#Lowrance nmea 2000 network terminators how to#
In this example, a new device is added to the N ME A 2000 bus by installing a T conn ector between a T connector and a terminatħ LMF-200: EP-80R Temp Configuration This section covers how to use EP -80R Temp erature Sensor with the LMF-200 Multi-function gauge. Install the new T connector and attach the terminator to the side of the connector. Connections at the end of a network will have the backbone cable plugged into one side and a terminator plugged into the other, as shown in tĦ If you want to add a node at the end of the backbone (network bus) remove the terminator from the last connector, like the figure above. Connections found in the middle of the bus could have T connectors or backbone network cable plugged into one or both sides. Connecting to a NMEA 2000 Network A NMEA 2000 network is a communications linkĥ It connects the network nodes, allowi ng them to communicate across the netwo rk. Route the sensor's cable connector to the T on the network backbone where you intend to attach it, and plug it in. Attach the temp module to the hull with one #8 stainless steel screw and seal th e screw with the below-waterline sealant compound. The mo st common applications are transom mounts - to measure surface water temperature - or in a livewĤ the open transom. Installation The EP-80R temperature sensor can be mounted in any location where you want temperature to be monito red. Includes a 2-foot extension cable, T connector and two 120-ohm terminators. The EP-80R Temp, like the other LowranceNģ LowranceNET Node Kit for a NMEA 2000 network. The cable leng th measures 18 inches (46 cm) from the connector to the smart module and 10 feet (3 meters) from the smart module to the temp module. It also provides instructions on how to configure your temp sensor with Lowrance digital gauges (LMF- 200 & LMF-400) and display unitsĢ The EP-80R consists of the temp se nsor module, a red cable connector and the smart module, which converts analog temperature data to NMEA 2000 data format.
