Addendum I
LMS-480M, LMS-480DF &
GlobalMap 4800M
®
This addendum addresses new items packed with your unit, changes to
®
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.
The segment covering changes in installation procedures provides new
backcase diagrams and information on how to add your unit to a new
NMEA 2000 standard DeviceNet network.
The upgrades covered in this document include information on the new
LGC-3000 and instructions on how to configure and calibrate NMEA
2000 devices through the NMEA 2000 menu.
NOTICE!
The storage and operation temperature range for your unit is from -20
degrees to +167 degrees Fahrenheit (-28 degrees to +75 degrees Cel-
sius). Extended storage or operation in temperatures higher or lower
than specified will damage the liquid crystal display in your unit. This
type of damage is not covered by the warranty.
Pack Assembly
Your unit is packed with a 2-foot blue-to-red adapter cable, making it
compatible with NMEA 2000 standard DeviceNet networks. Networks
consisting of LowranceNet™ red connectors and Micro-C™ connectors
are examples of a DeviceNet network. Your unit is also compatible with
LowranceNet blue connector networks.
To add your unit to a NMEA 2000 DeviceNet network, the blue end of
the blue-to-red adapter cable must be connected to the unit's network
socket; otherwise you will not be able to use the red connector cables and
devices that came with your unit. Red connector components packed with
the unit include: 15-foot extension cable, LGC-3000 GPS module, double
T connector and two 120-ohm terminators. Instructions and diagrams
covering the use of items packed with your unit are contained in the Power
Connections segment below.

  • Page 2: Power Connections

    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.

  • Page 3: Powering Your Display Unit

    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-...

    NMEA 2000 Power Cable is connected to power. The NMEA 2000 power cable must be connected to power even if your only NMEA 2000 device is the GPS module and it is connected to the display unit's Network socket. (However, never connect multiple power sources to a NMEA 2000 network.

  • Page 5: Powering A Nmea 2000 Network Bus

    Use this method if you are only powering your display unit and are not powering a NMEA 2000 network or any NMEA 2000 accessory device, including a GPS module. (Fuse may be different from that shown.) If you do need to power your NMEA 2000 bus, attach the NMEA 2000 Power cable to an accessory switch as indicated in power diagram A on page 4.
