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.

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

to add red connector devices to a blue connector network.

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.
