EP-50 Storage Device
This instruction sheet tells how to connect your EP-50 storage device to
a NMEA 2000
You must refer to your digital gauge, sonar or GPS unit's manual for
sensor operation instructions.
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. You should decide where to
install all components before drilling any holes in your vessel.
Some sonar or GPS units may require: 1. a software upgrade to display
NMEA 2000 data correctly; and 2. a manual addendum describing how
to operate the sensor. You can download these free and get additional
information on the NMEA 2000
our web site, www.lowrance.com.
All Lowrance NMEA 2000 capable devices are either NMEA 2000
certified or certification is pending. See our web site for the latest
product status information.
