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 sonar 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-15 Fluid Level Sensor's settings to factory defaults. If, for example, you execute the Restore Defaults command from your Gray Water Fluid Level Advanced Options menu, only the settings for the Gray Water Fluid Level will be reset to factory defaults. Other fluid levels on the network will not be affected.

To restore default settings:

1.Press MENU MENU, use ↑ ↓ to select NMEA 2000 and press ENT. The NMEA 2000 menu will appear with five options: Bus Setup, Fuel Man- agement, NMEA 2000 Alarms, Waypoint Sharing and Backlight Syn- chronization.

2.Highlight BUS SETUP and press ENT, which will open the Bus Configu- ration menu. A list of network devices will be at the top of the page.

3.Select the desired fluid level and press ENT. The Device Configura- tion menu will appear.

4.Highlight ADVANCED OPTIONS and press ENT.

5.Select RESTORE DEFAULTS and press ENT. The following message will appear: Are you sure you wish to change this device's configuration?

6.Highlight YES and press ENT. Press EXIT repeatedly to get back to the main display.

NOTE:

The Fluid Level Device Configuration menu also contains the Cali- brate button, but we will address that later in the segment covering Calibration.

The 320 x 240 pixel resolution enhances the ability to distinguish between different types of fish and underwater structures. One of its standout features is its Dual Frequency sonar, which operates at both 200 kHz and 83 kHz frequencies. This flexibility allows users to choose the most suitable frequency for their fishing conditions—200 kHz provides detailed readings for shallow water, while 83 kHz excels in deeper conditions.

The X515C DF also includes features such as Fish ID, which uses advanced algorithms to identify fish targets, making it easier for anglers to locate their quarry. Additionally, the unit offers a built-in GPS chart plotting capability, enabling users to navigate and mark waypoints effectively. This is particularly valuable for returning to successful fishing spots with ease.

On the other hand, the X510C maintains the high standards set by its counterpart but with a focus on essential functionalities that fit the needs of anglers who prefer a simpler setup. This model also showcases a 320 x 240 pixel high-resolution color screen and provides excellent visibility in various lighting conditions. The X510C features a robust sonar system that supports 200 kHz and 83 kHz frequencies, helping anglers locate fish and assess underwater topography effortlessly.

Both models are designed with user-friendly menus and controls, ensuring that even those new to fishfinding technology can navigate with ease. They also boast rugged construction to withstand the demanding conditions often faced by fishing enthusiasts.

In conclusion, both the Lowrance X515C DF and X510C deliver exceptional performance, innovative technologies, and features that enhance the fishing experience. With their dual frequency capabilities, high-resolution displays, and intuitive designs, these fishfinders empower anglers to make informed decisions, ultimately increasing their chances of a successful outing on the water. Whether choosing the advanced features of the X515C DF or the simplicity of the X510C, both units promise to enhance any fishing expedition.
