Installation
In the box
You should find the following items in the 5985 shipping box:
1 x 5985 DMX to NMEA Adaptor
1 x NMEA2000 drop cable
1 x 5985 User Manual (This document)
Mounting the Unit
The unit is designed to be cable tied either onto a suitable location or into the main cable harness.
Connecting the NMEA2000® Cable
The NMEA2000® interface cable should be connected to a nearby NMEA2000® Tee connector (part number 3802). The male end of the cable should be inserted into the female Tee connection noting the position of the keyway in the plug and the socket. Ensure that the locking ring is securely tightened so that the connection remains waterproof and sound.
Connecting the DMX512 Interface
Connect the A,B and GND of the DMX cabling in place of any other DMX controller. Refer to the below image for the connection scheme.
Maintenance
- Clean the unit with a soft cloth
- Do not use chemical cleaners as they may remove paint or markings or may corrode the enclosure or seals
- Ensure that the unit is mounted securely and cannot be moved relative to the mounting surface. If the unit is loose, tighten the mounting screws
- Check the security of the cables connected to the NMEA 2000 connector, tighten if necessary
- Check the security of the cables connected to the Spade connectors, ensuring a tight fit
