1      General

1.1   Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Maretron EMS100 Engine Monitoring System. Maretron has designed and built your engine monitoring system to the highest standards for years of reliable, dependable, and accurate service.

 

The EMS100 plugs directly into engine wiring harnesses (through the use of a Maretron wiring harness, purchased separately) and converts analog signals such as water temperature and oil pressure to the NMEA 2000® digital interface.  Critical engine data is then distributed throughout the vessel over a single cable where it can be monitored by any NMEA 2000® compatible display.  The EMS100 is compatible with existing instrument panels and key switches so you don’t need to remove them while upgrading to newer digital technology. For new installations, the EMS100 and a compatible NMEA 2000® display can replace the traditional analog instrument panel.

 

The Maretron EMS100 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 EMS100 in order to ensure optimal performance.

2.2   Choosing a Mounting Location

The EMS100 is mounted between the engine and the NMEA 2000® network. Please consider the following when choosing a mounting location.

 

  1. The EMS100 is waterproof, so it can be mounted in a damp or dry location.
  2. The orientation is not important, so the EMS100 can be mounted on a horizontal deck, vertical bulkhead, or even upside down if desired.
  3.  The EMS100 is temperature rated to 55°C (130°F), so it should be mounted away from engines or engine rooms where the operating temperature exceeds the specified limit. 

 

 

2.3   Mounting the EMS100

Attach the Maretron EMS100 securely to the vessel using bolts or screws (not included) as shown in Figure 1 below.

 

 

Figure 1 – Mounting the EMS100

 

2.4   Connecting the EMS100

You connect the EMS100 using a Maretron wiring harness (available separately) which is designed for a particular type of engine.  One end of the Maretron wiring harness has two 12-pin Deutsch connectors which plug into the two connectors on the end of the EMS100 product enclosure.  These connectors are keyed differently, so there is no danger of plugging these in incorrectly.

 

2.4.1  Connecting to NMEA 2000® Interface

The Maretron EMS100 provides a connection to an NMEA 2000® interface through a five pin male connector located on the Maretron wiring harness, which  is purchased separately (see Figure 2). You connect the EMS100 to an NMEA 2000® network by plugging the male connector into a female receptacle of the NMEA 2000® network (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. The EMS100 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.

Refer to Section 4, “Troubleshooting”, if no engine information appears, otherwise proceed [RJG2] [FE3] to Section 2.5 entitled “Configuration”.

 

2.5      Configuration

There are several configurable items within the EMS100. You configure the EMS100 using a Maretron DSM250 display or other NMEA 2000® display unit that is capable of configuring the EMS100. Please refer to the Maretron DSM250 User’s Manual for details. Descriptions of the various configurable items appear in the following sections.

 

2.5.1     Engine Instance

In order to allow display equipment to distinguish between data coming from different engines, the NMEA 2000® network requires that each engine be assigned a unique instance number in the range of 0-252. The EMS100 comes from the factory programmed with an instance number of 0. Conventions for instance numbers for common engine configurations are as follows:

  • Single Engine = 0
  • Dual Engines: Port Engine = 0, Starboard Engine = 1
  • Triple Engines: Port Engine = 0, Starboard Engine = 1, Center Engine =2

 

2.5.2     Drive Trim Gauge Type

The EMS100 comes from the factory preprogrammed with the characteristics of drive trim gauge types for supported engines. If the EMS100 is used with an analog drive trim gauge, you must select the correct type of gauge for this setting in order for the data to be displayed correctly.  If you have no drive trim gauge present, select the “No Gauge” option for this setting.

 

2.5.3     Drive Trim Sender Type

2.5.9     Oil Pressure Sender Type

The EMS100 comes from the factory preprogrammed with the characteristics of oil pressure senders for supported engines.  If the engine to which you are connecting the EMS100 has a oil pressure sender, you must select the correct type of oil pressure sender for this setting in order for the data to be displayed correctly.  If you have no oil pressure sender present, select the “Disabled” option for this setting.

 

2.5.10  Oil Pressure Sender Offset

Often, the characteristics of individual oil pressure senders vary from their specified values. This setting allows you to apply an offset to the resistance value of the oil pressure sender in order to allow you to bring the digital value reported by the EMS100 into agreement with that displayed by the analog gauge.

