Oceanic SYSTEMS 3130 Nmea 2000 Fuel Sender To Resistive Output Adaptor

INTRODUCTION

• The Oceanic Systems NMEA2000® Fuel Sender to Resistive Output Adaptor is designed to convert the NMEA2000® Fuel Sender’s output to a 0-180Ohm (EU Standard) or 240-30Ohm (American Standard) resistive output. The adaptor is easily configured to identify up to 14 senders transmitting the fuel level.
• The Fuel Sender to Resistive Output Adaptor is robustly constructed to the IEC60945 Maritime Navigational and Radiocommunications Equipment Standard to ensure trouble free operation and high reliability. It is certified to the NMEA2000® network standard version 2 and attaches to the network by a single Micro-C plug. It draws less than 50mA from the network.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This Adaptor should only be installed by a person competent and experienced in working with electronic and electrical systems on boats. Before beginning work the battery should be disconnected to avoid the risk of a short circuit, a fire or an explosion. Before drilling any holes to mount any unit or run any cabling always make sure it is safe to do so.

LOCATION AND INSTALLATION

The Adaptor is water resistant but NOT waterproof. It is designed to be located in a dry and protected location in the cable run between the NMEA2000® network and the tank level sender. It does not need to be attached to any surface but should be restrained from free movement by means of cable ties to the rest of the cable run or similar.

WIRING

• Connect the device, using the Micro Drop Trunk Cable provided, to an available T-connector on the backbone. Ensure that both ends are mated securely and the retaining ring has been tightened correctly to ensure the junction is waterproof. Note that this cable length may be extended to a maximum of 6 metres by using micro drop cables.
• The wires from the ECU should be connected to the two terminals on the adaptor. The connection polarity is important, pay close attention to the labelling on the unit. The unit will not work correctly if the polarity is reversed.
• In Case of Incorrect Wiring
• If the unit is wired up incorrectly, such that the ECU wires have the incorrect polarity, the unit will not work correctly, signified by the
• Blue LED going solid blue, regardless of received PGN’s.
• ENSURE THAT NO OTHER CABLES ARE CONNECTED TO THE ADAPTOR.

SENDER NUMBER

• The 3130 Adaptor supports up to 14 independent senders. The adaptor is configured to identify the Sender number by means of the Sender Instance Switch as per the following table.

Sender

Instance

| Switch

Position

---|---
0| 0
1| 1
2| 2
3| 3
4| 4
5| 5
6| 6
7| 7
8| 8
9| 9
10| A
11| B
12| C
13| D

• The blue LED flashes only when the unit receives a PGN from a fuel sender with a matching instance number. If the fuel sender and adaptor instances do not match, there will be no communication, shown by the LED remaining off.

OUTPUT STANDARD CONFIGURATION

• The 3130 Fuel Sender to Resistive Output Adaptor has two output modes to choose from. EU STANDARD mode is the default setting and the AMERICAN STANDARD is the second option.
• The output standard can be changed using the sender instance switch by setting it to ‘E’ for European and ‘A’ for American, followed by placing a small magnet on the ‘Magnet’ position. The Blue LED will light for 2 seconds to indicate that the unit has registered the magnet. Then return the switch to its original position and the sender will receive messages as indicated by the blue LED flashing as described previously.
  Adaptor Resistance: Switch Position
  European 0 – 180: E
  American 240 – 30: A

• When the unit is in EU Mode, the blue LED flashes ONCE when the fluid level PGN (PGN127505) is received, the blue LED double flashes when in American mode.

CALIBRATION

The vessels ECU can be calibrated using the Sender Instance switch by setting it to ‘F’ for full calibration, and ‘E’ for empty calibration. The output resistance in these instances is decided by the standard (US/EU) in which the unit is currently set. Before calibration, set the unit to the desired operating standard.
