Powering Your Display Unit
The display unit works from a 12-volt DC battery system. Attach the
display power cable (with provided 3-amp fuse) to an accessory switch
or power bus. If this results in electrical interference, connect direct to
a battery but install an in-line switch on the cable.
Caution:
We strongly recommend that you shut off the power supply to the
power cable when the unit is not in use, especially in saltwater en-
vironments. When the unit is turned off but still connected to a
power supply, electrolysis can occur in the power cable plug. This
may result in corrosion of the plug body along with the electrical
contacts in the cable and the unit's power socket. Risk of electroly-
sis corrosion is even greater when the cable is unplugged from the
unit, but still connected to a power source. We recommend you
connect the power cable to the auxiliary power switch included
in most boat designs. If that results in electrical interference, or
if such a switch is not available, we recommend connecting di-
rect to the battery and installing an in-line switch. This will let
you shut off power to the power cable when the unit is not in use.
When you are not using the unit, you should always shut off
power to the power cable, especially when the power cable is dis-
connected from the unit.
WARNING:
This product must be independently fused with the en-
closed 3-amp fuse (or equivalent), even if you connect to
a fused accessory or power bus.
If a malfunction happens inside the unit, extensive dam-
age can occur if the enclosed fuse is not used. As with all
electrical devices, this unit could be damaged to a point
that it is unrepairable and could even cause harm to the
user when not properly fused.
Failure to use a 3-amp fuse will void your warranty.
If possible, keep the power cable away from other boat wiring, especially
the engine's wires. This will provide the best isolation from electrical
noise. If the cable is not long enough, splice #18 gauge wire onto it.
The display power cable has three wires, white, red and black. Red is the
positive (+) lead, black is negative (–) or ground. The white wire is un-
used by your unit and should be capped. Make sure to attach the in-line
fuse holder to the red lead as close to the power source as possible.

For example, if you have to extend the power cable to the power bus or
battery, attach one end of the fuse holder directly to the power bus or
battery. This will protect both the unit and the power cable in the event
of a short.
This unit has reverse polarity protection. No damage will occur if the
power wires are reversed. However, the unit will not work until the
wires are attached correctly.

ferent from those shown.)
The network and any NMEA 2000 devices, including the GPS
module, will not operate unless the NMEA 2000 Power Cable is
connected to power. The NMEA 2000 power cable must be connected
to power even if your only NMEA 2000 device is the GPS module and it
is connected to the display unit's Network socket. (However, never
connect multiple power sources to a NMEA 2000 network.
The method in diagram B is also used when your display unit is con-
nected to a NMEA 2000 network that is already connected to power.
(Never connect multiple power sources to a NMEA 2000 network.)

Powering a NMEA 2000 Network Bus
A NMEA 2000 bus must be connected to a power source to operate.
NMEA 2000 devices, including GPS modules, draw their power from
the network bus. If you have a pre-existing NMEA 2000 network instal-
lation, it may already be connected to another power source. If you are
not sure about a network's power status, consult the boat manufacturer
or dealer. If your NMEA 2000 bus is already powered, you can ignore the
NMEA 2000 Power cable and use the method shown in Power Diagram
B. Never attach two power sources to a single NMEA 2000 bus.

NMEA 2000 Power Cable
Use this method if you are only powering your display unit and are not
powering a NMEA 2000 network or any NMEA 2000 accessory device,
including a GPS module. (Fuse may be different from that shown.)
If you do need to power your NMEA 2000 bus, attach the NMEA 2000
Power cable to an accessory switch as indicated in power diagram A on
page 4. The NMEA 2000 Power cable's red wire should be attached
(with provided 3-amp fuse) to the positive (+) terminal. The NMEA
2000 Power cable's black and shield wires should both be attached to
the negative (–) terminal.
WARNING:
The NMEA 2000 network bus is always on and constantly
drawing power. You must connect NMEA power to a
switched power source so you can turn off the network

