EP-90R Pressure
Electronic Sensor
Installation and Configuration Instructions
This document shows how to install an EP-90R Pressure sensor and
how to connect it to a NMEA 2000® network. It also provides
instructions on how to configure your pressure 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

For complete instructions on setting up a new NMEA 2000 network or
expanding an existing one, see the other document packed with your
EP-90R, "Setup and Installation of NMEA 2000 Networks, General
Information" part number 988-0154-173. If that document is not
available, it can be downloaded free from the Lowrance web site.
Installation
The EP-90R Pressure sensor can provide pressure data for the
following categories: Atmospheric Pressure, Engine Boost Pressure,
Engine Oil Pressure, Engine Water Pressure, Fuel Pressure,
Transmission Oil Pressure and Pitot Speed.
WARNING:
The maximum pressure for an EP-90R Pressure sensor is
100 PSI (689 kPa). If that pressure level is exceeded you
not only risk damaging the EP-90R, but could also suffer
bodily injury.
Pitot Tube (Water Speed)
We recommend installing the EP-90R near the boat’s original
speedometer.
NOTE:
If your engine does not have a speedometer hose, you will have to
purchase a pitot tube kit to use the EP-90R Pressure sensor. For
pitot tube installation instructions, refer to your pitot tube
installation manual.
The following steps cover the recommended installation of the EP-90R.
You will attach the EP-90R to a pitot tube hose in the same manner.
1. Remove the pressure hose from the boat’s speedometer.
2. Clip off the end of the pressure hose that was connected to the
speedometer. This will help ensure the pressure hose will fit snugly on
the EP-90R hose barb attachment. The hose-barb attachment
requires a 1.4" (6.35 mm) hose.

3. Slide the pressure hose onto the EP-90R hose barb attachment. If it
does not fit snugly, secure it with a zip tie at the base of the hose barb
attachment.
4. Now you are ready to remove the speedometer. Refer to the
speedometer’s installation manual for removal instructions.
5. The EP-90R is ready to be connected to NMEA 2000 network. If the
NMEA 2000 network backbone is in another part of the boat, the EP-
90R can be linked to the display unit at the console — if one is present
— or either of the LMF digital gauges by using the T connector that
was included in the packaging. If the network backbone is near the
console, connect the EP-90R red male connector to a T connector in the
desired location on the network backbone. The EP-90R is ready for use.
The rest of this document contains detailed information on connecting
to a NMEA 2000 network.
Installing the EP-90R to measure other data:
Follow this installation to monitor the following data: Atmospheric
Pressure, Engine Boost Pressure, Engine Oil Pressure, Engine Water
Pressure, Fuel Pressure and Transmission Oil Pressure.
NOTE:
Make sure the pressure hose has enough slack to be attached to the
pressure sensor when the EP-90R is connected to the NMEA 2000
backbone.
1. Slide the (Atmospheric, Engine Boost, Engine Oil, Engine Water,
Fuel or Transmission Oil) pressure hose onto the EP-90R hose barb
attachment. Attach a zip tie or hose clamp at the base of the hose barb
attachment.
2. The EP-90R is ready to be connected to NMEA 2000 network. If the
NMEA 2000 network backbone is in another part of the boat, the EP-
90R can be linked to the display unit at the console — if one is present
— or either of the LMF digital gauges by using the T connector that
was included in the packaging. If the network backbone is near the
console, connect the EP-90R red female connector to a T connector in
the desired location on the network backbone.
Connecting to a NMEA 2000 Network
A NMEA 2000 network is a communications link between two or more
devices that transfer NMEA 2000 information. 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 from 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.

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.
If you want to add another node to a working network, add another T
connector. T connectors may be purchased from LEI. If you are adding a
Lowrance or LEI NMEA 2000 sensor, it will come with its own 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. Install the new T
connector and attach the terminator to the side of the connector.
