The EP-50 consists of a blue female locking cable connector and a smart
module. It stores NMEA 2000 fuel information about your vessel, which
includes Fuel Used, Trip Fuel Used and Seasonal fuel usage.
Refer to your display unit's operation manual or manual addendum for
instructions on how to clear out information stored in EP-50 storage
device memory.
The EP-50, like other Lowrance Electronic Probe (EP) sensors, is
designed only for use with a NMEA 2000 Network. It MUST be
connected to a NMEA 2000 network or it WILL NOT function.
Tools and Supplies
Your EP sensor packs with a T connector needed to attach it to a
LowranceNET NMEA 2000 network. If you are connecting to an
existing
LowranceNET
network,
those
are
all
the
electronic
components you need. If this is the first sensor you are connecting, you
will also need a one-time purchase of a LowranceNET Node Kit.
LowranceNET Node Kit for a NMEA 2000 network. Includes a 2-foot
extension cable, T connector, 120-ohm male terminator and 120-ohm
female terminator.
For complete instructions on setting up a new NMEA 2000 network or
expanding an existing one, see the other document packed with your
EP-50 Storage Device, "Setup and Installation of NMEA 2000
Networks, General Information," part number 988-0154-172. If that
document is missing, it can be downloaded free at www.lowrance.com.
Installation
To install the EP-50 Storage device, route the sensor's cable connector
to the T on the network backbone where you intend to attach it and
plug it in.
Connecting to a NMEA 2000 Network
A network bus is an installed and operational network cable (backbone)
running the length of your boat, already connected to a power supply
