OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

Operation

MeCAN begins transmitting J1939 CANbus data immediately after power-up. Data can be viewed using a J1939 compatible display, e.g. the Murphy PV101, or used as part of a J1939 control system, e.g. Murphy CANstart or CASCADE modules.

Engine oil pressure and coolant temperature

Model 79.70.0014 transmits pressure and temperature data when the sender input is within normal resistance range. MeCAN also transmits appropriate SPN (Suspect Parameter Number) and FMI (Fault Mode Indicator) codes if:

input resistance is out of normal sender range, e.g. open- or short-circuit

oil pressure drops below 20 psi (warning message) and 10 psi (shutdown/derate message)

coolant temperature rises above 90°C/194°F (warning message) or 110°C/230°F (shutdown message)

Model 79.70.0020 transmits pressure and temperature data in accordance with the switch position:

Maintenance and Warranty

MeCAN contains no user-serviceable parts. Maintenance is therefore limited to the following preventative checks:

Check that MeCAN electrical connections are secure.

Check that the case is mounted securely, with vibration and environmental exposure minimised where possible. The case may be wiped with a clean, damp cloth. Do not use cleaning solvents.

MeCAN is supplied with a two year warranty on parts and workmanship. In the event of a fault or technical query, and before returning equipment, please contact your Murphy representative for technical support.

SPN/FMI code

 

Oil pressure fault codes are not transmitted until 10 seconds after engine starting (once speed has risen above 800 RPM).

Engine speed data

RPM data is transmitted whenever a speed signal is present (above the minimum 10VAC peak). If engine speed exceeds 3500 RPM, MeCAN also transmits the appropriate overspeed fault SPN and FMI codes.

Battery voltage

MeCAN measures its DC power supply voltage and transmits this as J1939 ‘electrical potential’ data (PGN 65271).

Hours run

MeCAN transmits ‘engine hours run’ data (PGN 65253). The hours run value is stored in non-volatile flash memory and increases only while engine speed is above 500 RPM. To prolong flash memory life, hours run data is updated at 3 minute intervals.
