NMEA 2000® Connections

The NMEA 2000

connectors are round five-pin male connectors and can be found on the bottom of

the CLMD16 enclosure labeled "J4 / CAN-A" and "J5 / CAN-B". See these connectors in Figure 4.

These connectors are known as DeviceNet micro connectors. Connect the CLMD16 to a NMEA

2000

network using a Maretron NMEA 2000

cable (or compatible cable) by connecting the female

end of the cable to the one of the male NMEA 2000

connectors on the CLMD16 (note the key on

the male connector and keyway on the female connector). Be sure the cable is connected securely

and that the collar on the cable connector is tightened firmly. Connect the other end of the cable

(male) to the NMEA 2000

network in the same manner. The CLMD16 is designed such that you

can plug or unplug it from an NMEA 2000

network while the power to the network is connected or

disconnected. Please follow recommended practices for installing NMEA 2000

network products.

NOTE: It is only necessary to connect one of the NMEA 2000

connectors to a network. Two

connections are included for use where two parallel networks are run side by side. If only one

network is used it is recommended to cap the secondary unused network connector.

NMEA 2000

connections can be made using pre-assembled leads or may be made using field

attachable connectors and cables (See: Figure 7).
