1. The KAntrak™ Platform
Kongsberg Automotive KAntrak™ 1700 LCD display is a rugged
75x75mm DIN-format module with 3 soft keys, and offers a 128
x 64 pixel display area. This is large enough to support
monitoring and diagnostic data available on the latest
generation of electronically controlled systems.
It offers a Deutsch connector interface, and protection to IP67
which covers immersion in water up to 1 meter. Units come with
standard CAN 2.0B interface compatible with J1939 protocol
used by many manufacturers. Moreover it incorporates a
heating element to support reading ability at low temperature up
to (-30oC)

2. Software Development Options
Customers have a range of options for creating user interfaces
on KAntrak™: Like a PC, a KAntrak™ needs application
software to provide a useful function. One example of
application software written by Kongsberg Automotive is the
GEM (Generic Engine Monitoring) software written to display
electronically controlled diesel engines and transmission
performance parameters and faults/alarm using the SAE J1939
protocol. KAntrak™ may be programmed to perform an
extensive number of display, control and data logging tasks.
Kongsberg Automotive offers a fast-turnaround and cost
effective software development service for KAntrak™.These
projects can range from something as simple as placing a
customer's logo on the splash screen, through additional pages
of data on a branded version of GEM, to a full application with
custom user interfaces, control program, communication
protocols, etc.
Finally for customers who wish to develop their own application,
Kongsberg Automotive has developped a software develop-
ment kit (SDK) compatible with common embedded tools.

3. KAntrak™ Connection Data
The KAntrak™ interfaces to data via the Deutsch DT04-6P
connector on the rear of the display - wired as shown (see
pinout diagram). The rear connector can be wired to the vehicle
electric system using the Deutsch DT06-6S mating part.

4. Typical J1939 Wiring Topology
Most modern engine installations include a harness with built in
J1939 backbone. (Check engine manufacturer's document-
ation). If not, it is critical to use twisted shielded pair with a drain
wire (max length 40m) terminated with 120 ohm resistors at
each end. In addition, all stubs shoud not exceed 1m in length.

5. KAntrak™ Installation
Units are designed to be mounted onto a bulkhead, dashboard
or panel. The method is described below. The only required
component is the plastic locking ring (PF0709) supplied with
every KAntrak™.
Instructions:
• Decide on a location
• Allow adequate clearance behind the display for cable
connection, to ensure that the cables are not unduly
stressed, and for ventilation. Leave sufficient cable so that
the unit may be removed for servicing.
• Cut out the 53mm mounting hole.
• Connect the Deutsch mating part into the housing.
• Place the KAntrak™ in position, secure by screwing the
locking ring onto the thread on the rear of the unit.

6. Maintenance and Troubleshooting
No regular maintenance is required, except for cleaning the
KAntrak™ lens as required using a soft, damp cloth. Do not use
abrasive material or solvents, specifically white spirit, petrol and
acetone. Should any further attention be necessary, please
contact your supplier.
If you are experiencing operating problems with KAntrak™,
check these diagnostics:
Problem Possible solution
Unit does not power up • Ensure connections to unit are correct.
• Ensure power source is present.
Display is blank or black
• Adjust/ reset lighting and contrast
settings.
• Ensure temperature is within operating
range of the unit.
Unit fails to display any data • Ensure connections to unit are correct.
• Ensure data source is broadcasting
data.
