installation procedures, and NMEA 2000 upgrades not documented in
the LMS 480M, LMS-480cDF and GlobalMap 4800M manuals.
Your unit now packs with a 2-foot (61 cm) blue-to-red adapter cable, 15-
foot (4.6 m) extension cable, LGC-3000 GPS module, double T connector
and two 120-ohm terminators.

Power Connections Your unit comes with a power/data cable that splits into three branches, each with several exposed wires. The thicker three-wire cable (white, red and black) is the power supply for your display unit. This cable has no label. The thinner branch with three wires (red, black and shield) is the power cable for a NMEA 2000 network. It is labeled "NMEA 2000 POWER." The branch with four wires (blue, yellow, orange, and shield) is a data cable, labeled "RS-232 COMM." It supp

Powering Your Display Unit The display unit works from a 12-volt DC battery system. Attach the display power cable (with provided 3-amp fuse) to an accessory switch or power bus. If this results in electrical interference, connect direct to a battery but install an in-line switch on the cable. Caution: We strongly recommend that you shut off the power supply to the power cable when the unit is not in use, especially in saltwater en- vironments. When the unit is turned off but still connec

For example, if you have to extend the power cable to the power bus or battery, attach one end of the fuse holder directly to the power bus or battery. This will protect both the unit and the power cable in the event of a short. This unit has reverse polarity protection. No damage will occur if the power wires are reversed. However, the unit will not work until the wires are attached correctly. Power Diagram A Mandatory To unit network power-off 3-amp fuse switch NMEA 2000 Power C

Powering a NMEA 2000 Network Bus A NMEA 2000 bus must be connected to a power source to operate. NMEA 2000 devices, including GPS modules, draw their power from the network bus. If you have a pre-existing NMEA 2000 network instal- lation, it may already be connected to another power source. If you are not sure about a network's power status, consult the boat manufacturer or dealer. If your NMEA 2000 bus is already powered, you can ignore the NMEA 2000 Power cable and use the method shown i

when not in use. Failure to connect to and use a power switch will drain your boat battery, which could stop your boat's operation. GPS Antenna/Receiver Module Your unit packs with the LGC-3000 GPS module. This device contains the unit's external antenna and receiver for GPS and WAAS signals. The antenna/receiver module comes with a 15-foot (4.6 m) extension cable. This module can be mounted on a flat surface or pole, or an op- tional magnet is available for temporary mounting on any ferr

the telephone wiring in a house. If you pick up a phone in your living room, you can hear someone talking into the phone in the bedroom. Lowrance and LEI provide all the cables you will need to create a NMEA 2000 network. Lowrance provides T connectors and extension cables so you can add devices along the backbone wherever you want. Once you have a working network, every sensor added will come with its own T connector for easy expansion. The simplest NMEA 2000 network is a GPS or sonar/G

NMEA 2000 Device Configuration The NMEA 2000 menu on your display unit's main menu allows you to configure, calibrate and monitor devices on a NMEA 2000 network. The NMEA 2000 menu provides access to the Bus Setup, Fuel Management and NMEA 2000 Alarms. You also can turn on/off Waypoint Sharing and Backlight Synchronization from the NMEA 2000 menu. NOTE: The menus in your unit may differ slightly from the screen cap- tures used in this document. Your unit, however, will perform the same N

The NMEA Diagnostics page displays information about the perform- ance of the network bus, keeping you updated on bus status, mode, er- rors and bus traffic. The Ethernet Diagnostics page keeps you updated on the performance of an Ethernet connection (if applicable) supplying information ranging from IP Address to upload and download rates (bytes per second). To refresh either Diagnostics page, highlight the PING ALL DEVICES button at the bottom of the page and press ENT. The network device

Instance The Instance command is intended for use only by experienced NMEA 2000 network technicians. Instance allows network technicians to re- solve certain electronic probe conflicts. This is most likely to occur if the network includes LMF-200 or LMF-400 digital gauges, which support the display of fewer electronic probes than your GPS or sonar/GPS unit. If you want to use your unit in a network including one of these digital gauges, you may need to consult customer service. You should
