C/CW PANEL - NMEA 2000 MODULE
Beta Marine & Actisense have developed an interconnection module to facilitate an interface that will connect a Beta Marine C or CW engine control panel with an NMEA 2000 network. This module simply “T� connects between an engine and engine control panel & converts information to a NMEA 2000 network friendly format.
The interconnection module uses a standard Micro-C connection to allow data to be relayed and viewed all across your NMEA 2000 on-board network. On vessels with twin engine installations it is possible to re-configure your NMEA 2000 network software to facilitate dual or independent viewing on network devices.
Which enables you to digitally monitor engine RPM, engine temperature, oil pressure or voltmeter reading from your NMEA 2000 control panel.

C/CW PANEL - NMEA 2000 MODULE INSTALLATION
CONTROL PANELS
IMPORTANT!
Control modules are supplied as standard with a 3m multi-core cable for connection to the engine wiring loom. Extension looms of 5m or more are available should your installation require it or you wish to relocate your existing panel/s, all looms include a start relay to overcome the voltage drop.
The control panel must be installed in a location where the helmsman can either see or hear the alarm system. The location should also provide adequate protection from adverse temperature, moisture and vibration. If vulnerable a suitable protective cover should be installed.
WARNING!
Ensure there is adequate clearance behind the panel so connection block/s and wiring is not at risk of being crushed.
When working on control panel electrical connections always isolate the engine starter battery.

CONNECTING INTERCONNECTION CABLES 1. All electrical equipment must be protected from water. To prevent corrosion and assist in connecting the cable to the control panel to the engine we recommend that the plug boots are packed with petroleum jelly (Vaseline).
3. All cables must be adequately clipped and protected from abrasion. 4. Electrical systems shall be designed and installed so as to ensure proper operation of the craft under normal conditions of use and shall be such as to minimise risk of fire and electric shock.
2. Carefully roll the 2 plastic protective boots back over themselves and then push the 2 plug sockets together, check all pins are fully engaged then use a cable tie to lock them together (A). Pack the protective plastic boots with petroleum jelly (Vaseline) then roll them back to cover the plug sockets and overlap one over the other. 2 cable ties should then be used to help prevent help prevent any ingression of water (B & C), please refer to the illustration below.

C/CW PANEL - PREPARING FOR NMEA 2000 MODULE CONNECTION
Following the connection of interconnection cables as detailed above, a standard Beta Marine C/CW panel must be additionally be prepared for NMEA 2000 module integration by piggybacking/splicing into the water temperature and oil pressure signal circuits.
The wire colour coded white/purple is clipped to the water temperature light
Piggyback/splice crimp terminal clip
This is done by unclipping 2 existing wires with single crimp terminals that are within the C/CW panel and installing 2 additional wires which have a piggyback/ splice terminal on them. Then reconnect the 2 original wires with single crimp terminals on to the newly available piggyback/splice terminal clips.

INITIAL ENGINE START UP
IMPORTANT! CHECKS PRIOR TO INITIAL START UP Re-Check: 1. Flexible mountings and engine room ventilation.
6. Control panel installation and connection.
2. Exhaust installation.
7. Fuel system is initially bleed.
3. The heat exchanger cooling circuit:
8. DC battery is fully charged and the isolator is switched to the ON position.
•
Open the sea-cock.
•
Check for any leakage.
9. Ensure the engine is free to turn without any obstruction.
4. The calorifier circuit (if installed) 5. Initial engine coolant levels. INITIAL ENGINE START UP POINTS If the engine has not started after 3 attempts, there is a possibility that air is still in the fuel system. Switch off the control panel and repeat “bleeding the fuel system”. Hand prime the engine with the fuel lift pump lever or button for 30 seconds, then re-attempt initial engine start up.
If the engine does not start after 3 attempts, do not over crank a heat exchanger engine with the seawater inlet sea-cock turned ‘ON’. Close/shut off the seawater inlet sea-cock to stop seawater being pumped into the exhaust system to prevent the risk hydraulic lock occurring.
If engine does not start after 3 attempts then allow 5 minutes for the starter to cool down before retrying.
When you re-attempt initial engine start up and the engine fires and runs you must must immediately re-open the sea-cock. 6
