IV.1 Connection to a Volvo Penta Engine
The Device is compatible with all versions of Volvo Penta EVC, including the first version EVC-A
(also known as EVC-MC or EVC-EC); engines with MDI (Mechanical Diesel Interface, D1 and D2 series);
with engines equipped with EDC III (EMS2) and EDC IV systems; with gasoline engines equipped with
EFI system (MEFI4B or MEFI5 controllers are supported, with or without EVC system installed); with
gasoline engines equipped with Volvo Penta EGC (with or without EVC system installed).
The Gateway is compatible with most of engines manufactured since 2004 and even with some engines
manufactured before 2000. Most modern engines (manufactured since 2006) are equipped with different
versions of EVC-B, EVC-C, EVC-D, or EVC-E. If any of these versions are fitted on your boat, (regardless
if diesel or gasoline engine) please refer section IV.1.6 for installation details. Please also see IV.1.6
for engines with MDI (Mechanical Diesel Interface), which are used in the popular D1 and D2 series
of engines (for example, D2-40F).
For Volvo Penta KAD and TAMD engines (EDC I and EDC II), and for engines with J1708/J1587 interface,
please, use another our product, J1708 Engine Gateway YDES-04 (see
for details).
Do not connect the Device to any connectors labeled “Panel”, “Diagnostics”, “Datalink”, “Aux”
or “Senders”. If you have any doubts, ask a specialist.
When connected to both the NMEA 2000 and the engine network, the Device should give a signal indicating
data in the engine network (see Section VII) immediately after the ignition is turned on.
The plug supplied with the Device is not a terminator of a CAN bus. It connects two CAN buses
on the 6-pin connector (see Appendix E).
