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
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.
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 certi-
fied or certification is pending.
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 in-
structions before proceeding. Decide where you want to install
all components before drilling any holes in your vessel.
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

  • Page 2 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 meters) from the smart module to the temp module.

  • Page 3: Installation

    Suggested location To install the EP-80R TH, use a hole saw to cut a 1-1/16" (27 mm) hole in the transom. The hole should be below the waterline. 2. After you've determined the proper location on the transom for the EP-80R TH, drill a 1/8"...
  • Page 4 Do not use a wrench to tighten the nut! Remove ex- cess sealant from the inside of the hull before it dries. 8. Route the EP-80R TH cable to the T on the network backbone where you intend to attach it, and plug it in.
  • Page 5 Inner hull Cross section of transom showing EP-80R TH installed 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.
  • Page 6 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.

  • Page 7: Additional Network Information

    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.
