5.1 ICON EST and Optimus 360 Network
Interconnection
The Evinrude ICON shift and throttle system and the Optimus 360
system connect together through the CAN2 network. Because the
ICON network uses 6-pin connectors, rather than the 5-pin DeviceNet
connectors used by CAN2, adapter harnesses are required to
connect the two networks together.
You will make two connections between the CAN2 and ICON
networks, using adapter harness CM20016:
1. Connect the PCM CAN2 harness (CM20304) to the adapter
harness, then connect the adapter harness to an available port
in an ICON hub.
2. Connect the adapter harness to the backbone connection on a
CAN2 network tee, then connect the harness to an available port
in an ICON hub.
Harness CM20021 replaces the standard Evinrude ignition switch
harness. It includes an additional purple wire to deliver the ignition-
on signal to the PCM. Connect this purple wire to the two purple wires
found on harness CM20304 (at the end that connects to the PCM).
Using 16AWG (1.3 mm
2
) wire to make any necessary extensions.
SEALING PLUGS MUST BE INSTALLED ON ALL UNUSED CAN1 PORTS.
WARNING
The 6-port ICON hub looks similar
to the 6-port Optimus hub
(CM20064), but they are not
interchangeable. The ICON hub
uses 6-pin connectors, whereas
CM20064 uses 5-pin connectors.
NOTICE
To complete the system installation for an Evinrude ICON EST engine
you need to:
1. Install the Evinrude control head (refer to installation instructions
provided by Evinrude)
2. Complete the CAN network connections (section 5.1)
3. Set up the control head using Datalink (section 5.2)
Once you’ve completed these steps you can move on to the sea trial
(Book 50) and then to the joystick setup in section 9.
