Section 1: Introduction ® Thank you for buying the Lowrance LMF-200. Your unit is a high- quality, multi-function, digital gauge designed to work with a ® LowranceNET ™ network. This is the NMEA 2000 networking system developed by Lowrance Electronics. 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. This gauge will o

Section 2: Installation Preparation When installed, the gauge will cover an area on the dash 2-3/8" (60.3 mm) in diameter. To mount the unit, first make sure there is at least 2- 3/4" (70 mm) from the front of the dash to any obstruction behind the dash. The maximum usable dash thickness is 1-1/8" (28.5 mm). Also, be sure there is room to route the network and buzzer cables. The following figure shows gauge dimensions. 2-3/4" (70 mm) Gasket 2-3/8" (60.3 mm) Cables Threaded mounting col

The buzzer installation requires two cable ties and two wire nuts or other wire connectors. If you need to extend any of the buzzer or dash light wires, use a minimum of 24 gauge wire and wire connectors of your choice. Wire nuts or electrical tape are required to cap any unused bare wires. Installation Sequence You can install this gauge in some other order if you prefer, but we recommend the installation sequence summarized below: 1. Determine the location for the gauge so you can plan

Insert gauge through the hole in the front side of the dash (left). Slide the rubber gasket over the cables, followed by the plastic collar (right). Slide the gasket forward so it is flush with the back of the dash, then screw on the mounting collar, turning it until it is snug against the gasket and the back of the dash. Find a buzzer location that is protected from the elements, but that still allows you hear it. Connect the buzzer wires according to one of the two wiring diagrams

Caution: The bare ends on any unused wires could cause an electrical short if left exposed. To prevent this, you should cover the individual wire ends — either by capping them with wire nuts or wrapping them with electrical tape. (You should cut off the bare wire before taping off the ends.

Adding a Network Node You can add a node to any existing connection, anywhere along the network backbone. This connection could be between a T connector and a terminator, between two T connectors, between a T connector and a backbone extension cable or between two extension cables. Wherever you want to add the new node, separate the sockets of the existing connection and install the T connector between them. Lowrance or LEI device con- nects to new T connector. Add T-shaped con- nector

NOTE: If you add an EP-10 Fuel Flow, EP-15 Fluid Level, EP-45 Water Pressure or EP-50 Storage Device sensor to the network, you must go through Boat Setup so the engine-tank configuration will be consistent among the sensors in the LowranceNet. Follow the Boat Setup procedure in Section 3: Operation. Additional Network Information For more detailed information about setting up a NMEA 2000 network, refer to the "Setup and Installation of NMEA 2000 Networks, General Information" that came
