Electronic Sensor
Installation, Configuration and Calibration Instructions
This document shows how to install an EP-60R Fuel Flow sensor and
how to connect it to a NMEA 2000
®
network. It also provides
instructions on how to configure and calibrate your fuel flow sensor
with Lowrance digital gauges (LMF-200 & LMF-400) and display units.
NMEA 2000 is the communication bus standard developed by the
National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) for use in boats.
Lowrance has introduced a line of products that can communicate over
a NMEA 2000 network (LowranceNet).
All Lowrance NMEA 2000 capable devices are either NMEA 2000
certified or certification is pending.
Caution:
Installing LowranceNET NMEA 2000 devices is significantly
different from installing earlier Lowrance components without
NMEA 2000 features. You should read all of the installation
instructions before proceeding. You should decide where to
install all components before drilling any holes in your vessel.
