(i.e., engine gauge displays, key switches, throttle and shift controls, etc.) from working properly. You must have an understanding of J1939 data networks before attempting to install the J2K100. Maretron strongly recommends that you understand SAE documents J1939-11 and J1939-15 (see Section 3.1 of Appendix B) before attempting to install the J2K100 and that you consult the engine/genset manufacture for their recommendations before connecting anything to the J1939 network.

NMEA 2000 displays such as the Maretron DSM200 or DSM250. The Maretron J2K100 is designed to operate within the harsh demands of the marine environment. However, no piece of marine electronic equipment can function properly unless installed, configured, and maintained in the correct manner. Please read carefully and follow these instructions for installation, configuration, and usage of the Maretron J2K100 in order to ensure optimal performance.
1. The J2K100 is waterproof, so it can be mounted in a damp or dry location. 2. The orientation is not important, so the J2K100 can be mounted on a horizontal deck, vertical bulkhead, or even upside down if desired.
Maretron NMEA 2000 cable (or compatible cable) by connecting the female end of the cable to the J2K100 (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.
2.4.2 Connecting the J2K100 J1939 Interface Vertical text on the J2K100 label identifies the J1939 connector. With the label right side up, the J1939 connector can be found on the left side of the enclosure. In order to make the J1939 connection, you will need to locate the supplied female field attachable connector.
(1) for the starboard transmission. By default the J2K100 uses transmission instance zero (0). If you are installing the J2K100 on a single transmission vessel, then you don’t have to configure this parameter. However, if you install two J2K100s for dual transmission vessels, then you will need to configure the starboard transmission J2K100 to use transmission instance one (1).
® J2K100 using a Maretron DSM200 or DSM250 display or other NMEA 2000 display unit that is capable of configuring the J2K100. Please refer to the Maretron DSM200 User’s Manual or DSM250 User’s Manual, as appropriate, for details. 3 Maintenance Regular maintenance is important to ensure continued proper operation of the Maretron J2K100.
J2K100 will expose the sensitive electronic components to adverse environmental conditions that may render the unit inoperative. Please do not open the J2K100, as this will automatically void the warranty. If service is required, please return the unit to an authorized Maretron service location.

J2K100 User’s Manual 3 J1939 Network Basics ® Like an NMEA 2000 network, a J1939 network is based on Controller Area Network (CAN) technology. A CAN network consists of two or more nodes, and for J1939 networks, they usually include one or more engines and the corresponding engine displays. In addition to the nodes or electronic boxes, a CAN network consists of the cabling system, which is used to Ω...
4 Determining J1939 Network Type Before installing Maretron’s J2K100, it is imperative to understand the type of J1939 network you are dealing with, which may be one of the following: 1. Single Engine/Genset, No Existing J1939 Network 2.

After completing the physical connections, you will need to configure the J2K100 so it responds to the appropriate J1939 address. Most single engine installs have the J1939 address set to 0, but not always, so check with the engine manufacturer and use a Maretron ®...
