1. The VE.Can to NMEA2000 cable. Which by either inserting or leaving out the fuse allows to either power the NMEA 2000
network with Victron equipment, or not. Take note of below warning.
2. The 3802 VE.Can Adapter by OSUKL. Its advantage is that it lends itself well to connecting a single NMEA 2000 device such
as a tank sender into a VE.Can network. It's also able to power a lower voltage NMEA 2000 network directly from a 48V
Victron system.
Warning and solution for 24V and 48V systems
Whilst all Victron components accept up to 70V input on their CAN-bus connections, some NMEA 2000 equipment does not. They
require a 12V powered NMEA 2000 connection, and sometimes work up to 30 or 36V. Make sure to check the datasheet of all
used NMEA 2000 equipment. In case the system contains NMEA 2000 that requires a network voltage below the battery voltage,
then either see above 3802 VE.Can Adapter by OSUKL. Or alternatively install the VE.Can to NMEA2000 cable without it’s fuse,
and provide suitable power to the NMEA 2000 network using for example a NMEA 2000 power adapter cable – which is not
supplied by Victron. The VE.Can port on the GX device does not need external power to operate.
