EP-80R Temp
Electronic Temperature Sensor
Installation and Configuration Instructions
This document shows how to install an EP-80R temp sensor and how to
®
connect it to a NMEA 2000 network. It also provides instructions on
how to configure your temp 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.

The EP-80R consists of the temp sensor module, a red cable connector 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 meters) from the smart module to the temp module. The EP-80R Temp, like the other LowranceNet Electronic Probe (EP) sensors, is designed for use with a NMEA 2000 network. Your sensor, however, is also compatible with LowranceNet blue conne

LowranceNET Node Kit for a NMEA 2000 network. Includes a 2-foot extension cable, T connector and two 120-ohm terminators. Installation The EP-80R temperature sensor can be mounted in any location where you want temperature to be monitored. The most common applications are transom mounts — to measure surface water temperature — or in a livewell. Wherever you install it, make sure the temp module will be in contact with the water at all times. If the sensor is mounted on the transom, ma

the open transom. Attach the temp module to the hull with one #8 stainless steel screw and seal the screw with the below-waterline sealant compound. Route the sensor's cable connector to the T on the network backbone where you intend to attach it, and plug it in. 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

It connects the network nodes, allowing them to communicate across the network. Connections found in the middle of the bus could have T connectors or backbone network cable plugged into one or both sides. 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 the following figure. Backbone cable Terminator at (to rest of bus) Double T the end of the connector Cable from backbone (bus) sensor or

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. Install the new T connector and attach the terminator to the side of the connector. Use T-connector or double T connector to add Backbone cable device to bus (maintaining linear architecture) to rest of bus Existing network node Attach terminator at end of bus Devices connect to double T connector In this example, a new device is added to
