INTRODUCTION The Oceanic Systems 5720 Flow Adaptor Module is designed to report fuel flow and usage over the NMEA 2000 (tm) network using positive displacement flow meters. These high accuracy sensors connect directly to the 5720 using IP68 rated standard Deutsch connectors (mating connector kit available separately as p/n 5099).
INSTALLATION 2.1 UNPACKING THE BOX You will find the following items in the 5270 shipping box: 1 x 5720 NMEA2000® Fluid Flow Adaptor Module 1 x 5720 User Manual (This document) 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.
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.
The following items can be configured on the 5720 3.1 DEVICE INSTANCE It is possible to install 127 5720 Fluid Flow monitors on a NMEA2000® network. This value must be set to give each a unique address. 3.2 OUTWARD FLOW ENGINE INSTANCE The flow rate from the flowmeter connected to terminals 1 to 6 of the Deutsch Connector are reported on PGN 127489 (Engine Parameters, Dynamic) with this instance.
OPERATION The 5720 Fluid Flow Adaptor is powered from the NMEA2000® network and transmits data from the flow sensors using the PGNs detailed in the Technical Specifications section. The LED on the front of the unit flashes blue every second to indicate normal operation or red to indicate an error condition.
