EP-80R Temp
Electronic Temperature Sensor
Installation and Configuration Instructions
This document shows how to install an EP-80R temp sensor and how to
connect it to a NMEA 2000® network. It also provides instructions on
how to configure your temp sensor with Lowrance digital gauges (LMF-
200 & LMF-400) and display units.
NMEA 2000 is the communication bus standard developed by the
National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) for use in boats.
Lowrance has introduced a line of products that can communicate over
a NMEA 2000 network (LowranceNet).
All Lowrance NMEA 2000 capable devices are either NMEA 2000
certified or certification is pending.
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. Decide where you want to install
all components before drilling any holes in your vessel.
Some sonar or GPS display units may require a software upgrade to
display NMEA 2000 data correctly. For free software upgrades or

LowranceNET Node Kit for a NMEA 2000 network. Includes a 2-foot
extension cable, T connector and two 120-ohm terminators.
Installation
The EP-80R temperature sensor can be mounted in any location where
you want temperature to be monitored. The most common applications
are transom mounts — to measure surface water temperature — or in
a livewell. Wherever you install it, make sure the temp module will be
in contact with the water at all times. If the sensor is mounted on the
transom, make sure it is mounted in a manner that prevents it from
coming into contact with the boat trailer.
Caution:
If you drill a hole in the transom for the cable, make sure it is
located above the waterline. After installation, be sure to seal the
cable hole with the same marine grade above-or below-waterline
sealant used for the screw.

Notice that the sensor was routed so the smart module is inboard.
After determining the location, use the temp module as a template and
mark the hull for the screw's pilot hole. Route the temp module and
cable over or through the transom to the mounting location. If routing
through the transom, drill a 3/4" hole to accommodate the temp
module. Make sure the smart module is inboard and not left exposed on

the open transom. Attach the temp module to the hull with one #8
stainless steel screw and seal the screw with the below-waterline
sealant compound.
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 NMEA 2000 network is a communications link between two or more
devices that transfer NMEA 2000 information. LowranceNET is the
NMEA 2000 networking system developed by Lowrance Electronics. A
NMEA 2000 network functions like the phone wiring in a house. If, for
example, you pick up a phone in the living room you will be able to
hear the conversation someone is having on a phone in the bedroom.
In similar fashion, a NMEA 2000 network allows multiple display units
to receive data from a GPS antenna or multiple sonar units to receive
messages sent by a temperature sensor. A NMEA 2000 network gives
you the flexibility to view information like engine diagnostics and fuel
level data on digital gauges or display units located anywhere on your
boat.
There are two types of LowranceNet red connectors: the single T
connector (left) and the double T connector (right).
Network Backbone and Network Nodes
A network bus backbone consists of network cabling, terminators and T
connectors. Network nodes are made by fitting T-shaped connectors into
the backbone (using the sockets on the sides) and attaching any network
device to the bottom of the T.
Staying with the previous phone wiring example, T connectors on the
backbone are the equivalent of phone jacks spread throughout a house.
To pick up a phone and be able to hear a conversation from another
phone in the house, both phones have to be connected to the main phone
line. In similar fashion, only sensors and display units plugged into the
NMEA network can share information. The network backbone is like the
phone wiring that runs throughout a home.

It connects the network nodes, allowing them to communicate across the
network. Connections found in the middle of the bus could have T
connectors or backbone network cable plugged into one or both sides.
Connections at the end of a network will have the backbone cable plugged
into one side and a terminator plugged into the other, as shown in the
following figure.

NOTE:
If you have a double T Connector on your network that is not
attached to a device, you must cap the unused connector with a
NMEA 2000 cap. This will protect the pin connectors from
corrosion. The NMEA 2000 cap looks like a terminator, but has
"Cap" stamped into the connector housing.
All T connectors on your network probably will be connected to a device.
If you want to add another node to a working network, add another T
connector. T connectors may be purchased from LEI (ordering
information appears on the back page of this booklet). If you are adding a
Lowrance or LEI NMEA 2000 sensor, it will come with a T connector.
Adding a Network Node
You can add a node to any existing connection, anywhere along the
network backbone. This connection could be between a T connector and a
terminator, between two T connectors, between a T connector and a
backbone extension cable or between two extension cables. Wherever you
want to add the new node, separate the sockets of the existing connection
and install the T connector between them.

If you want to add a node at the end of the backbone (network bus)
remove the terminator from the last connector, like the figure above.
Install the new T connector and attach the terminator to the side of the
connector.

Your unit may have a NMEA 2000 menu or a Networking menu,
depending on the software version installed in your unit. Both menus
allow you to perform the same NMEA 2000 related functions.
NOTE:
Some of the menus shown in this section may differ slightly from
the menus in your display unit, but your unit will perform the same
