OVERVIEW
This is an overview only. Please familiarize yourself with the manual and the manuals of any connecting devices before installation. It is always recommended that electronic equipment be installed by an experienced installer.
INSTALLATION
- Mounting: Consider the location…
- Dry, sturdy location.
- Ensure you have the right length of cable needed. If drilling holes for your cabling, seal around any holes after installation to prevent water ingress and damage to your vessel or equipment.
- Connect Power
The JS01 is powered by the NMEA 2000 network. - NMEA 2000 is a plug-and-play communications standard, the JS01’s NMEA2000 input does not require additional setup before connecting it to an NMEA 2000 network. To protect the device, please don’t power up NMEA 2000 bus during the installation process.
- J1939: J1939 is a set of standards defined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). J1939 builds on the CAN bus by providing a higher-layer protocol that defines message formats, addressing, and error handling.
Different equipment may use various types of CAN bus connectors. The JS01 uses Deutsch DT04 -6P and DT06-6S connectors, which are known for their reliability and are widely used in marine inboard engines. These connectors were chosen to ensure secure, robust connections in demanding marine environments. If your engine uses a different connector type, an appropriate adapter will be required.
The DT04-6P and DT06-6S connectors are pin-to-pin connected. This design allows the JS01 to integrate into an existing CAN bus system without disrupting or affecting any current connections.
The JS01 unit connects via three wires:- Pin 1: CAN Low
- Pin 3: CAN High
- Pin 4: Ground
Please double-check your wiring to ensure no incorrect connections are made. The JS01 draws power from the NMEA 2000 bus, so no 12V need to be connected.

CONVERSION LISTS
J1939 TO NMEA 2000 CONVERSION LISTS
- The JS01 operates in a read-only mode on the J1939 interface, ensuring it does not interfere with existing engine control or status systems. It only reads data from the J1939 network and transmits it to the NMEA 2000 bus. This design guarantees there are no security or safety risks to the existing J1939 system.
- The following table lists the supported NMEA 2000 PGN’s and the related J1939 SPN/PGNs.

APP
- The JS01 is a plug-and-play device that requires no initial configuration before connecting to an NMEA 2000 network. However, if you wish to view engine data or adjust the instance number to support multiple engines, you will need to use the JS01 Config App on an Android tablet or mobile device. The configuration tool also allows you to filter engine error and warning messages transmitted to the NMEA 2000 network.
- The latest App can be download from Quark-elec webpage page: https://www.quark-elec.com/downloads/configuration-tools/
