• About

The 2" Stand-Alone CAN Display instrument is a member of the Beede NexSysLink® CAN instruments product family�

This instrument directly reads SAE J1939 compliant CAN messages and displays the message information on a sunlight visible, transective dotmatrix LCD� Like all NexSysLink® instruments, this product eliminates the need for a translation “black box” between an ECM/ECU and the instrument itself making wiring and installation simple and fast�

Three discrete alert LEDs provide users with visual notication of engine/ vehicle/vessel parameter faults, warnings and malfunctions� Built-in, sealed, tactile switches allow users to easily navigate the intuitive menu driven user interface� The integration of the switches also reduces wiring to further reduce installation time and costs; essentially providing a plug-and-play product�

Although designed to "stand-alone", the instrument may be used in conjunction with other NexSysLink® instruments to monitor your equipment�

• Scope

This manual describes how to navigate the LCD interface and use the many features the instrument provides� Although the interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, this operation manual provides users with a resource to realize the full potential and capabilities of the instrument�

Covered in this manual are display options, menu navigation and menu function usage�

Although some wiring connections are noted for easy reference, this manual does not cover complete installation mounting and wiring requirements� Please refer to the installation instruction sheet for proper installation�

• Precongured Instruments

Some instruments are precongured at the factory to individual OEM specications to best meet the needs of the application and end user�

Precongured features include but may not be limited to alarm conguration, single or dual line display and backlight intensity�

Precongured features are easily modied to satisfy personal preferences�

• Stand-Alone and Master Node Congurations

The instrument is primarily designed to "stand-alone" in applications where ease of use, limited space and simple installation are critical criteria in choosing the type of engine/vehicle/vessel monitoring electronics�

In order to satisfy a wide range of application demands, the hardware of the 2" CAN Display can be factory congured to drive a maximum of 16 Beede NexSysLink® Slave Node Instruments (SNI) or Analog Slave Node Instruments (ASNI)�

The ability to connect with ASNI gauges expands the instruments capabilities to display analog inputs such as fuel level or air pressure�

When factory congured to drive Beede NexSysLink® SNI or ASNI gauges, Pin 4 of the 6 pin connector is used for serial data communication among the instruments�
