The Maretron J2K100 NMEA 2000/J1939 Bridge is a device that connects directly into J1939 networks of compatible engines, transmissions, and gensets. Its purpose is to convert the J1939 engine data into the NMEA 2000 marine digital interface. By doing so, it allows critical engine, transmission, and genset data to be distributed throughout the vessel using just a single cable. This data can then be monitored on any NMEA 2000 compatible display, making it easily accessible.
One of the key features of the Maretron J2K100 is that it only listens to the J1939 network and does not draw any power from it. Instead, it derives power from the NMEA 2000 interface. This means that it will not interfere with existing engine control or status data on the J1939 network.
In addition to its primary function as a bridge between J1939 and NMEA 2000, the Maretron J2K100 can also be used as part of a complete fuel computer. By connecting it with the Maretron universal display (DSM200) and gps antenna/receiver (GPS100), you can create a system capable of displaying metrics such as gallons per hour and/or miles per gallon.
Overall, the Maretron J2K100 NMEA 2000/J1939 Bridge offers a range of features and specifications that make it a versatile and valuable tool for monitoring and managing engine data on marine vessels.