when not in use. Failure to connect to and use a power
switch will drain your boat battery, which could stop
your boat's operation.
GPS Antenna/Receiver Module
Your unit packs with the LGC-3000 GPS module. This device contains
the unit's external antenna and receiver for GPS and WAAS signals.
The antenna/receiver module comes with a 15-foot (4.6 m) extension
cable. This module can be mounted on a flat surface or pole, or an op-
tional magnet is available for temporary mounting on any ferrous sur-
face.
You need to select an antenna installation location that has a clear, un-
obstructed view of the sky. After the module is installed, connect it to the
unit. The LGC-3000 can communicate with your GPS unit either directly
(using the supplied extension cable) or through a NMEA 2000 network.
LGC-3000 Module, bottom view (left) and top view (right).
NOTE
See the module’s instruction sheet, publication part number 988-
0154-651, for complete installation instructions.
To use the module in an automobile, you may achieve good results by
simply placing the external antenna on the top of the dash, at the base of
the windshield. A piece of the rubber non-skid shelf liner material avail-
able in recreational vehicle supply stores will help hold the antenna in
place. This may not work well if you have a cab-over design pickup truck
camper or motor home. If dashboard reception is poor, simply relocate
the antenna module elsewhere on the vehicle for a clearer view of the
sky.
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 and
properly terminated. Such a bus provides network connection nodes at
various locations around your boat. The NMEA 2000 network is similar to

the telephone wiring in a house. If you pick up a phone in your living room,
you can hear someone talking into the phone in the bedroom.
Lowrance and LEI provide all the cables you will need to create a NMEA
2000 network. Lowrance provides T connectors and extension cables so
you can add devices along the backbone wherever you want. Once you
have a working network, every sensor added will come with its own T
connector for easy expansion.
The simplest NMEA 2000 network is a GPS or sonar/GPS display unit
with the LGC-3000, one double-T connector, two 120 ohm terminators
and any extension cables needed to connect them.
It is easy to expand this network by removing a terminator from one end
of the double T connector, then inserting a new T connector or extension
cable between the double T connector and terminator (See the NMEA
200 network general information document that came with your unit for
more information). For more information on connecting your unit to an
existing NMEA 2000 network, see the NMEA 2000 Networks General In-
formation document that was packed with your unit, publication part
number 988-0154-173.
NMEA 0183 Wiring
(Data cable)
To exchange NMEA 0183 data, this unit has one NMEA 0183 version
2.0 communication port. Com port one (Com-1) can be used to receive
NMEA format GPS data. The com port can also transmit NMEA format
GPS data to another device.

Instance
The Instance command is intended for use only by experienced NMEA
2000 network technicians. Instance allows network technicians to re-
solve certain electronic probe conflicts. This is most likely to occur if the
network includes LMF-200 or LMF-400 digital gauges, which support
the display of fewer electronic probes than your GPS or sonar/GPS unit.
If you want to use your unit in a network including one of these digital
gauges, you may need to consult customer service.
You should never need this command if you are connecting your unit to
a network with similar display units and/or a series of electronic
probes.
Restore Defaults
The Restore Defaults command allows you to reset an individual EP-35
Temp Sensor's settings to factory defaults. If, for example, you execute
the Restore Defaults command from your Water Temp's Advanced Op-
tions menu, only the settings for the Water Temp will be reset to fac-
tory defaults. Other temps on the network will not be affected.

Advanced Options menu
The Fuel Flow sensor Advanced Options menu contains two categories:
Instance and Restore Defaults.
Instance
The Instance command is intended for use only by experienced NMEA
2000 network technicians. Instance allows network technicians to re-
solve certain electronic probe conflicts. This is most likely to occur if the
network includes LMF-200 or LMF-400 digital gauges, which support
the display of fewer electronic probes than your GPS or sonar/GPS unit.
If you want to use your unit in a network including one of these digital
gauges, you may need to consult customer service. You should never
need this command if you are connecting your unit to a network with
similar display units and/or a series of electronic probes.
Restore Defaults
The Restore Defaults command allows you to reset an individual EP-10
Fuel Flow Sensor's settings to factory defaults. If, for example, you exe-
cute the Restore Defaults command from your Port Fuel Flow Ad-
vanced Options menu, only the settings for the Port Fuel Flow will be
reset to factory defaults. Other fuel flows on the network will not be
affected.

