Introduction
The device is a gateway from a J1939 network (engine network) to a NMEA 2000
marine digital network. With it, you can see engine revolutions, temperature, working
hours and other information on the screen of a chart plotter and other display devices
on an NMEA 2000 network. The Device was developed specifically for Volvo Penta
engines with an EVC system, but it can be used with engines of other manufacturers.
On most vessels, the Device starts working upon installation, with no configuration
needed. But were happy to point out that it has a wealth of diagnostics capabilities and
settings. Because of this, it can often be used on vessels where there are complications
with analog equipment from various manufacturers.
The YDEG-04 is compatible with a wide range of NMEA 2000 devices. Raymarine
SeaTalk NG, Simrad SimNet and Furuno CAN networks are branded versions of
NMEA 2000 and differ only in the type of connectors. In its devices, Garmin uses the
NMEA 2000 Micro connector that is compatible with the DeviceNet Micro connector.
Our devices are supplied with different types of NMEA 2000 connectors, making it
possible to connect them to networks of different manufacturers without any adapters.
The Device model is shown on the case.
The model YDEG-04R has a connector similar to Raymarine SeaTalk NG Female.
The model YDEG-04N has a connector similar to NMEA 2000 Micro Male, DeviceNet
Micro Male and Garmin NMEA 2000 Male (see Appendix E). To connect to other types
of NMEA 2000 networks, a cable adapter is required (it is not supplied with the Device
and must be purchased separately).
The product does not send data to engine networks, and it has a high-voltage
4
optical isolator between the NMEA 2000 and J1939 networks. Installing
the Device in accordance with the manual should not have any effect on the work of
the engine network. Power is supplied by the NMEA 2000 network. The connector to
the J1939 network supplies power only for opto-isolated transceiver
of the J1939 network. The Device is designed to work on 12V or 24V engine networks.
The devices is equipped with a slot for a MicroSD card which can be used to configure
its settings (loading a text file with the settings), updates for the Device software.
The card can also serve to record the data from the J1939 network for configuration
and diagnosis of the Device.
We thank you for purchasing our Devices and wish you happy voyages!

After connecting the Device, close the lock on the connection to ensure its water
resistance and reliability.
The Device has an LED which flashes red or green. After turning the power in the
NMEA 2000 network on, the Devices LED will give a series of 2 flashes 5 seconds
apart. If this does not happen, see Appendix A.
11
the system has a tachometer with a needle gauge connected to the vessel engine
network or directly to the engine by a 6-pin connector (see Fig.1 on the next
page);
the system has an HCU (Helm Control Unit) with a Multilink connector
(usually the connector and/or the cable label are yellow);
the system has a Multilink Hub (casing usually made completely of yellow
plastic).
12
The Device has a built-in Y-connector, and can be connected to the circuit before the
tachometer. Disconnect the tachometer cable, connect it to the Device, and connect
the cable from the Device to the tachometer. If the engines are united on a network
and there are multiple tachometers, you can choose any of them, so that installation
is convenient.
The Device may be connected to a free connector with the caption Multilink on
the HCU or on the Multilink Hub. If there are no free connectors, the Device can be
connected in series with any of the existing Multilink connections.
Attention! Do not connect the Device to any connectors labeled Panel,
Diagnostics, Datalink, Aux or Senders. If you have any doubts, ask
a specialist.
The Device, when connected to both the NMEA 2000 and the vessel network, should
give a signal indicating data in the vessel network (see Section VIII) immediately after
the ignition is turned on.
When connecting the device to an available connector or replacing existing J1939
equipment (e.g. a failed tachometer), connect the Device WITHOUT the plug supplied
with the Device. Turn the ignition on and make sure that the Device signals that data
is present in the J1939 network (see VIII.1). If the Device does not give a signal about
data being present, turn off the vessel network at the circuit breaker, connect the plug
and turn the ignition on again.
Attention! The plug supplied with the Device is not a terminator of a CAN
bus. It connects two CAN buses on the 6-pin connector (see Appendix E)..

15
Insert the card with a configuration file into the Device and in a few seconds you will
see three LED signals (see Section VIII) indicating that the configuration file has been
processed. A file YDEGSAVE.CFG will be created on the memory card with the current
configuration of the Device. After the three network signals, you can remove the card
and check the new YDEGSAVE.CFG file to be sure that the configuration file has been
properly interpreted.
You also can load an empty configuration file (zero length) into the Device to get
the YDEGSAVE.CFG file with the full configuration of the Device and then use it as
a template to configure the Device.
1. ENGINE_x=y
x identifier of an engine on the NMEA 2000 network [0..7]
y address of the engine on the J1939 network [0..253,OFF]
16
Factory configuration (from x=0 to 7): 0, 1, OFF, OFF, OFF, OFF, OFF, OFF
Engines on the NMEA 2000 network have identifiers. The port engine (or the only
engine on the vessel) has an identifier of 0; the identifier increase from port to
starboard.
The engines on the J1939 network have addresses, with the left engine having the
address of 0, and following engines having the address of 1 and so on. But this rule
may not always be kept.
For example, a catamaran has 2 engines not connected by a single network, both
engines will have an address of 0 on their separate J1939 networks. In this case,
the following settings should be used:
Device connected
to the left engine
Device connected
to the right engine
ENGINE_0=0
ENGINE_1=OFF
ENGINE_0=OFF
ENGINE_1=0
The value OFF is guaranteed to prevent the transfer of data to the NMEA 2000
network for the given identifier.
