Lowrance electronic Cable Box EP-80R Manual Do Utilizador

 2 

The EP-80R consists of the temp sensor module, a red cable connector 

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. The EP-80R Temp, like the other 

LowranceNet Electronic Probe (EP) sensors, is designed for use with a 

NMEA 2000 network. Your sensor, however, is also compatible with 

LowranceNet blue connector networks. It can be added to a blue 

connector network by using a red female to blue female adapter cable.  

One way or another, your sensor 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 

NMEA 2000 LowranceNet 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 need to 

purchase a LowranceNET Node Kit. 
For complete instructions on setting up a new NMEA 2000 network or 

expanding an existing one, see the NMEA 2000 document packed with 
your EP-80R Temp, "Setup and Installation of NMEA 2000 Networks, 
General Information," part number 988-0154-173. If that document is 

missing, it can be downloaded free from the Lowrance web site. 

Other supplies are not included, unless otherwise indicated. A transom 

mount requires one #8 stainless steel screw (3/4" long) and a high 

quality, marine-grade above- or below-waterline sealant/adhesive 

compound. If you need a pilot hole for the screw, use a drill and a 1/8" 

drill bit. If you want to feed the temp module through a transom or 

bulkhead, use a 3/4" bit. A screwdriver is needed for mounting the temp 

sensor.