 

2.5.11  Water Temperature Gauge Type

The EMS100 comes from the factory preprogrammed with the characteristics of water temperature gauge types for supported engines. If the EMS100 is used with an analog water temperature gauge, you must select the correct type of gauge for this setting in order for the data to be displayed correctly.  If you have no water temperature gauge present, select the “No Gauge” option for this setting.

 

2.5.12  Water Temperature Sender Type

The EMS100 comes from the factory preprogrammed with the characteristics of water temperature senders for supported engines.  If the engine to which you are connecting the EMS100 has a water temperature sender, you must select the correct type of water temperature sender for this setting in order for the data to be displayed correctly.  If you have no water temperature sender present, select the “Disabled” option for this setting.

 

2.5.13  Water Temperature Sender Offset

Often, the characteristics of individual water temperature senders vary from their specified values. This setting allows you to apply an offset to the resistance value of the water temperature sender in order to allow you to bring the digital value reported by the EMS100 into agreement with that displayed by the analog gauge.

 

2.5.14  Engine Hours

The EMS100 reports engine hours based on how long the EMS100 has been powered from the engine.  The EMS100 comes from the factory preprogrammed with an engine hours reading of 0 hours.  If you are installing the EMS100 on an engine that has been in service, or if you have overhauled an engine, you can use this setting to preset the engine hours reading to the desired value.

 

2.5.15  Flywheel Teeth

The EMS100 needs to know the number of flywheel teeth on the engine (or the number of alternator pulses per revolution) in order to correctly calculate engine RPM.  Use this setting to program the EMS100 with the number of flywheel teeth or alternator pulses per revolution for the engine the EMS100 is connected to. The factory default value of this parameter is 129.

 

2.5.16  NMEA 2000® PGN Enable/Disable

The EMS100 is capable of transmitting several different kinds of NMEA 2000® messages (or PGNs) associated with engines. You can use this setting to enable or disable transmission of each of these message types.

 

2.5.17  Restore Factory Defaults

This setting will cause all user-programmable settings on the EMS100 to be restored to the values that were in the EMS100 when it was shipped from the factory.

 

3      Maintenance

Regular maintenance is important to ensure continued proper operation of the Maretron EMS100.  Perform the following tasks periodically:

 

  • Clean the unit with a soft cloth.  Do not use chemical cleaners as they may remove paint or markings or may corrode the EMS100 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 connections to the engine wiring harness and re-seat or tighten if necessary.

 


4      Troubleshooting

If you notice unexpected operation of the Maretron EMS100, follow the troubleshooting procedures in this section to remedy simple problems. If these steps do not solve your problem, please contact Maretron Technical Support (refer to Section 0 for contact information).

 

Symptom

Troubleshooting Procedure

No engine data visible on NMEA 2000® network.

Ensure that the NMEA 2000® network is operational by observing displays. You should see information from components besides the ones attached to the EMS100 which verifies an operational NMEA 2000® network. If you don’t see data, try disconnecting the NMEA 2000 connection you made to the EMS100 as something may have been connected incorrectly.

 

Ensure that the Maretron wiring harness is securely connected both to the EMS100 and to the existing engine wiring harness as directed in the instructions supplied with the Maretron wiring harness.

 

Once you are sure that the NMEA 2000 network is operational with a connected EMS100, ensure that the NMEA 2000® connector on the Maretron wiring harness is securely connected to the NMEA 2000® network.

 

 

Ensure that the ignition switch for engine is turned on.  The EMS100 draws the majority of its power from the engine power connection.

 

Ensure that the EMS100 is programmed with an appropriate engine NMEA 2000 instance as described in Section 2.5.1.

 

Ensure that all NMEA 2000® messages are enabled (see Section 2.5.16 for details).

Incorrect Engine Data

Ensure that the settings for gauge type, sender type, and number of flywheel teeth are programmed appropriately.

 

Check the values of sender offset programmed into the EMS100.

Incorrect Tachometer Readings

Check the adjustment of the tachometer sensor on the engine. Once the EMS100 is connected, you may need to adjust the spacing between the sensor and the flywheel teeth.

 

Warning: There are no user-serviceable components inside the Maretron EMS100.  Opening the EMS100 will expose the sensitive electronic components to adverse environmental conditions that may render the unit inoperative. Please do not open the EMS100, as this will automatically void the warranty. If service is required, please return the unit to an authorized Maretron service location.