NOTE:
The Suzuki Engine Interface Device Configuration menu contains
two Engine Trim calibration commands, which will be addressed in
the next segment of this section, Calibrating EP Sensors.
Calibrating EP Sensors
The factory calibration settings for the EP-10 Fuel Flow, EP-15 Fluid
Level and Suzuki Engine Interface should be adequate for the majority
of applications, so calibration will not be necessary in most cases.
EP-10 Fuel Flow Calibration
The default calibration for the EP-10 Fuel Flow is adequate in most
cases, but if Fuel Used readings are off by more than 3 percent, calibra-
tion is recommended.
To check fuel flow accuracy:
Select Fuel Used to be shown as Overlay Data on your unit's main dis-
play. Refer to the Overlay Data segment of this manual for instructions
on how to select Fuel Used data as Overlay Data.
1. After selecting Fuel Used as overlay data, fill up your tank and press
MENU|MENU.
2. Select NMEA 2000 and press ENT.
3. Highlight FUEL MANAGEMENT and press ENT. Select TANK LOCATION and
press ENT.

flow you want to calibrate and press ENT.
5. Highlight FILL TANK and press ENT. The following confirmation mes-
sage will appear: Are you sure you wish to Fill Tank?
6. Select YES and press ENT. The following confirmation message will
appear: Do you wish to re-calibrate the device?
7. Highlight NO and press ENT.
8. Take your vessel out on the water and burn at least five gallons of
fuel. Be sure you run only ONE engine — the engine connected
to your fuel flow.
9. Fill up your tank again, noting how much fuel you added to the tank.
Compare that number to the Fuel Used figure displayed on the page
you customized. If the amount of fuel you added to the tank and the
fuel used figure are off by more than 3 percent, we recommend the fuel
flow be calibrated.
NOTE:
You must use the gauge's Fill Tank command when filling your fuel
tank to keep the fuel flow updated with correct information on the
amount of fuel in the tank.

EP-15 Fluid Level Calibration
The default calibration for the EP-15 Fluid Level is just as accurate as
standard fluid level gauges. If, however, the tank has an irregular
shape or greater accuracy is needed, calibration is recommended. There
are three calibration options: 2-Point, 3-Point and 5-Point.
2-Point Calibration
A 2-point calibration is best suited for rectangular or square-shaped
tanks, where the capacity of the top half of the tank matches the capac-
ity in the lower half of the tank. In a two-point calibration, you will set
two points, one each for empty and full levels. You can begin calibra-
tion at either of the two points, but we recommend starting with an
empty tank. You will fill the tank to complete calibration.

3-Point Calibration
3-point calibration is designed for tanks that vary in shape from the top
to the bottom. You can begin calibration at any point in the 3-point
process, but we recommend starting calibration with an empty tank.
In a 3-point calibration, you will set three points, one each for empty,
half and full levels.
1. Press MENU| MENU, use ↓ ↑ to select NMEA 2000 and press ENT.

peatedly to get back to the main display.
5-Point Calibration
5-point calibration is best suited tanks that vary greatly in shape from
top to bottom. You can begin calibration at any point in the 5-point cali-
bration process. We recommend starting calibration with an empty
tank. In a five-point calibration you will set five points: Empty Level, 1
Qtr Level, Half Level, 3 Qtr Level and Full Level.
In a 5-point calibration, you will have four calibration points left after
calibrating your tank's Empty Level. To figure out how much fuel you
should add for the remaining steps of the calibration process, divide the
total capacity of you tank by four. So, if you have a 40-gallon tank, each
quarter tank will equate to 10 gallons.
