Oceanic SYSTEMS NMEA 2000 AC Monitor

Revision 1.00

1 INTRODUCTION

The Oceanic Systems NMEA2000® 3420 AC Monitor is designed to monitor any AC source including single-phase (phase A), two-phase (phase A, B), three-phase (phase A, B, C) and split-phase (phase A, B). 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.

2 INSTALLATION
2.1 UNPACKING THE BOX

You will find the following items in the shipping box:
1 x 3420 AC Monitor
1 x 3420 User Manual (This document)
1 x 3423 200 Amp AC Current Transformer
1 x Deutsch Connector and Crimps Pack

2.2 MOUNTING THE UNIT

The unit should be mounted to a flat surface using 4 M4 mounting screws. The unit dimensions and mounting hole locations are shown on the following drawing.

MOUNTING 2

Note: Whilst the unit is designed to be water resistant, it should be mounted away from sources of condensation and moisture

2.3 CONNECTING THE NMEA2000® CABLE

The unit is connected to the NMEA2000® network by the 5-way micro-C socket on the front. Carefully attach the plug of the network drop cable to this socket and tighten by hand until 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.

2.4 CONNECTING THE VOLTAGE & CURRENT TRANSFORMER INPUT CABLES TO THE

DEUTSCH CONNECTOR

WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
This device contains potentially hazardous voltages. Ensure that power is removed from all AC circuits that will be connected to the AC monitor. Do not attempt to disassemble the device. This device contains no user serviceable parts. Connecting the AC monitor must be performed by QUALIFIED ELECTRICAL ENGINEER ONLY.

The cables from the power-source are connected to the AC Monitor using a DT15-12PA Deutsch Connector. Each wire should be stripped and crimped with matching socket crimps (PN: 5099 Male Deutsch Adaptor Kit). Connections to a mating Deutsch socket housing should be made as in the following table:

3 CONFIGURATION

Before using the 3420 for the first time, it needs to be configured with a suitable Oceanic Systems Display Unit, or our Monex PC Software. The 3420 can be pre-configured when ordering direct from Oceanic Systems -­ please state the required mode and instance when purchasing. The following items can be configured on the 3420:
Attributing the device can be configured using the xxxx configurement unit. Which can then be connected to the interface. Please contact Oceanic Systems for further details

3.1 NMEA DEVICE INSTANCE

You can select a unique device instance up to 254. The data instance will match the device instance. Data instances and device instances must be unique on a network to avoid data conflicts.

3.2 DEVICE CIRCUIT TYPE

The 3420 AC Monitor can be configured to operate in 1 of 4 modes.

Phase Mode AC Circuit Type
1 Single Phase
2 Two Phase
3 Three Phase
4 Split Phase
