EP-80R TH
Electronic Thru-Hull Temp Sensor
Installation and Configuration Instructions
This document shows how to install an EP-80R TH thru-hull temp sen-
®
sor and how to connect it to a NMEA 2000 network. It also provides
instructions on how to configure your temp sensor with Lowrance digi-
tal gauges (LMF-200 & LMF-400) and display units.
NMEA 2000 is the communication bus standard developed by the Na-
tional Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) for use in boats.

Some sonar or GPS units may require a software upgrade to display NMEA 2000 data correctly. For free software upgrades or additional ® information on the LowranceNet NMEA 2000 network system, visit our web site, www.lowrance.com. The EP-80R TH consists of the temp sensor module, a red cable connec- tor and the smart module, which converts analog temperature data to NMEA 2000 data format. The cable length measures 18 inches (46 cm) from the connector to the smart module and 10 feet (3 meter

LowranceNET Node Kit for a NMEA 2000 network. Includes a 2-foot extension cable, T connector and two 120-ohm terminators. Recommended Tools and supplies Recommended tools for this job include: drill, 1/8" (3 mm) drill bit for pilot hole, 1-1/16 (27 mm) hole saw with a blade type appropriate for the com- position of your transom. Required supplies for this job include: high quality, marine grade above- or below-waterline sealant/adhesive compound. We recommend 3M Poly- urethane Marine A

Afterwards, clean the area around the hole with detergent or alcohol. This will establish a good surface for the adhesive. 5. Using a high quality, marine-grade above- or below-waterline seal- ant/adhesive compound, apply a 1/8" (3 mm) bead of sealant around the lip of the EP-80R TH housing. 6. Make sure the nut has been removed from the sensor module, then from the outside of the transom, pass the EP-80R TH cable through the hole and push the housing with sealant into it. Use a twisting

Connecting to a NMEA 2000 Network A NMEA 2000 network is a communications link between two or more devices that transfer NMEA 2000 information. LowranceNET is the NMEA 2000 networking system developed by Lowrance Electronics. A NMEA 2000 network functions like the phone wiring in a house. If, for example, you pick up a phone in the living room you will be able to hear the conversation so

Network Backbone and Network Nodes A network bus backbone consists of network cabling, terminators and T connectors. Network nodes are made by fitting T-shaped connectors into the backbone (using the sockets on the sides) and attaching any network device to the bottom of the T. Staying with the previous phone wiring example, T connectors on the backbone are the equivalent of phone jacks spread throughout a house. To pick up a phone and be able to hear a conversation from another phone i

All T connectors on your network probably will be connected to a device. If you want to add another node to a working network, add another T connector. T connectors may be purchased from LEI (ordering informa- tion appears on the back page of this booklet). If you are adding a Lowrance or LEI NMEA 2000 sensor, it will come with a T connector. Adding a Network Node You can add a node to any existing connection, anywhere along the net- work backbone. This connection could be between a T conne
