Procedures
6Gimbal Mounted Installation installation
- If desired, the digital display can be gimbal mounted.
- Source gimbals from RAM Mounting Systems, Inc. at www.ram-mount.com.
- Use the RAM Diamond base with 9/16 in. ball, part number RAM-A-238, matching the display bolt pattern.
Install Remote Digital Display installation
- Select a dry location in the wheelhouse or bridge.
- Confirm wiring harness length and mounting depth and overall size.
- Use Figure 5 and Figure 6 for display mounting dimensions.
- For single display, connect the 6-pin plug end of the harness to connector B on the display.
- For multiple displays, connect the 6-pin plug end of the harness to an extension harness or Y-harness as needed.
- Connect the terminal ends of the harness to terminal strip TB12 inside the junction box.
- Do not exceed 91.4 m (300 ft.) CAN network length.
Install Terminating Resistor(s) installation
- Check CAN+ and CAN- at the terminal strip in the junction box for 120 ohms on the controller with controller powered down.
- If measuring 120 ohms, a terminating resistor already exists in the controller and no second resistor is needed at the controller.
- Place one 120 ohm terminating resistor at the furthest end from the controller.
- If using multiple extension harnesses, remove all other terminating resistors from the extension harnesses by disconnecting the cap.
- Place one 120 ohm terminating resistor at the controller end of the harness unless the controller has a built-in resistor.
- After everything is connected, verify 60 ohms on CAN+ and CAN-.
Installation Procedure installation
⚠ Accidental starting can cause severe injury or death. Disconnect battery cables before working on generator set; remove negative lead first and reconnect it last.
⚠ Do not cut or splice the harness; do not select a longer harness.
- Remove generator set from service: press OFF/RESET, disconnect battery charger, disconnect starting batteries negative lead first.
- Remove junction box cover/panels as needed to access controller wiring.
- Remove four controller panel screws and mark all disconnected controller leads with tape.
- Disconnect P1 35-pin, P2 14-pin, P3 8-pin, P4 Ethernet, and any other external controller leads.
- Remove controller; save mounting hardware and gasket.
- Place new controller gasket GM88990 and remote circuit board mounting panel GM96382 in controller opening; studs face into junction box.
- Secure remote circuit board mounting panel using existing hardware removed in step 2.4.
- Place two spacers X-712-13 on each of the eight studs on back of mounting panel.
- Place remote interconnect circuit board assembly GM96419 on eight studs and secure with hex nut X-70-12 at each stud.
- Connect existing engine harness connectors to back of remote interconnect circuit board assembly.
- Connect remote controller harness GM96428 to front of remote circuit board mounting panel.
- For 40-200EOZDJ/33-175EFOZDJ sound-shielded units, install sound shield panel GM95799, gasket GM88990, four screws, four washers, and bushing X-634-29; route harness through opening.
- Connect other end of controller harness to remote Decision-Maker 3500 controller, reusing existing controller gasket.
- Secure wiring with rubber grommets and cable ties; conform to USCG CFR Title 33 Parts 183.425 through 183.460.
- Replace removed panels; verify set OFF, reconnect battery negative lead last, reconnect battery charger, start and verify metering, then stop.
Remove Generator Set from Service maintenance
⚠ Accidental starting can cause severe injury or death. Disconnect the battery cables before working on the generator set.
- Press the generator set OFF/RESET button to shut down the generator set.
- Disconnect power to the battery charger, if equipped.
- Disconnect the generator set engine starting battery(ies), negative (-) lead first.
Restore Generator Set to Service maintenance
- Check that the generator set is OFF.
- Reconnect the generator set engine starting battery, negative (-) lead last.
- Reconnect power to the battery charger, if equipped.
