EP-70R Speed
Electronic Speed Sensor
Installation Instructions
This document shows how to install an EP-70R speed sensor and how
®
to connect it to a NMEA 2000 network.
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

The EP-70R consists of the paddle wheel sensor module, a red cable connector and the smart module, which converts analog speed data to the NMEA 2000 data format. The cable length from the connector to the smart module is 16 1/2 inches (42 cm) and from the smart module to the speed module is 10 feet (3 meters). The EP-70R speed sensor, like the other LowranceNet Electronic Probe (EP) sensors, is designed for use with a NMEA 2000 network. Your sensor, however, is also compatible with Lowran

For complete instructions on setting up a new NMEA 2000 network or expanding an existing one, see the NMEA 2000 document packed with your EP-70R, "Setup and Installation of NMEA 2000 Networks, General Information," part number 988-0154-173. If that document is missing, it can be downloaded free from the Lowrance web site. Recommended tools for this job include: drill, 7/8" (22 mm) drill bit, 1/8" (3 mm) drill bit for pilot holes, screwdriver. Required supplies for this job include: four #

Rear view Bottom of hull Speed sensor rear view. Transom Side view Bottom of hull Speed sensor side view. If the base of the transom has a radius, fill the gap between the transom and the sensor with sealant. This will help ensure a smooth water flow. Route the sensor's cable through or over the transom to the LowranceNET. If you need to drill a hole in the transom to pass the connector through, the required hole size is 7/8". Caution: If you drill a hole in the tra

In similar fashion, a NMEA 2000 network allows multiple display units to receive data from a GPS antenna or multiple sonar units to receive messages sent by a temperature sensor. A NMEA 2000 network gives you the flexibility to view information like engine diagnostics and fuel level data on digital gauges or display units located anywhere on your boat. There are two types of LowranceNet red connectors: the single T connector (left) and the double T connector (right). Network Backb

NOTE: If you have a double T Connector on your network that is not attached to a device, you must cap the unused connector with a NMEA 2000 cap. This will protect the pin connectors from corrosion. The NMEA 2000 cap looks like a terminator, but has "Cap" s