2. NMEA_BATTERY= [KEYSWITCH | CHARGING | POWER_INPUT | OFF]
Factory setting: KEYSWITCH
Equipment in the NMEA 2000 network can display data on the batterys voltage.
In the NMEA 2000 network may already have sensors to detect the battery voltage.
17
In this case, you can set the value of this parameter to OFF in order to exclude
the transfer of information about the batteries charge.
The engine can provide data about the ignition (keyswitch) battery voltage, voltage in
the charging circuit, and the potential of an additional battery that is connected to the
engine. With this option, you can specify that this data be transferred as information
about the battery charge.
What information gets transferred by the engine and what the meaning of the data
is depends on the engines software and settings of the engine network. For example,
a Volvo Penta D2-40F transfers only the ignition (keyswitch) battery information
other data is not available.
3. BATTERY_x=y
x identifier of the battery on the NMEA 2000 network [0..7]
y the address of the engine or equipment on the J1939 network that provides
the data on the battery potential [0..253,OFF].
Factory settings (from x=0 to 7): OFF, 0, OFF, OFF, OFF, OFF, OFF, OFF
Batteries on the NMEA 2000 network have identifiers analogous to engines.
The value, though, is not related to the location or purpose of the battery.
For example, on a sailing yacht with a single engine, data on the service battery will
be transferred by a special sensor on the NMEA 2000 network. The service battery
has an identifier of 0 on the NMEA 2000 network. The engine has an address of 0
on the J1939 network and provides data about the ignition (keyswitch) battery.
Then the correct configuration file would look like this:
18
ENGINE_0=0
NMEA_BATTERY=KEYSWITCH
BATTERY_0=OFF
BATTERY_1=0
4. NMEA_ALTERNATOR=[KEYSWITCH | CHARGING | POWER_INPUT | OFF]
Factory setting: KEYSWITCH
Along with data about the current parameters of the engines operation, the Device
can provide data about the voltage potential of the alternator of the given engine. The
possible values of the parameter are described in NMEA_BATTERY. The data for the
engine will be transferred only if the list of BATTERY_x parameters contains a battery
with the same J1939 address as the engine.
5. FUEL=[DIESEL | GASOLINE | OFF]
Factory setting: DIESEL
The OFF value completely blocks sending of data about the level of fuel in the tanks.
The values DIESEL and GASOLINE are used when sending message about the level of
fuel of the indicated type.
6. FUEL_x=[y,z|OFF]
x identifier of the fuel tank on the NMEA 2000 network [0..9]
y address of the engine (or other equipment) of the J1939 network, providing data
on the level of fuel in the tank [0..254]
19
This parameter controls mapping of the signal of auxiliary sensor of the Volvo Penta
MDI (AUX, see VII.1) to the engines status in the NMEA 2000 network. For example,
if an auxiliary sensor is installed and signals that there is water in the fuel, set the value
of the mask in 000100 (hexadecimal number, bit 9 is set) in accordance with the table
in Appendix B. See also MDI_PROP_MESSAGE.
9. MDI_SYS_FAULT_MASK=x
x 24-bit mask, hexadecimal number 000000FFFFFF
Factory setting: 000000
Displays the System fault status of the Volvo Penta MDI block (see VII.1) on
the status of the engine on the NMEA 2000 network. See also the description of
MDI_AUX_MASK and MDI_PROP_MESSAGE.
10. ALERT_x=[y,w,z|OFF]
x digit from 0 to 9, internal index of the Device
y 24-bit mask, hexadecimal number 000000FFFFFF
w decimal number of SPN, see the manual of your specific engine
z decimal number FMI, from 0 to 31, see the manual of your engine
When a diagnostic message (PGN 65226) with specified SPN and FMI codes is received
from the engine, set the bits of the engine status in NMEA 2000 to according to the
mask. For example:
ALERT_0=000020,158,1
21
Set the sixth bit (hexadecimal 000020) in the engine status (see Appendix B),
indicating Low System Voltage, when a diagnostic message received with the SPN
and FMI equal to 158 and 1, respectively.
11. ALERT_WARN1_MASK=x
x 24-bit mask, hexadecimal mask, hexadecimal number 000000FFFFFF
Factory setting: 000000
Set bit 17 of the engine status (Warning Level 1) if at least one bit of the current
engine status matches the specified mask. Use of this setting is described in VII.3.
12. ALERT_WARN2_MASK=x
x 24-bit mask, hexadecimal number 000000FFFFFF
Factory setting: 000000
Set bit 18 of the engine status (Warning Level 2) if at least one bit of the current
engine status matches the specified mask. Use of this setting is described in VII.3.
13. ALERT_POWER_REDUCTION_MASK=x
x 24-bit mask, hexadecimal number 000000FFFFFF
Factory setting: 000000
Set bit 19 of the engine status (Power Reduction) if at least one bit of the current
engine status matches the specified mask. Use of this setting is described in VII.3.
22
14. NMEA_ALERT_MASK=x
x 24-bit mask, hexadecimal number 000000FFFFFF
Factory setting: FFFFFF
Only bits set in this mask can be set by the Device in the engine status in NMEA 2000.
Use of this parameter is described in Section VII.4.
