Some sonar or GPS display units may require a software upgrade to display NMEA 2000 data correctly. For free software upgrades or additional information on the LowranceNet NMEA 2000® network system, visit our web site, www.lowrance.com.

The EP-60R consists of a red cable connector and the sensor module. The sensor module contains a turbine to measure fuel flow and electronics which convert flow data to the NMEA 2000 data format. The cable length from the connector to the smart module is 10 feet (3 meters). The sensor is designed to work with gasoline only.

WARNING:

Do not use this sensor with diesel engine fuel systems. The EP-60R is designed only for gasoline engines.

This sensor has been optimized to measure flow rates between 0.6 to 45 gallons (US) per hour, but it will operate at flow rates outside that range. The sensor will add 0.5 PSI of back pressure on the fuel system with a flow rate of 20 gallons per hour. At the rate of 40 gallons per hour, the back pressure will be 1 PSI.

The EP-60R Fuel Flow, 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 female red to female blue adapter cable. Your sensor MUST be connected to a NMEA 2000 network or it WILL NOT function.

The NMEA 2000 female red to female Blue adapter cable allows users

to add red connector devices to a blue connector network.

Your EP sensor packs with a T connector needed to attach it to a LowranceNET NMEA 2000 network. If this is the first sensor you are connecting, you may also need to purchase of a LowranceNET Node Kit.
