Section 1: Introduction - Lowrance LMF-400 Installation And Operation Instructions Manual

Section 1: Introduction

Thank you for buying the Lowrance
quality, multi-function, digital gauge designed to work with a
LowranceNET™ network. This is the NMEA 2000
developed by Lowrance Electronics.
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
instructions before proceeding.
This gauge will only work with a NMEA 2000 network. It MUST be
connected to a NMEA 2000 network or it WILL NOT function. When
properly installed, the LMF-400 will display information from a variety
of Lowrance Electronic Probe (EP) sensors and other NMEA 2000
devices connected to the network.
A NMEA 2000 network using LowranceNET components.
All Lowrance NMEA 2000 capable devices are either NMEA 2000
certified or certification is pending. See our web site,
for the latest product information.
To get started with your Lowrance gauge, read Section 2: Installation.
After you have read those instructions, install the gauge and any EP
sensors you may have purchased, then read the rest of this manual.
Each sensor comes with its own installation instruction sheet, but this
manual describes how the gauge operates with each sensor and how to
configure and calibrate the sensors.
Your gauge packaging also includes the NMEA 2000 Networks General
Information. It contains instructions for creating or expanding a NMEA
2000 network.
