1939 to NMEA2000® Adaptor
  • 1 x Din Rail mounting Kit with 2 rail mounts and 4 countersunk M3 screws for rails
  • 1 x 3185 User Manual (This document)
Mounting the unit

The unit can either be mounted to a flat surface using 4 mounting screws. The unit dimensions and mounting hole locations are shown on the following drawing

Or the unit can be Din Rails mounted by attaching the Din Rail mounts to the case using the supplied M3 CSK screws and then clipping the unit to the Din Rail

Connecting the NMEA2000® Cab

The unit is connected to the NMEA2000® network by the 5 way micro C socket on the front.
Carefully attach the network drop cable to this plug and hand tighten until it it is fully seated.
Take care to match the orientation of the pip inside the socket to the recess inside the drop cable plug. The other end of the drop cable should be connected to a suitable Tee connector on the NMEA2000® network backbone cable.

Connecting the J1939 cable to the WAGO socket

The cables from the power-source to the external sockets are connected using the WAGO Cage
Clamp terminal block. The wire should be stripped for 8mm and then the cage clamp opened with a small screwdriver in the slot above the wire connection. Then simply insert the wire into it’s connection slot and release the cage clamp by removing the small screw driver. This will produce a secure gas tight connection on wire sizes from 0.08 – 1.5 mm²

J1939 Connections

The terminal connections are numbered as follows:

Terminal 1 CAN H (HIGH-level J1939 CAN bus line)
Terminal 2 Ground
Terminal 3 CAN L (LOW-level J1939 CAN bus line)

These are marked on the unit case.

CONFIGURATION

The following two items can be configured directly on the 3185 using the two small rotary switches. There are no other menu setups to worry about.

NMEA2000® Device Instance

Each 3185 J1939 to NMEA2000® Adaptor connected to the NMEA2000® network needs to have a unique Device Instance Address. The Device Instance of each unit is set by turning the small rotary switch with a small screw driver. Valid Device Instances range from “0” through to “F”.
